Like, what conclusions are we not supposed to jump to?

[machogirl]

Just like you didn’t jump to conclusions regarding the “white cop” “black professor”?

[motor_racer]

“We don’t have all the facts” means “We haven’t decided what the best way to spin this is yet.”

[mdittmar]

islam is a religion peace,don’t know what the President is talking about.

[dajeeps]

Talks like a terrorist, walks like a terrorist, acts like a terrorist = terrorist

Just because it appears he was acting alone doesn’t mean that he isn’t a terrorist, or that it wasn’t a terror attack.

Why can’t the O just call the attack what it was?

Heard a comment on a local talk radio call-in program saying, in effect, that Obama is the wrong person to be telling the public “not to jump to conclusions” when he was the guy calling the Cambridge cop & police force “stupid”, suggesting that they were racist. Thought that was an interesting take on President “Shoot from the Hip”.

[TennesseeGirl]

Yep. You refer to Henry Louis Gates Jr.

[dila813]

Like someone died, we haven’t seen the coffins or anything...we just need to chill don’t you see?

[WestTexasWend]

Nobody has all the facts on the health care bill, but BO expects Congress to jump to a conclusion by passing it.

[Bryanw92]

So, a muslim with a history of speaking out against America and the WOT goes on a shooting rampage shouting Allah Akbar after giving away his possessions...and we shouldn’t rush to judgement.

But, we need to pass a health care takeover bill that isn’t finished and hasn’t been read because there isn’t time for debate??

[machogirl]

Yes, the “Good Professor”.

[gwilhelm56]

can we make that ... President “Shoot from the LIP?”

[machogirl]

“Never let a crisis” (murdering jihadist) go to waste”. time to RAM their socialist agenda through while the majority of the country is in mourning.

[Texas Eagle]

Obama said: “We don’t know all the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.”

Good thinking, Barry.

Ummm...what facts DON'T we have?

[eleni121]

Muslim students stared stonily in class as people talked about the massacre.

Mmm...mmm...mmm

Barack Obama cautioned a stunned public on Friday against drawing quick conclusions on a shooting rampage by an officer at a Texas military base that killed 13 people.

I remember distinctly, on the morning of 9/11, when Dan Rather looked into the camera and said, "WE DO NOT KNOW WHO DID THIS."

I turned to my children and said, "He's lying. Obama bin Laden did this, and everyone knows it."

[the invisib1e hand]

whoops. I meant "Osama bin Laden."

Silly me. Or was it some cosmic freudian slip?
