In all honesty, if he was in Germany, how many people would be screaming about failing to be in Texas to honor the fallen soldiers?
The memorial service in Texas is today. Both George and Laura Bush have already visited the hospital to meet victims. Where is Obama? Who gives a damn where he is.
Beside which the Berlin wall celebrations have been going for some days.... it does seem like a slight from Obama as a Statesman.
He actually should have been at Fort Hood by Friday. Then it wouldn’t have been a problem for him to attend yesterday’s ceremony in Germany. I don’t think he had it on his schedule even before the massacre happened. He planned to send hillary.
He should have been in Texas Thursday night. No one would have faulted him for missing the memorial if he had stopped everything to comfort the families and the wounded instead of giving a half-assed mention of the murders during an Indian suck-up session.
Obama is in China - not because he wouldn’t like to celebrate old victories - but because he has to react on todays monetary defeat.
Likely he’s got to explain how exactly he’s planning to make generations of US citizens to work their debt off.
