WASHINGTON — On the most deadly day here since Sept. 11, 2001, with the capital reeling over the sadly familiar scene of a mass shooting by a madman, the chief executive stepped to the microphones and captured the heartbreak.
It wasn’t the chief executive of the nation. It was Dr. Janis Orlowski, the chief operating officer of MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where three of those injured were being treated.
“There’s something evil in our society that we as Americans have to work to try and eradicate,” she said, her voice stoic but laced with emotion.
President Obama also gave a speech Monday, talking at the White House while the drama unfolded at the supposedly secure Navy Yard nearby. He could have posted his original remarks on the White House Web site and replaced them with a cri de coeur on gun control, or comfort for the shaken city. The 12 who died were, after all, under his aegis as workers in a federal building.
But, jarringly, the president went ahead with his political attack, briefly addressing the slaughter before moving on to jab Republicans over the corporate tax rate and resistance to Obamacare.
Just as with the address to the nation on Syria last week, the president went ahead with a speech overtaken by events. It was out of joint, given that the Senate was put into lockdown and the Washington Nationals delayed a night game against the Atlanta Braves, noting on its Web site, “Postponed: Tragedy.”
The man who connected so electrically and facilely in 2008, causing Americans to overlook his thin résumé, cannot seem to connect anymore.

Rules, folks... rules.
Like all other mass murderers in recent history - he was on anti-depressants... A big 'thanks' to the medical community.
There’s something evil in our society that we as Americans have to work to try and eradicate>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And it is called liberal fascism:

My way or the highway, says our loser-in-chief.
The man who connected so electrically and facilely in 2008, causing Americans to overlook his thin résumé, cannot seem to connect anymore.
However, that said, he's connecting with the people that he needs to connect with, his sullen and thuggish "base" and government apparatchiks. That's really all he needs to cow the rest of the populace.
How about the SSRI antidepressant drugs “that have no therapeutic effect” but do have homicidal tendencies listed as as a side effect and which all of the shooters in all of these “events” have been on
Indeed, but sometimes I actually read the article and comments. :)
Micheal and the throat cancer virus spreader are separated, so I am not sure about the rules now.
The “capital reeling” or “the capitol reeling”? Where’s the editor and where are the pix?
Since Axholerod left the White House, it’s been one thing after another.
Some people don’t know when they have it good.
How many times a day does the Axe shake his head and mutter under his breath ‘Dumbass’.
She's getting panicky now that she sees more and more every day that her idol has feet of clay.
She sees him slipping down, down, down a black hole before her very eyes, but she can't cut quite him loose....and never will.
In this lightwweight article she can only criticize Obama's style dealing with Congress, but not a word about his flawed collectivist policies that are triggering his eventual downfall....and the country's demise.
Also, Miss Mo, our society is NOT evil. Some individuals in our (and every) society are evil. Most of us are productive, inventive, moral and patriotic. She just can't resist using that same-old broad-brush "denigrate-our-country" jab in her liberal babblings....the same jab that her dream-boy Obama and his clunker wife employ as a weapon against us at every opportunity.

Navy Yard shooter Alexis is a-n-o-t-h-e-r sap-happy Obam/Prog innovation. Kook/O gives out security clearances like they were Ecstasy pills.
Since Prog/O got in, some 5 million Ohaha henchmen were given top security clearance. Ntl security be damned. How many other Alexis' are there in that bunch?
Shockingly, Alexis passed several military background checks, gained high-level security clearance and had access to multiple military installations.
And BTW, Prog/O himself was given a race pass by the fellating presstitutes.
=========================================
So howzabout all those illegals being given a pass and a Democrat registration form by Prog/O and vote-crazed Dems?
They're all at the Mexican border---millions of illegal thugs from Baku to Bogata---- salivating for amnesty,for US govt freebies. All of them "hyphenated American citizens" ----voting blocs registered to vote Dem.
As Michele Malkin opined: Forget gun control. America needs government control...she notes the common thread among several mass killings and homeland security incidents....
=============================================
STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE
<><> the Clinton Administration disarmed our Armed Forces at military bases;
<><> tolerant and compassionate liberals closed our insane asylums, and put crazies like Alexis on the govt payroll;
<><> sap-happy liberals gave us the quota system; the best qualified flunk out; color, race, hyphenation, and genital preference get the jobs.
He electrically connected with the same people who are fascinated by shiny objects and stare at your hand when you try to point something out to them.
When Obama is whacked out of his skull on Obama, there’s not much we can do.
Rules!!!!!
"Multiple times a day" for $200.00 Alex.
