Has President Obama Been Convinced that Hasan was a Terrorist?

Doesn't matter. Even with this stuff staring them all straight in the face, political correctness paralyzes them from doing anything. Let's take a scenario whereby a white soldier has contacts with a white supremist group, and pledges his allegiance to the white race before his country.

Do think *he* would be promoted to Major? Do you think *he* would still be in the army? No, and rightly so, but when it comes to Muslims saying the exact same thing... oh, no... we can't say anything about that lest we hurt somebody's feelings.

And 13 people die and two score more wounded. And yet General Casey thinks that losing diversity would be *worse* than what happened.

We may be doomed.

Obama is clueless......period

I think Obama did a good job with his speech today, I will give him the benefit of the doubt one more time that his actions will match his words.

Ok so why not use the word terrorist or the phrase war on terror? Because of political correctness which will lead to more terror.

Ferrari5858 - Wow... one more time huh..

Where exactly wil you draw the line?
he lied about his associations, his experience, he is destroying our economy, our country all for the sake of power. He jumped to immediate conclusions and called a white cop stupid before he got the whole story but waits days before even giving the impression that he considers a muslim who kills a dozen people to be a terrorist..

How many "actions" do you need to see before you see the truth about this man?

Good speeches don't end the PC nonsense that has infected our society. All it does is lead to future good speeches after future attacks.

As obvious as Hasan's actions were, the President *still* couldn't bring himself to admit what the problem is. Until he does, people will continue to ignore the these kinds of problems for fear of being called a "racist".

Mayor Richard Daley blamed it on guns. Our leaders are clueless.

The guy who wrote "Obama is clueless....period" is clueless.....period. Your hero Bush was clueless. President Obama is many times smarter than Bush and twice the president in 1 yr that Bush was in 8.

dem in chicago, better make that dr. appointment. Kool-aid poisining is serious.

Perhaps Obama is sympathic to the guy. Everyone deserves a second chance. Just open the gates to Gitmo, prisons and US Borders (sorry, the US Borders are already open). Its just a feeling because everyone's actions are based on their feelings. Look at the last Presidential election, everyone's feelings would of been hurt if Obama was not elected. We cannot hurt anyone's feelings in todays society, that may risk inadequacies on their part. And the result of that would be horrible, perhaps even a lawsuit. Instead do it the new high-tech way - just TEXT it to them.

I don't think the insanity defense will fly. It seems pretty obvious that he was setting himself up as a plant until the time was right.

Another huge loss in this story is the hard work of the mental health professionals who are tarnished by this act of treason and treachery. How difficult will it be for a vet now to go to mental health to deal with personal/stress issues and feel confident in their sincerity to help...and how difficult for these professionals to re-establish credibility with the people they strive to serve. The casualty count of this heinous act will never be completely calculated.

I wish Gen. Patton was still around to fix this mess.

Can this day be about our heros instead of your bigots that have a stupid agenda against the President. This is not your day. The President did a good job honoring our heros today.

“It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy," Obama said. "But this much we do know – no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor. And for what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice – in this world, and the next.”

No faith justifies, huh? How hard is it to say Islamic faith? Christians get raked over the coals because we don't even want unborn babies aborted. Yet, this idiot Muslim goes in and MURDERS our own brave men and women, and he gets "clumped in" with all the other "faiths". Sorry Charlie, no deal. How can you equate any other faith with his? Last time I checked, Christians don't go around murdering people because they don't worship Jesus, they try to use their faith to help. (And, yes, there ARE exceptions). I never thought I'd see the day that political correctness would put our own military in harm's way on our own soil.

Obama did a good job today---he read off a teleprompter. His handlers probably had to muzzle him good after obama showed his true colors again on the day of the shooting as he used the incident to play celebrity, send out shout outs to buds in the audience, pat his loonie administration on the back, and showed no emotion or sorry for the troops murdered at the emergency speech that supposed to be about the shooting. Todays stunt was nothing but a photo opt of a ever lying fraud that now occupies the white house.

Republic Defender; I think you mean General Pershing?

dem in chicago, i don't know who posted the "clueless" comment, but why do you assume he or she is a bush supporter? you do realize that many who are opposed to the obama administration were also opposed to the bush administration, don't you?

This is on Obama's watch, with every time something is said he and his cronies scream racist..as a registered democrat I will NEVER vote for a democrat again. Obama is not protecting our country he is too busy campaigning and going on dates

dem in chicago, i forgot to mention that 1.25 million people voted for someone other than obama or mccain in 2008. that's 1% or 1/100 voters. it's not insignificant.

Michelle looked great, very somber and appropriate.

Obama can't undo his "afraid of a backlash" BS after the attack. The reason troops didn't report Hasan was because they were afraid of the PC/Eric Holder garbage of harping on discrimination.

This is the same administration that have no problem with armed Black Panthers yelling racial epiteths at white voters as they went to vote in Philly in 2008.

The PC is crazy.

Michelle Looked great. That is the only complimentary thing that can be said. God bless our troops.

"Powerful words, well delivered. From a man who seems convinced that one of America’s own convinced himself to kill on behalf of America’s enemies. And from a President who seems prepared to call for more sacrifice to defeat those enemies."
*******
George, the words were off a teleprompter. The man was a TERRORIST and Obama doesn't want to jump to conclusions until we have the facts. He thinks he may have cracked. Cracked from what? PRE-tramatic stress? He had never been in battle, and he was repeatedly promoted, even though he was receiving below standard evaluations, because minorities MUST be promoted.

The news media need to begin REPORTING on this President instead of REPEATING whatever he tells you to.

I wonder if Al-Qa'ida extremists ever reach the point where they "...could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and killing their own people." Ten-fold more Afghans (Muslims) and Iraqis (Muslims) are killed by Al-Qa'ida bombs than Americans or all westerners combined. If you are a Muslim, think about it. Look at today's bombing in Quetta by Taliban takfiris. They killed 24 Muslim men, women, and children. You think Allah will smile upon them for this? No.

Yes, I am one who remembers the stories of a father who flew over Europe in WWII and received the Distinguished Flying Cross. I do know classmates killed in Vietnam and a friend’s son killed in Iraq.

Americans all across this country, regardless of our political leanings honor the many generations who have served.

Out of all our President’s comments today, by what twisted logic is any of it a lie or a stunt or disrespectful. Take off your hate glasses.

I wouldn't say I'd blame you for this logic. After all, you're probably not used to the idea of a leader showing having the having the capabilities to muster the courage to face different situations all at once. I too came to learn just because I am ignorant of something does not mean it's not possible. I could see why you would think he had no compassion. Perhaps he was big enough to internalize what was coming while not wanting to spoil the moment for the Native Americans. I could certainly see why it could be interpreted as such perhaps by small minded individuals.

I only came to this website to see what the liberal loons were saying. I was very surprised thar abc viewers would have a clue what is going on here. Maybe there is hope for this wonderful country. Even if there is no hope for the "fringe" Media.
