Obama Gives Shout Out to 'Congressional Medal of Honor Winner' Who Isn't

The Washington Post this afternoon reported "President Obama delivers remarks on Ft. Hood shooting at end of tribal leaders conference." The transcript begins:

SPEAKER: PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

[*] OBAMA: Please, everybody, have a seat. Let me first of all just thank Ken and the entire Department of the Interior staff for organizing just an extraordinary conference.

I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It's good to see you.

Ah, the dangers of giving shout outs without a teleprompter.  Crow is not a Medal of Honor recipient.  As noted by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society:

The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. Generally presented to its recipient by the President of the United States of America in the name of Congress, it is often called the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Crow's name is not included on the Society's Medal of Honor recipient list.  He was, however, awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in August.

Obama, often described as "cerebral" by the mainstream media, should know the difference between the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom, especially since he personally awarded the latter to Crow.  Don't expect his blunder to receive wide coverage.  It's not something he can blame George Bush for.

Without a teleprompter, I doubt the former community agitator...

...even knows the difference between a Congressional Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom.

Not really sure he would know the difference even with a teleprompter. 

After all, one has to be truly "plugged in" to America to know the difference, and Barack Husein Obama is about as disconnected from this country, and especially its history and traditions, as one can possibly be.

Damn, do we ever need a "reset" button.

Our elected representatives have failed us.  

Not bush its cheneys fault...

after all Cheney had the medal ballot on his desk for 8 months and never acted on it. SO why is it such a big deal now that Obama gave it out and forgot the title.. I mean Cheney didn't even take the time to give the honor.

Mike,

LOL-I had forgotten all about that.

-Dave

Our elected representatives have failed us.  

O doesn't have a clue!

You see, he never looked at the recipient or the medal. How can you expect him to rememmber such things when he's got so much on his mind.

Let's see:

"I'd like to thank the Interior Department......(O, yeah I got to say something about Ft. Hood. Maybe my Indian friends will be thrilled to be thought of first, so I'll talk about them and how the excesses of the military symbolized by Fort Hood, have been avenged by a Muslim Army Officer.........)

" I want to play golf again with the same foursome from the other week, that female sure looked good from behind."

"I don't really want to got to Germany for the celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. They snubbed me and wouldn't let me speak at the Brandenberg Gate."

...............

Oh, Yeah......."My thoughts and condolences go out to.......

You pinned it, northcoaster!!! Every day he proves to the

country that a HUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE mistake was made last November!  Is it too late to call for a recount???  I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that ACORN/SEIU were responsible for his win!

His constant effort to 'be cool' comes across as a 7th grade boy!  We need a leader, not a campaigner! 

Be sure to call the Capitol switchboard today to register your NO to Healthcare 'Reform'   202.224.3121  And keep calling...let's JAM the switchboard...believe me it's been quite busy this morning!

 

Obama reacts to Ft Hood slaying

He showed what hs is first and foremost: A campaigner. Yes, not cool, not even cold. But campaigner always. Get the tribal voters on his side, then soothe the feelings of the military dumb-bells under his amateurish and casual command. But never offend his constituents with names similar to his.

 

 

BenB - indeed he will never acknowledge that Islam was a

VERY significant part of the massacre that took place!  And his minions in the former mainstream media, now government-run media, are echoing his concerns.

The Major was NOT a victim - he deliberately committed murder, high treason, in fact, and should be tried and put to death!  I am SICK & TIRED of political correctness!!!!  WRONG IS WRONG IS WRONG and this man DID WRONG!  Let him pay the consequences for his actions!

Not only does Obama not know the difference . . .

. . . he doesn't even care.

 

Obama disses the military AGAIN

I am a former military member, my father gave the ulitimate sacrifice for this country and my husband serves proudly with tours in Iraq and Afghanastan.  Todays presser, when Obama chose to NOT lead with the tragic events at Ft Hood, all the while his guests laughed, applauded and whistled ... then when he began his remarks he said to the audience "you may know about ...." which says to me that they didn't care about our men and women in uniform and this president chose to continue his tin ear to our nation's bravest.  I am insulted and angered.

As for his mistake about the award is it anyone's surprise he can't say anything without a teleprompter. 

Just disgusted.

Prayer's go out to my military family at Ft Hood and all those effected around the world.

FMC......

... I saw/heard the same thing. I was appalled by the turd's blatant disregard for the sensitivity of the moment/situation.

