Obamas Response To Chris Kyles Death Will Make You Sick Two years ago, national hero Chris Kyle lost his life tragically when he was fatally shot at a Texas gun range in February of 2013. The event made headlines, and many patriotic Americans throughout the country took time to mourn and recognize the loss of someone who risked his life to protect our country. Of course, President Obama was noticeably silent on the death of this American hero. We all know that he has bent over backwards to recognize the death of public figuresthat is, if they are a minority. Remember Obamas reaction to Trayvon Martin, or the kind words he had following Whitney Houstons death? It is no surprise that the president remained silent when Kyle passed away. Weve known for a while that Obama shows little interest in our veterans. What do you think of Obamas silence?
