Thanks for that graphic. I know several liberal acquaintances who will receive it.

I agree - it's a photo op. Obama is grandstanding. If I recall right, he did not attend BP Agent Brian Terry's funeral.

[devere]

Going for some “hand to hand combat”, or to “bring a gun to a knife fight”?

Our national leader in inflammatory rhetoric can’t resist trying to throw some gasoline on a fire.

[GeronL]

The US doesn’t lower flags to half-staff for just anyone. For the federal judge makes sense I guess.

[budwiesest]

Such a waste of resources. A President going to the scene of a whack-job's horrific crime scene to sooth what, schizophrenia? Operation "Photo Op" at full cost to taxpayers. Is this America's beer summit?

Don't look now, but Iran has a "surveyor's" mark on D.C., punk.

[penelopesire]

Good point. I think we all know the answer to that...Obama doesn’t give a rat’s ass about our border security or our agents.

[Bullfrogg]

He will find a lonely spot in the desert, collect some rocks, and make a small cross, then shed a tear.

[dandiegirl]

BO tries so hard to be Bill Clinton. It’s funny.

[azishot]

If I recall right, he did not attend BP Agent Brian Terry's funeral.

You're right. Napolitano attended. I hope he doesn't drag her along.

"President Barack Obama will travel to Tucson, Ariz., on Wednesday to honor the six people slain by a gunman last Saturday in a shooting spree that gravely wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, according to an administration official.

In the finest tradition of misery pimps such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, President Barack Obama will travel to Tucson, Arizona on Wednesday to milk every possible political advantage he can from the tragedy in a pathetically shameless but vain attempt to resuscitate his moribund presidency. When asked what first went through his mind when he heard the news, he blurted, "Thank God Jared was neither Muslim nor black--I mean, thank God Giffords is still alive."

[spodefly]

Did you get your Oklahoma City yet, Barry?

[kitkat]

***But screw the Ft Hood Soldiers eh Barry?**

***POS***

Absolutely right.

[penelopesire]

These people are out to destroy this country and they are doing a fine job of it.

[piasa]

Well, the golfing IS better in Tucson this time of year than it is in DC...

[penelopesire]

Yeah and their ice cream is probably better now that it’s winter.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Wow, I really can't believe this. Six innocent people were gunned down, including a precious beautiful 9 yo child....and the conversation is nothing but what side is to blame. An elected official is laying in a hospital because some lunatic put a bullet through her brain.

I understand the defensive nature because of the accusations being thrown around but damn, what are we becoming? Just who are we anymore? Where is our focus?

I fear this Country has passed the point of no return, this incident seems to prove it....I'm thoroughly disgusted.

You win! Mark Pence (?) said he needed his 'Oklahoma City' to re-connect with people. What could be sicker? Will these now become staged events?

[penelopesire]

I fear you are right but I don’t intend on rolling over and letting the libs smear our values or our leaders for something they had nothing to do with. I am sick of this crap!

[aruanan]

The first thought that went through my mind on hearing the news was, "It was probably some leftist nut and it'll be blamed on conservative Republicans."

[LibLieSlayer]

This will look self serving and appear as what it is... a campaign event... All Rush has to do is whisper into the EIB Golden Mic and say “Wellstone”. obama and the dims have overplayed this to the point that media are reporting on the left's horrible behavior... Internationally... obama is a joke... but the joke is on us... for two more years.
