Lower our flags to half staff for the late Shirley Temple Black, who is much more deserving than Whitney Houston.

When Whitney Houston, a singer made famous just as much by her drug abuse and tumultuous relationships died of a cocaine overdose, Barack Obama lowered the flag to half staff.

Now a much loved entertainer who went on to work in politics who was one of our United States Ambassadors has passed away and nothing at all has been said. This is a travesty, and Obama's actions are appalling.