He could have easily lead with the Ft. Hood news and then reverted back to his inane pandering; what's next? How will he try to undermine America/Americans next? He's done everything in his power to divide and conquer inside our own borders, it's scary as hell.

I don't think we'll ever be able to get the stench out of the White House.

Why Would He Diss A Brother Muslim?

Obama dissed the military because he secretly approves of the actions of his Islamic brother! The sickening part is the continuous butt kissing by these entry level Washington Press Cadets! They continue to allow this guy a free pass on just about everything!

This will continue...

...it is called "white guilt".

I read an article the other day about this...I'll try to find it and link to it. Very interesting read; seems to hit all the right notes and would explain exactly what we are seeing today with regards to reverse discrimination, reverse racism, etc.

FMC,

I saw that and was disguted myself.

I think it's pretty clear by now what Obama truly thinks of our soldiers.

It makes that photo-op from lat week look even more fake than even I thought it was.

-Dave

Our elected representatives have failed us.  

Same as Clinton

When they aren't serving as window dressing for a photo op, Obama doesn't give a damn about our service members. 

And what's worse, I think many service members are beginning to sense that. 

What a revealing moment

What a revealing moment illustrating Obama's complete lack of character. He couldn't even fake sincerity about the Ft. Hood slaughter. This guy has a heart of stone.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

2 minutes in

He didn't even mention the murders for two whole freakin minutes. It's over at American Thinker. MSM will never show it. I couldn't believe he kept talking, smiling.. going on and not even mentioning the murders. Happy, smiling, shout out and all. Then .. oh yeah, by the way.   What a low life piece of unspeakable tripe this flap-eared temp in the WH is. 

Class 0

Leadership 0

Liar 100 + 

 

"Tone Deaf"

I noticed the exact same thing TA. 

I watched his speech live, some of the nets cut into their regular programming to carry Obama's comments, and he acted indifferent for the first few minutes.  I was aghast at the level of insensitivity. 

If this was Bush, the term the MSM would of be using right now would be "tone deaf." 

He is a liberal, liberals

He is a liberal, liberals just assume the military is a sometimes necessary evil.  All other times its "No dogs or soldiers allowed on the Lawn."

THus we of the military caste expect to be treated as substandard and somewhat evil by this administration.

If this was a president that cared he would be in the air on his way to Killeen Intl to comfort the greiving families......

No doubt BD

To the Left, the military is just the unpleasant muscle for their foreign policy.

Welllll..... Sort of.  You

Welllll..... Sort of.  You must remember that the left prefers pointless diplomacy at all times.

THey prefer their military weak, supplicative, and dying in pointless, useless operations that do not support US interests in any way.

I bet if you REALLY get into it with a liberal, they will tell you the soldiers had it coming.

2 minutes in and counting

There is just something so disturbing when our CIC chooses to step up to the podium, look at the folks and give a shout out as the bottom of the FOX network is reporting dead and wounded and then you hear the folks applauding, again, knowing that many knew he was about to talk at SOME point and they laughed, applauded, it just made me angry.

Not that it will matter but tomorrow I am sending a certified letter to this lack luster CIC and will give him an earful I am just no longer patient, he can't decide on Afghanastan and then today's behavior, he has no concern for our military.

BUT, he will find a way to make the funeral a media event or the memorial, any bet takers out there.

Here's the link

At American Thinker.

It's worth a view, and worth a blog post here, too, so everyone can see it on the front page of NB.

I hope he fails, too.

Re Article

Very good, and here's another good one:

Hello Tipping Point: http://online.wsj.com

"On Jan. 20, Barack Obama began a race against time. The White House knew its liberal agenda would prove unpopular in many parts of the country represented by Democrats. So long as the president looked strong, those Blue Dogs and freshmen and swing-state senators would stick. Show them any sign of weakness, however, and rattled Dems would begin to care more about their own re-elections than they did their president. Tuesday, the White House hit that tipping point."

Let's hope this puts the fear of God into those blue dogs and our own RINOs. As for the Bamster, I can tolerate the golf and flyaway dates just fine as long as he does nothing else. By 2010 I expect no campaigning democratic will want to be anywhere near the idiot.

thanks, I was going to post that one...couldn't believe CHICAGO

(and an NBC affiliate at that!) would post such!

