Beshear Received Cold Shoulder

  • {Kentucky}...Governor Steve Beshear was accused of snubbing President Barack Obama when the president visited Fort Campbell earlier this year to meet the Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden. But, now it appears Beshear was the one who received a cold shoulder when he wasn't invited. One of Beshear's closest advisers, Katie Dailinger, had quizzed the governor's secretary, Sally Flynn, in an email on May 6th, the day of the visit, asking if she had received an invitation for the governor from the White House. Flynn responded, "No,I didn't." Flynn then sent a follow up, asking if some other Beshear staffer had received such an invitation, but they replied, "Not that any of us can tell." A White House official confirmed that Beshear wasn't invited.
