Eagle status doesn't mean you get invited to OA. The boys in the troop vote on OA candidates.

I became an Eagle in 1992 and don't recall getting a letter signed by the President. I did get a letter from Senator Heflin and from Congressman Sonny Callahan.

I did not get a letter from The Gipper, but the President signed my Eagle certificate (or some machine did).

Snopes says it's bs.
Snopes is a good source for things that are not political. It is run/owned by some folks that are very liberal and I don't know if you can trust the political info on the site.

It all does make sense...The Boy Scouts won't allow faggots and obama backs them so he won't sign... :roll:

Stick to your guns Boy Scouts!!!!

Keep this in mind about obama and the politicians in Washington.....
Isaiah 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. (KJV)
Isaiah 9:16 For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction. (Bible in Basic English)

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

....This passage from Matthew 15:14 does not at all mean that blind leaders should not be pointed out to the people, that they may avoid being deceived by them; for this our Lord does frequently, and warns his disciples, and the people in general, against all such false teachers, false leaders, etc.
....God often suffers one man to lead many to ruin. A rich and profligate man, an infidel, a man of learning, a politician, or a teacher, is allowed to sweep multitudes to ruin. This is not unjust, for those who are led are not compelled to follow such men. They are free in choosing such leaders, and they are answerable for being led to ruin.
....if the blind lead the blind, both must fall into the ditch. Alas, for the blind teachers, who not only destroy their own souls, but those also of their flocks! Like leaders, like people. If the leader be ignorant, he cannot teach what he does not know; and the people cannot become wise unto salvation under such a leadership/ministry-he is ignorant and wicked, and they are profligate. They who even wish such God speed; are partakers of their evil deeds. But shall not the poor deceived people escape? NO!... both shall fall into the pit of perdition together; for they should have searched the Scriptures, and not trusted to the ignorant sayings of corrupt men, no matter of what sect or party. He who has the Bible in his hand, or within his reach, and can read it, has no excuse.