Maybe more are having their eyes opened every day...if not, they are totally 'tone deaf'

Of course, the White House Comment Line is open only Monday through Friday, 9 to 5...forget that Americans might like to be able to leave a message after normal working hours!!!  The president shows over and over again that he has absolutely NO concern or respect for the rest of the country!!!  So let's flood the comment line on Monday after 9 EST!

 

And tonight's winner is....

And another thing -- it's NOT Medal of Honor WINNER, like the hero just won an Olympic gold medal.

It is Medal of Honor RECIPIENT.

This guy... this guy -- uh, must bite tongue. But he is  just so "cerebral" Knows nothing, but very smart.

Obama thinks winning 52.7% of the vote gave him a mandate to turn America into a Euro-trash socialist state.  

Rookie mistake

C'mon Jack....lighten up.  Alinsky, Ayers and Wright never mentored Barry on such things. 

Right

Using their approach, as long as he says it longand often enough, he will be right.

What a delicious find,

What a delicious find, which I would normally have a blast with, with the exception of the fact that this much anticipated Address to the Nation regarding the deaths at Fort Hood by the msm was a disgrace, it was despicable what he did, all of it from the start.

It was one of the very rare days I was on Twitter because of the Rally on DC today and then this happened, so I stayed there for a long while, then this Address of his came on live and we all posted what we thought, for once I was glad where I happened to be today, because many felt as I did.

This empty cold shell of a man is deplorable, it was a disgrace what he did, the msm has edited the beginning of this when it was live to stick to the words he said regarding the deaths...which took him forever to get to msm wise, let alone class.

...and they dare ever make fun or light of Bush again...any that do better know where to stick it when it comes to Bush, WOT and his love, respect for the military..he protected us...others shed their blood to do so, and for the so-called Prez to do what he did today in my opinion was beneath contempt.

I will never forget either.

Just my two cents...thanks for the vent.

Obama to visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center tomorrow

Not a word about going to Walter Reed not ONE word it was all about going to the capital.  They may say it was planned but when the events of today happen, one just can't help but wonder about this guy's true intent for going.  I continue to be beyond angry.

Obama delays Capitol Hill pitch on health care (it is really about him NOW going to Walter Reed a military facility)

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is pushing back a trip to Capitol Hill aimed at discussing the proposed health care overhaul with lawmakers.

Obama had planned to head to the Capitol on Friday. Now the White House schedule shows Obama planning to visit the Capitol on Saturday.

On Friday afternoon, Obama plans to visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

White House officials say the trip to Walter Reed had been scheduled before the fatal shootings Thursday at Fort Hood in Texas. They insist that the visit to Walter Reed, Obama's first as president, is separate from the incident at Fort Hood.

FMC... That AP story is

FMC...

That AP story is just dandy....they report, we decide.

I've decided what a bunch of pure BS...and the msm will follow HIM everywhere, he is one very sick individual.

I'm past furious and had not better post any more regarding my contempt here.

Even Clinton had more brains than this...and that is saying alot when it comes to the spotlight... let alone using it for a distraction depending on the situation.

You just don't get any lower than what he has planned, none.

edit~Btw, before I close out for the night, the more I think about these sudden plans of his, it has got to do with the possible vote on Sat. regarding OCare and him going to the Hill tomorrow.

Anything for a distraction hoping cameras won't be on congress or anyone calling the switchboard for congress-critters....after-all Pelosi has decided not have the bill posted for 72 hrs like promised, they want all attention away from this, especially after what happened today on the Hill, the story disappeared...POOF...just like they plan on the next two days on the Hill and what goes on inside disappear, until Pelosi gets her votes...come hell or high water at all costs.

'Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea'~Breitbart

BT .... The AP headline says it all

You notice the big story was he was going to WRMC but the header just made the liberal reader think hmm, pushing off discussion on health care but wouldn't think to read it.

So, they get tomorrows calendar out there but not where he is going that is if you look at the header.

My husband, one of our finest, was dumbfounded by our CIC decision tomrrow.  To politicize our military, to gain something from it.  My husband commands troops, their morale is in the tank because while they are patriotic they are waiting for new orders.  Family member's are frustrated they do not know what to plan for, and some have said after watching today and the CICs remarks they are more disillusioned and NOW he goes to Walter Reed.  The only other time, the day before he took the oath for office.  The only other hospital he has gone to, Landstuhl and that was once as well.

