President Barack Hussein Obama’s attitude towards our military was on full display yesterday. While he was supposed to be addressing the horrible incident at Fort Hood, instead he made very insensitive remarks while, as always, he was trumpeting himself. The press conference took place during a meeting with Native American tribal leaders and did even address the shooting until only a few minutes in. Instead he was giving shout outs, smiling and being cheerful. It’s almost as if he really doesn’t care or grasps the enormity of this situation.
President Obama didn’t wait long after Tuesday’s devastating elections to give critics another reason to question his leadership, but this time the subject matter was more grim than a pair of governorships.
After news broke out of the shooting at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas, the nation watched in horror as the toll of dead and injured climbed. The White House was notified immediately and by late afternoon, word went out that the president would speak about the incident prior to a previously scheduled appearance. At about 5 p.m., cable stations went to the president. The situation called for not only his trademark eloquence, but also grace and perspective.But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a “shout-out” to “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow — that Congressional Medal of Honor winner.” Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?
Read the rest.
Obama’s attitude yesterday was stunning and quite revealing. He continues to proves time and time again that he is not much more than an Anti-American narcissist. He will make any national tragedy about himself and his progressive puppet masters. As for our troops, it seems that he really couldn’t care less. I’m sure he is probably trying to minimalize this incident since the perpetrator was a Muslim colonialist. I would guess that had it instead been a Christian or Jew, Obama would be all over this incident trying to take all political advantage of that fact that he could. However, the reality is that this act of terror goes against his message of Muslim tolerance that he is trying to shove down our throats despite the repeated evidence to the contrary. In the end it just isn’t in his or his Progressive masters’ interest to keep discussing this incident as it doesn’t fit into their message.
