Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

A bad week for Democrats compounded by an awful moment for Barack Obama.

President Obama didn't wait long after Tuesday's devastating elections to give critics another reason to question his leadership, but this time the subject matter was more grim than a pair of governorships.

After news broke out of the shooting at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas, the nation watched in horror as the toll of dead and injured climbed. The White House was notified immediately and by late afternoon, word went out that the president would speak about the incident prior to a previously scheduled appearance. At about 5 p.m., cable stations went to the president. The situation called for not only his trademark eloquence, but also grace and perspective.

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?

Anyone at home aware of the major news story of the previous hours had to have been stunned.

He’s a POS. He doesn’t even know the difference between a Congressional of Honor and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. He opened his “statement” with a bunch of crap about some Indian health care conference. Apparently his commie advisors are as clueless as he is.

The dumb*ss (obama, not Dr. Joe Medicine Crow) didn't even get the medal correct. Some CIC, doesn't know the CMH from the Congressional Gold Medal.

Yep, that's why his approval has plummeted in less than one year.

This was a case of ritualistic genocide, not just murder.There is a significant difference.

God defeated Allah at Fort Hood.He also did not let Hasan die to gain a seat next to his perverted god.

Political Correctness is used to keep America blind to what actually goes on inside a Mujihads heart mind. The left has worked so hard at making sure that America does not see its war against Terror as a religious war, when in fact the enemy sees it as EXACTLY that. A religious war.

This is , as Bush said, a war against evil. And evil came to Fort Hood in the form of a jihadi who was in fact possessed by Allah.For me this incident has shades of the movie “Exorcist.”

And Good has triumphed, even though so many innocents died.
This truth of which we speak needs to me shared with America as much as possible.America needs to know of the evil which it faces, at long last. No matter what the left want to make of it.

The religious practice of the Mujihad needs to be explained to every one. There is an inner prayer designed to connect one with the self righteous energy of Allah, who literally takes over the body and mind of the jihadine.That's what happened here.A kind of Muslim spiritual possession.Hasan was not insane, or deranged. He was just fired up on his prayers and energized.He was executing a religious ritual which he believed would open the gates of heaven for him.Hasan expected to be killed so that he and his victims would end up basking in the radiance of Allah, which is the spiritual goal of the Mujahid. That is what makes this incident religious genocide. THIS IS A WAR CRIME.No different that the burning of the Jews by Hitler.

The MSM will not properly inform the public about this religious practice of jihadism.It would no longer be a war on terror,The terrorists could no longer be redefined as “criminals” by Obama , who should be Mirandized with the benefits of due process that Bush had made sure to remove, as deserved. These secret jihadist teachings now flourish on US soil, and within our own military. They must be rooted out and utterly destroyed.

Look, it's not his fault that he's half white.

Seriously, I believe that the author meant to say "light-hearted."

Zero didn’t seem moved by the incident because he’s from chigago where they are used to this kind of stuff.

I respectfully disagree. He’s not showing emotion because he can’t show his true feelings: approval and joy. /dead serious

“God defeated Allah at Fort Hood.He also did not let Hasan die to gain a seat next to his perverted god.”

While I will not question God, I wish he would have let this muslim scum die and “gain” a seat next to his perverted god. Why? Because his real name is Ba’al or Azaezel, and this POS deserves to be in Hell with him. For eternity.

there was a report that he is paralyzed.

If so, and he spends the rest of his life totally incapacitated, totally dependent on "infidels" for everything, every drop of water, every morsel of food, and all his bodily needs -

"Vengeance is MINE, sayeth the Lord."

Agreed my FRiend. Hasan is in his own little hell right now.
His death will be slow and excrutiating. My prediction is that he will suicide if he can, for hell will not let him go.

He doesn’t have to die to GTH. He is already in it.
