Obama snubs Ft. Hood to relax at Camp David (This is the CINC!)

Dan Riehl checks the President's schedule and learns that Obama's not going to Fort Hood, but rather to Camp David for the weekend. In an update, Dan notes that his predecessor is more sensitive to the situation.

Fox Reports GWB and Laura spent a few hours at Fort Hood, no photo ops. Now that's a CIC.

Are you kidding me? Camp frickin' David? What, does he have a tee time close by? For heaven's sakes, he's the CIC. And he's taking the weekend off? This guy simply doesn't care. Unbelievable via Fox.

11:25AM THE PRESIDENT addresses the House Democratic Caucus - Cannon House Office Building

2:30PM THE PRESIDENT makes a statement to the press on Health Care - Rose Garden

2:45PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY depart The White House en route Camp David - South Lawn

That Dancing with the Indians conference must have really worn the poor guy out so much he can't spare time to comfort the survivors of the jihadi Major's massacre.

The administration has no political instinct whatsoever. This is a no-brainer.

That’s the real Obama.

Obama: Golfing or my Country? Golfing or my Country? Golfing!

[kristinn]

Yep. Just announced he’ll be performing Tuesday at the memorial service at Fort Hood. Maybe he’ll open his remarks by reciting the Muslim call to prayer in perfect Arabic.

Meanwhile a real President has visited the wounded at Fort Hood. The only way Obama would visit them is if he could get a photo-op out of it for political points.

[1000 silverlings]

we are leaderless and adrift

[jazusamo]

Amen!

[Tzimisce]

J*SUS CHR*ST!

WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WITH YOU AMERICA???????????????

NOT ONLY DID YOU ELECT THIS GUY, YOU INSTALLED A CONGRESS THAT IS DOOMING US!

(Sorry for the all caps, but I can't believe what I'm seeing!!!!!!)

All that nose candy is beginning to show for everyone to see and not just guess.

Is he really this tone deaf? Are his advisors really this stupid? Geeze at least Clinton knew to put on the act.....

Weelllll.... did you ever stop to think that maybe Obama doesn't even know how to put on the act? He has no clue what to do in a situation like that, and his advisors know he has no clue, and so they keep him away.

In very stark contrast to W showing up there today. Bush has always had a great capacity for showing sympathy and concern -- he really means it, and knows how to show it. And he's humble enough to go there and show that he cares.

Probably not a lot of folks will notice that Obama didn't go down there.... but for those who did, they're going to remember this. It's going to bite him; if not now, it will down the road.

The President did go to Fort Hood, President George Walker Bush!

The pres—ent ( president without ID ) took a powder however, and is off to play golf.

"Is he really this tone deaf? Are his advisors really this stupid?"

He and his advisors are neither tone-deaf nor stupid. They are sending a message and it has been received loud and clear.

A) There is no jihad.
B) The war on terror is over. They won.
C) Kiss my marxist @ss.

Ok, as much as I dislike the Obama administration, I don’t believe anyone is well served by his presence at Ft. Hood. The place is already a mess due to the attempt to secure and gather every detail about what happened. There is still some concern that the shooter may have had an accomplice. (He did manage to get off 100 rounds)

To bring the President, his bloated security detail, and all the drooling press into this situation would be an extremely large distraction to those trying to either investigate or return this vital base to a semblance of normalcy.

Rick Perry even made a statement saying that his presence there would only serve to be a distraction and that he would only go there at the request of the base.

The President is probably doing the right thing - possibly for the wrong reasons, but who’s to say?

[bray]

He hates our military.

Pray for America and Ft Hood

Thank Goodness he chose not to come to Fort Hood. I have been extremely worried that we would have to have a major contamination cleanup if he made the trip.

I also determined that the only way to remove the contamination would be to have Sarah Palin retrace his steps and then stop by my house...

From Bell County, I live twenty miles east of Fort Hood between the Fort and Scott and White Hospital. We watched the Medivac Helicopters fly by.

POTUS needs shortening to POS.
