Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting
nbc CHICAGO ^ | 11/6/09 | Robert George

(SNIP)

But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and, inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a "shout-out" to "Dr. Joe Medicine Crow -- that Congressional Medal of Honor winner." Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?

Really, are we going to do this. You don't like my post... so you take it upon yourself to chastise me like your my mother.

Why can't you just move on if you don't like my post?

Sigh... no, you can't. Because being just a screen name on a Internet forum allows us to use all the great quips and put-downs we are too cowardly to use if we were face-to-face.

Have a great day.

So you try to re-lose the War of Northern Aggression with everyone you see face to face?

Well, I guess that's really not out of the realm of possibility. Point well taken.

No... I read the quote and commented. That's all.

It was you and you alone who thought I was trying to start something. It was you and you alone who thought that I was trying to re-lose the War of Northern Aggression. It was you and you alone who could not move past my post without comment. And, it was you and you alone who thought it was your place to take me down a peg or two.

My son and I were watching the “shout out” and almost screamed..... what a narcissist this man is - still in full on campaign mode - kind of like clinton. Always wanting to be in front of the camera having fun.

"unbelievable response by Obama...a 'shout out'???"

Yea, no teleprompter. That's the reason.
There aren't the words in all of the English lexicon suitable enough, graphic enough, vile or vulgar enough for describing the bumbling imbecile. "Pathetic" will have to do, for now.

“He truly is completely unaffected by it.”

I could just see that if it happened on W’s watch, W’s speech would have been given with a heavy heart and a knot in his stomach....with many pauses to regain his composure.

No normal person could carry on in such a breezy way, knowing his NEXT topic was a horrible massacre. And then to focus on HIS duties and how solemn they are...he's certifiably something, and it isn't normal.

That nails it

On W's watch we saw video of the moment he was told about the 9/11 attack.

Obama had over 3 hours to digest the Ft Hood attack news before coming to this pre-arranged event. The media was alerted by the White House that Obama was going to make a statement about the shooting.

He walks out and instead of first acknowledging the dead and wounded, he thanks his staff and cabinet, gives a 'shout out', incorrectly identifying a Medal of Freedom recipient as a Medal of Honor winner.

I don't know all the facts .... but ..... I think we're all agreed that Obama acted stupidly.

You said it perfectly.

0 would normally be shamed into saying the right things but he is surrounded by scores of marxist quislings and sycophants who do not know proper protocols for dealing with tragedies and with visiting allies.

It WAS a campaign appearance!

The Native American Tribes donated BIGTIME to Obama’s campaign in 2008 and to all Democrats. (Thanks to the Casinos that are now on most Reservations).

This was a campaign payoff appearance.

Of course campaign cash and support mean more to Zero and his fellow Demonazi’s than any terrorist attack that kills or wounds over 40 Americans!

Ok so he was already scheduled to step in front of those folks at the meeting and do his little song and dance thanking them. So why didn’t he do the statement about the murders at Fort Hood somewhere else entirely? It’s not like there aren’t other cameras and microphones and teleprompters in other locations in DC. He could have done the statement - ended - then walked into the meeting with no cameras and done his butt kissing there in his happy “shout out” tone. Idiot