Timing is everything, he isn't a leader.  His ego has and will continue to hurt this country and our security.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post, I appreciate it.

FMC... My gratitude is

FMC...

My gratitude is sent to you and your other half...and all of the military past and present.

Walks on Water is a disgrace...I pray We the People fight this evil in more ways than one....we must prevail here at home, and abroad...we must not ever let them defeat us, or this country is done, and as far as I'm concerned, we are sitting on a fine thread that is getting ready to break, one way or the other.

Only the strong survive...and we will.

Hope to catch you a lot in the future...enjoy your thoughts/posts very much.

Jesus Loves You so much He died for you

THat is correct.  After

THat is correct.  After all, the victims of this attack who are recovering in Darnell Army Hospital at Fort Hood shouldn't expect to see their commander in Chief while a bill on the public option needs "Campaignin" at the capital.

What a shallow political move.

Nice to hear on the news tonight that W & Laura visited the

wounded soldiers last night secretly.  He couldn't stay away from the military he loves and respects.  And then there are those who must take a camera crew to record every visit with the military, alive or dead!

What really gets me is they actually believe We the People

Just as his DISGRACEFUL bowing and apologizing to the world has angered us, his DISMISSAL of such a horrific attack on our military really hits home!!!!  I truly don't think he'll be able to overcome this latest, most egregious offense!!!  His disrespect for our military members is so obvious with every word spoken...and NO PHOTO OP will ever be able to remove the image of a cold calculating individual at such a tragic moment in history!

Now, may I give a well-deserved 'shout-out' and a most hearty THANK YOU to all of you posters who have served in our military forces.  You are the heartbeat of our country and I must express my appreciation to each and every one of you!

Maybe later on today the MSM will remind us of President Bush's "insensitivity" to the tragedy of the Chocolate City when Katrina went through?

They have to do something to downplay the Muslim thing after all.

Realistically I'm opting for "mentally disturbed individual".

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

Another Shot Against Beck?

Am I the only one who thought that the press conference was deliberately timed to start at the same time that Glenn Beck's program was scheduled to start? Obama frequently does the same thing with Limbaugh's show.

how pathetic to spend 2 minutes

rambling when the primary focus should have been this trajedy. such a cold hearted display of non-concern about our soldiers. he is a disgrace to the country and office. 2012 won't come quick enough for me.

BTW - Love the picture on NewsBusted beside us right now...I'll have to stop posting and check out what Jodie has to say.  My guess is that is just about as accurate a portrayal of 'the one' after the events of this week as one could find ;-)  Good for him...he deserves it 1000%

Oh, I almost forgot. After listening to those, oh so, heart warming and caring words spewed forth by our wonderful leader I felt so much better. Wow...what a warm and considerate man he is.

Home of the Brave

Thanks for the link to this excellent article which, for anyone interested, also includes pictures of Hasan in (GASP!) "full Islamic garb."

I just tweeted that little ninja Kim Munsley and said "Thanks for your bravery and excellent marksmanship."

Disgusted

I know that Hannity will bring up the lying fraud of a coward's lack of somberness UNTIL after the pre-ordained shout outs.

I can't put into words how much I detest this piece of shit, as a Veteran I am utterly disgusted with his demeanor and lack of any real feelings here.

The people were warned about him, but the media covered it up as best they could.

We will hear once this breaks that "Bush sat there in a  classroom while we were attacked", THAT WAS a spur of the moment deal (OBAMBI WAS PREPPED AND KNEW OF THE ATTACK) and Bush didn't want to freak out the kids, he could have handled it better, but TOTALY apples and oranges. 

"Bush did nothing when N/O was drowning", again he could have handled it better, but his mistake was TRUSTING the Democrats to do their jobs and how is N/O still doing YEARS after? 

The tornado belt deals with this all the time, they however GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT, but not these "folks".  They be Obambi people.  

A great man once said, YOU only get out of life what YOU put into it, he obviously wasn't a liberal.

The most disgraceful announcement in history

Obama’s tacks on his “concerns and sympathy” wrt the horrendous tragedy/outrage at Foot Hood at the end of the essentially silly and goofed up announcement about another truckload of multicultural BS.

This has to be without a doubt THE MOST DISGRACEFUL ANNOUNCEMENT of this kind in history.  I am absolutely sure nothing any other President has ever said comes within in a thousand miles of this for insincerity, callousness, and incandescent boorishness.  This would be inconceivable coming from a true citizen.  Maybe Obama considered the killing, done by a Muslim, was just another example of multiculturalism.

