ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Only 10 military service members get personal Christmas Day phone calls from President Barack Obama. Last month, Coast Guard Petty Officer Golda Payne learned she would be one of them.

Payne, a 25-year-old Tampa native stationed in Kuwait, couldn't wait. She researched the Obama family. She planned to keep things "light," maybe ask about the family dog and tell him about her bulldog puppy. She gave an interview to the Coast Guard newspaper.

But Christmas came, and Obama never called. Two days later, Payne said her officers told her this was why: The White House had run a criminal background check on her, saw a 2006 drunken driving conviction and didn't want to risk negative publicity.

Payne said she was hurt and disappointed. The drunken driving arrest is her only criminal charge, according to state records, and was a turning point that led her to join the military.

"The Coast Guard has been hands down the best thing that has ever happened to me," Payne said in an email. "It provided me structure and discipline when I needed it most." . . .

sorry, but IF Obama had called her on christmas,

Rush and other pundits would still be talking about it.

THe prez has to do everything he can to avoid contact with criminals.

This woman drove a 1000 pound piece of metal at speeds capable of killing a human, and she did it after doing body shots off her buddies all night. 


I'm most disappointed that a person willing to kill other humans with a vehicle due to their love of jaeger bombs, even join the military. 

[Soul Crusher]

Hhhhmmmm, doesn't stop him from playing golf w his buddy who was just busted in a prosttuion ring.

[240 is Back]

"was a turning point that led her to join the military"

And that?  TURNING POINT?

Everyone has a turning point once they do something really bad to risk other people's lives - but only when they get CAUGHT for it.  

If you don't have the brains to, oh, sleep it off in your car instead of risking killing others with your impaired vision, I'm not sure about your decision making on very big things like serving.

I dunno, I have a sore spot for drunk drivers, but "it was a turning point" doesn't really work -  Oh and one more thing - this person was 19 or 20 years old when she was caught DUI.  Look at the dates.  Not even old enough to drink - and she's drinking and driving.  THis person should not be complaining she didn't get her phone call.  She drove drunk underage with no regard for the lives of americans.

If obama called the other 9 people, then you have nothing to bitch about here.

this person drove drunk underage.  unacceptable.   This wasn't a person who had 2 beers with dinner then got railroaded by a jerk cop.  No, she was an adult who chose to drink alcohol illeglaly, then get behind the wheel illegally.  And we ALL know that a drunk driver is never caught on their first offense.

LOL!  Obama was buddies w a guy who bombed the pentagon remember?

and was condemned rightfully for it.

I guess obama 'turned the corner' and learned his lesson like this underage drunk driver did, so we should all high five him?

Sorry, i appreciate this soldier's service, but i can understand any prez steering clear of a phone call which will be used politically.

also needs condemned for that, agreed.

Doesn't affect this case, in which you are trying to defend a drunk driver by using moral equivalencies.  FAIL.

She was an underage drunk driver, end of thread.

Whatever.   Do you get paid for this?

[240 is Back]

hey, obama was born in kenya and associates with terr'ists like ayers.  agreed compeltely that he shouldn't be prez.

doesn't change the fact that I dislike drunk drivers in a big way - especially those tho are underage drunk drivers as adults. 

[Dos Equis]

That's pretty messed up.  Even worse that they were not smart enough to keep this out of the press.

Come one dude, get off your soap box.
Everyone fucks up, depends on how they continue on without it.
I think the fact that she was super young makes it that much more obvious that overall it was good for her.
If thats the only blemish in her life - and she made it when she was young and stupid... good for her for learning from her mistake and moving on.
Most people I know that have 1 DUI, have 3 or 4.

[Soul Crusher]

She is busting her ass in Kuwait while Ghettobama hosts Alice in Wonderland feats at the WH and a DWI from 5 years ago makes so that thugbama can't call her on Christmas to thank her for her service? 


fucking please.

Those decisions are actually handled by the President but of course once again you blame Obama for something completely silly......   Besides that, they likely replaced her name with someone elses....

[Soul Crusher]

It's not silly.   Shows how self absorbed and self centered Ghettobama is

i know everyone messes up... but when youre wasted, you always have the choice to go to sleep in your vehicle.


that delayed judgement can kill people, all because the girl coudn't just doze in her car for 2 hours before leaving.  And this was after she shit all over the laws of our country and drank while underage.

Sorry, i'm all for serving your debt to society if you fck up.  But she should shrug this one off.

And?  So Ghettobama shouldn't call her cause of something 5 years ago while she is in Kuwait and he is partying on the beach?   


Talk about warped values.

Talk about warped values.   

to me, drunk driving is like shooting a gun down the road at night.  randomly.  But a car going 55 mph with an impaired driver can do a lot more damage.

I'm fine with giving drunk drivers ten years in prison - automatic.  Sleep in your car or catch a ride.  Or, just stay home and drink.  I love merlot, but I drink early and give myself 6 hours before I'll touch a wheel. 

Sorry, if you drive drunk, you endanger americans.  that's a big deal.
