WASHINGTON

Having said that, after watching today's news conference where he went on, gave a shout out and the audience applauded, whistled, while the breaking banner said "dead and injured at Ft Hood" and 2 minutes in he FINALLY addressed the situation at Ft Hood. I watched in shock.
I am at my wit's end this man is contemptable.
Families are waiting to know what they need to plan on for Afghanastan and Obama doesn't care.
Now I read this, and I honestly do not believe there is a sincere bone in our CIC's body, they can say this was planned but all they have talked about was his VISIT to Capital Hill tomorrow (Friday). Would it be wrong for me to think this way?
My prayer's go out to all those at Ft Hood, they are my military family and to all their families all over the world. We have the most amazing military in the entire world.
I've seen your name many times on interesting threads, so it's good to see you posting again.
I can’t see him being double booked. So I think this is another lie. He has changed his plans due to the Ft. Hood incident.
To late for a re-do you poser!
No, you aren’t wrong. He is the most disgusting piece of work I can ever remember seeing in ANY position of power in this country. Even bill clinton would not have been this despicably obvious.
I don’t think he will be received well at WR, especially after today. But you will never hear it.
There are so many others who would be a true joy for these brave folks to have visit them. This potus is so loathsome that I would really rather he pass and go play golf or something...
I hear he’s staying up all night practicing his salutes.
Do NOT even get me going on the guy’s inability to salute each time I see it I just wonder what the hell is he thinking and who gave him pointers.
Darkwolf377 I recall your insightful posts well, it is good to see you to.
Yes, they wanted the calender for tomorrow out there but not the header heaven forbid anyone knows his true schedule someone might just let it slip this was NOT on the calender.
I firmly believe he is doing this because of Ft Hood. Now the question when will he decide to turn Ft Hood into a personal campaign for him like he did at Dover AFB.
Again great to see you as well.
FYI. The Narcissist-in-chief is going to Walter Reed for a photo op “on Friday afternoon.”
If this happened under Bush’s Presidency and he did NOT rush to Texas, the outcry would be high decibel:
“What is wrong with the President? Why doesn’t he fly immediately to Texas, to comfort the families?”
(Don’t be surprised if he winds up going to Texas soon. It is all about him first; not the families at their time of crisis.)
The obligatory Obama head-fake.
I am conviced that he did as well. Of course the left will say that I am unamerican for questioning his motives. Well, I am a military spouse and I frankly think I have earned the right to wonder what he does when it regards our military and challange him when I think it is a publicity stunt.
Let me say, in general the Prez should visit our troops but this guy has only been to Walter Reed once and it was the day before he took office and Landstuhl (Germany) once as well. Ok getting to Germany, tough but he did go over seas for the Olympic bid and oh yeah the White House is only 45 minutes away give or take a few with traffic.
I watched the YouTube clip and closed the window after a minute. I couldn’t take it - it was heartbreaking.
Prayers for the those killed and injured. Prayers for their families and friends.
Just his way of saying to any more officers that knew Nidal Malik Hasan (mmm mmm mmm), and might be thinking of talking, that he “knows where they live.”
If I had to gander I would bet our injured troops would prefer that he remain at the WH doing what is needed to help fellow troops and their families at Ft Hood. I imagine some will even feel guilty that he is there. This is just such bad timing, the man has a tin ear ..
I mean after how he addressed this during his remarks with the American Indians I tell you that was one of the lowest times I have watched a sitting prez address the media and country and it took him 2 minutes to finally get around to Ft Hood, that is after shouting out, the audience laughing and oh yeah whistling. Than he said “you all know about the event’s at Ft Hood” so the audience knew and they still were not solomn.
Oh I am just getting more angry as I go.
I think that and his "shout out" today are two moments which will fly under the radar of many pundits, but will later turn out to be turning points in Obama's popularity. I don't think we've seen the end of his poll freefall, based on that Obama voter I know, who isn't a conservative but a thoughtful right-leaning moderate. Well, he WAS.
He’s setting us up with this sudden interest in the welfare of the military. He’s planning to cave on Afghanastan, and justify it as being “for the troops”.
