He ran off to attend a Democratic Party fund raiser. And no he did not share the proceeds with the victim’s families. Obama is vile.

He did promise that he would stick with his own kind:

And he chose the muslim responsible for the atrocity.

Well, perhaps during the next national tragedy on his watch, he can give the victims of both shootings “a shout out,” just like he did for Joe Medicine Crow.

Believe it or not, a long (long) time ago, that magazine actually had some balance. They took shots at anyone deserving them - right or left. They were much more towards the libertarian side of things, with a strong distrust of big government. Then - I’m guessing it was about 15 -20 years ago, they moved solidly into the bubble-headed left column. Who knows, perhaps they are trying to drift right.

I would not ask the sob for a drink of water if I was dying of thirst.

They should’ve used benign deception. Invite the President to Fort Hood to receive some sort ofaward. Make sure there is a large gaudy medallion and purple velvet sash to drape over his skinny shoulders. While he makes his acceptance speech, cut the Pres. mic off. Then have the Foot Hood survivors, plus Fox News commandeer the whole damn meeting.

“We believe that if the President could hear, first-hand, our plight and our mistreatment at the hands of his bureaucracy, that he would take the steps needed to set things right. Therefore, we ask for ten minutes of his time.”

Dreamers all. God bless them, and their families, but this man is taking steps that don’t include setting anything right. He’s a Communist puppet with a heart filled with hatred of anything American, and especially those that sacrifice for America.

In the years since Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire in a crowded Fort Hood medical center, killing 13 people and wounding another 32, victims have struggled to get medical care and financial benefits.

When deciding how to best use taxpayer dollars this administration considers only one thing - will it net democrat votes.

Unfortunately for the Ft Hood shooting victims the DNC statistics say that military community just isn't fertile ground.

You wanna meet with Obama? You need to say that all you want to do is bask in his reflected glory and he'll show up. Otherwise, if you want him to actually take responsibility for anything, fugetaboutit.

"This tragedy tears at wounds still raw from five years ago. Once more soldiers who survived foreign war zones were struck down here at home, where they're supposed to be safe."

------------------------------------------------>

This guy and his minions are vile.

The wounds are "still raw from five years ago."

The wounds raw from five years ago?~!

The wounds will always be raw for those affected. The survivors weren't given their benefits or even a little bit of respect - how about easing those wounds.

B. Hussein O. feels no raw wounds for Ft. Hood military, then or now.

Likely, Ft. Hood will only be part of a chapter in his 3rd autobiography.

Someone will probably even have to remind him of Ft. Hood.

I like it. It would make a great protest sign. “Bey Obama, why isn’t your White House a gun free zone?”

He ran off to Houston to TWO different campaign fundraisers hosted by Texas trial lawyers (the ilk of the biggest political donors in the state).
