President Obama Speaks to Fort Hood Commanding General

I realize he was scheduled to visit soldiers at Walter Reed late yesterday, and then he was to meet with Secretary Clinton, and this morning he's to meet with the people on The Hill over the medical care bill...but why isn't the President at Fort Hood yet? He could have gotten on Air Force One and made a really important visit by now...he could have met with Secretary Clinton on Air Force One and taken her with him to Texas. Lots of choices. He travels SOOOOO much (too much) around the country when he wants to push his agenda. A respectful, quick trip to Fort Hood seems to have been in order. It's pretty much too late by now.

There has just been a Terrorist Attack & he is taking his sweet time like nothing happened.

Hogwash. The perpetrator is in custody. It was done so fast you apparently missed it.

Yet again Obama is showing his true colors. Wake up America! There has just been a Terrorist Attack & he is taking his sweet time like nothing happened.

Its sad to say this is not shocking what happened (ft hood) with Obama in office

"You were probably cheering troop deaths in Iraq"

Spare us your holier than thou attitude!

You were probably cheering troop deaths in Iraq like Senator Chuck Schumer--who considered each one putting the Dems one step closer to control of the Senate.

Right wing carpers and whiners proving they have no idea of how to conduct themselves with some dignity and respect and honor troops, but lots of ideas about how to badmouth a President day in and day out.

Sheesh, the President of the United States doesn't even know the difference between a military post and a military base?

This is why poeple say - You don't send a kid to do a man's job. He has no expirence in anything - one moment I'm sorry he does have expirence in campaining and talking about himself.

"you silly fool." I see the liberals are in panic mode, always making it personal in uncomfortable exchanges....LOL....time-out for tierra

Obama hasn't said anything about JUSTICE, full prosecution of the law or anything. They guy's in custody - duh, and Obama needs to show the world that he is a true Commander in Chief by vowing justice for the men HE is in charge of.

Somber moment indeed.

"I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow was around, and so I want to give a shout-out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It’s good to see you."

I recall Pres. Clinton taking ownership of the situation and immediately stating: "You will pay". Obama's lukewarm statements about this shooting don't seem like he's too concerned about justice here."

You silly fool, Clinton did not have anyone in custody . . . his was a stern warning . . 'We're coming to get you".

In this today's situation, the man was already in custody. There is no need for swaggering or 'We're coming to get you'. We had already got our man. The guy was already in custody.

When the Federal Bldg in OK was bombed I recall Pres. Clinton taking ownership of the situation and immediately stating: "You will pay". Obama's lukewarm statements about this shooting don't seem like he's too concerned about justice here. Obama can take a lesson or two from Bill.

The least Obama can do is take some ownership for SOMETHING about this country. Makes me wonder if he really is a US Citizen.

Obama to Commanding General of Ft. Hood: ' . . . our thoughts are with you and all YOUR soldiers" ? ? ? What in the world is he thinking? Hasn't anybody told Obama that he is the Commander in Chief and the "YOUR soldiers" he is referring to are all willing to sacrifice their lives for him under his orders?

Someone please teach Obama how to address a tragedy.--tyler

Hey, Tyler, I will go with you. Obama is no more a good speaker. So many American have already realized how Obama's speech without THE PROMPT SCREEN becomes easily nightmare.

"Compare Bar. Obama's unedited speech with the speech by President George W. Bush on 9/11."
____________________________________

Different magnitude of event without any doubt, but are you talking about President George W. Bush's continued reading of 'The Goat' story when informed of the disasters? Magnificent.

You asked for a comparision, you got it.

Compare Bar. Obama's unedited speech with the speech by President George W. Bush on 9/11. Is this what we wanted when we voted? They tried to warn us 6 months before we voted. Obama is Commander In Chief of our Nuclear Weapons and of the people who died on Fort Hood. Did you know that?

"It was as if nothing had happened.
Obama giving shout outs, the crowd cheering and yelling. Obama bragging about his staff."

Obama was speaking as part of a forum today on Native matters. He quite properly gave his closing remarks to the forum and then went on to address the incident today as a separate matter.

That YOU treat it with so little respect attempting to gain political points - and make jokes about it (see BHO's comments below) is appalling.

Grow up.
