The Mulato Muslim Marxist doesnt give a chit about the military, that’s why! (SPIT)
he’s “evolved.”
What was the ethnicity/race of the majority of the Fort Hood victims? The Colorado victims? Just asking.
When the Fort Hood massacre occurred an election was not on the immediate horizon.

Colorado Batman shooting shows obvious signs of being staged
CBA Just announced that the Colorado shooter is in Fact,
a registered Democrat and a close Friend to Eric Holder..
He also sent a Happy Birthday Card to Nancy Pelosi and thanked her for Her “good advice”....
see. How easy it is to start a LIE. this is the Goal of The Media Scum.
This is trending toward making the gesture as irrelevant as the Nobel Prize , a Pulitzer or an Oscar.
He wasn’t in ‘campaign’ mode then, just ‘paying back his bro’s’ mode then.
This is crazy anti gun theater by Barack Obama, nothing more.
Why doesn’t the flag dip every time Chicago racks up 14 murders?
Keep your outrage next to your heart. Vote your outrage in November. Get rid of every Dem scum sucking pig!
right on track as usual
I bet he wanted to lower it for Trayvon.
It’s just his socialist “teachable moments” doncha know?
Obama had to show his solidarity with Hasan. Today he had to work with Holmes in promoting gun control. One was a matter of faith and loyalty, the other a matter of politics.
Didnt hear about this in the national news. Did you? 10 dead and 40 wounded in one weekend.
27 homicides in the first 3 weeks of July!!??!! Where is the outrage?? The sympathy??
Over 250 homicides in Chicago in the first 180 days of 2012!!
Dont these dead people and their families have the same right to have their deaths and misery exploited for political gain as the Batman fans of Aurora Colorado?
27 killed on Chicago streets this month alone. Flags are at full staff.
Go figure.
How come Obummer doesn’t lower the flag to half-mast for the 250 folks already murdered this year in the city of Chicago? That’s 20 times more than the Colorado killings and most of the murdered in Chicago are black. Is Obummer a racist or something, refusing to honor the dead blacks in Chicago?
The purpose behind lowering the flags and keeping them lowered until Wednesday has a much more practical and helpful purpose for the Obama administration. What it does is put politics ‘on hold’ for a number of days in light of the hits Obama is taking for his true from the heart statements in Roanoke last week.
Secondly, it gives him the chance to reinvent himself once again, similar to the bump he got after the Giffords shooting in AZ in early-2011. He can claim a presidential tone, milk it and use it as another opportunity to attack the NRA and 2nd Amendment supporters. The timing couldn’t be better given the push to put us under UN treaties restricting our right to bear arms.
Thirdly, this is an opportunity for Obama to use this massacre as his own Oklahoma City, playing Clinton to the sagging democrat masses.
This massacre is the kind of opportunities liberals love to use for political gain. They are cornered, scared and looking for a way to change the subject. They will use this to the max and the lowering of the flags is just a small first step.
So no, the flag shouldn't be lowered 'when the President decides they should be lowered'. This is a horrible act of evil but the lowering of the national standard is generally reserved for the deaths of principal figures rather than to score cheap political points at 0bama is trying to do. Some states lower their flags for combat deaths -- this is understandable and in my mind also appropriate.
You should also educate yourself on the difference between half-staff and half-mast. Flags over land fly at half-staff. Flags over water fly ay half-mast. The terms are not interchangeable.