I don’t know why he didn’t just drop his draws and moon the entire nation.

Just one more item revealing Obama is a faux American.

So much for Obama's sublime vaunted eloquence.  What a load of garbage!

Insensitivivity

0Bama is either an insensitive creature, or he truly is a closet Muslim whose allegiance is no different than that piece of scum who killed and wounded others at Ft. Hood yesterday.  "Commander-in-Chief" ---- glad I am no longer part of the active duty military.  If so, I would resign my commission for the disgrace 0Bama continues to display toward the military.

my two cents

it is unexcusable for the commander-and-chief (I almost said "commander and chiefs" because of his location yesterday) to mix up a civilian and the ultimate military award - he is sounding disconnected - todays press conference was at best, bland.

Just so you know, none of the gathered chiefs at yesterdays meeting would have made the mistake of not honoring the fallen soldiers FIRST!  Culturally there is nothing more honored by the Native Peoples than warriors.  As a leader, O is an embarassment.

My best regards and condolences to the soldiers and their families, all Americans. 

O is an embarrassment

And that's being charitable.

I agree with you. We have

I agree with you. We have many Native Americans here, Passamaquoddy, Mic Mac, Penobscot, etc. Many have served with high honor and do indeed respect fallen warriors. One of my friends is a Penobscot who got both his knees blown out in Nam. He went on to become an electrical engineer and is a patriot from top to bottom. They would have respected Obama had he done the right thing at that meeting.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

And the clueless manchild rolls on with his collectivist dreams.

The Obamination continues to reveal itself for the disaster it portends. 

The Phone President

retspook

I would just like to make it clear.  This President give A rats A-- about the Military men and women.  He goes to Dover for a Photo shoot and that is all it was.  If he really cared no media would have been allowed.  hat salute he gave at Dover.  It is apparent he had been practicing for the Photo Op.  Just take a look at his record with the Military and you know he is so Phoney.  He makes me sick to just watch him and that is why every time he is not TV I change the channel or turn it off.  We need to get him out of the White as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

The Liberal Media is just as insensitive as their cardboard cutout President.  They should be thoroughly excoriated for how they have handled this whole affair, and especially for ignoring the President's deplorable preformance and attitude.

- Relying upon the State Run Media for your information is like relying upon an embezzler for your portfolio management.

- I didn't leave the Republican Party; the Republican Party left me.

I really like Gateway Pundit...I keep forgetting to post there, not enough time to go everywhere I like...at all!

Yep...it was infuriating, took along time for my anger/disgust to subside with what he did..went to bed about 1:30 and watched the Rally on DC...finally rested and slept well, with a smile toboot after listening to the great patriots that love this country.

Wow Carolina...

They must have scrubbed them, there were a few there when I read it and posted...and they weren't complimentary to Walks on Water, but no vulgarity, just the truth as far as I was concerned.

"Liberalism is just Communism sold by the drink."  P.J.O'Rourke

Idiot Democrats

The idiot in chief manages to disrespect our warriors and enrage many citizens with his uncaring attitude regarding the horror at Fort Hood, while at the same time Pelosi readies the House to shove a bill most Americans don't want down their throats.

The only good to come from all of this is the fact that (God forbid) should the American people decide to revolt against this travesty against the Constitution, many, if not most of the military will stand with the citizens after seeing just how much the cIC thinks of their wellbeing and sacrifices.

PS It would not surprise me in the least to hear (and not from the MSM) that GWB is at Hood visiting the troops as we speak.

It would also not surprise me a bit that he did this due to his love and respect for the troops, and without any fanfare or cameras.

bt & kw - you are both correct! Heard tonight that W & Laura

visited the wounded at Fort Hood (secretly) (NO cameras)!!!  Yes, George W. Bush made some decisions that weren't the best, but his love for America and for our military was never in question!  I thought the same as you two when I first heard about this atrocity...and tonight they confirmed it!  I guess their ranch is near the base.  The troops needed a class act to visit them and they got it!!!!  If it were me lying in the bed wounded, I could NOT look the current president in the eye after his tasteless, totally disrespectful acknowledgement of the murder of our servicemen & women.

This comment comes from a proud Tea Party attendee, otherwise designated by Homeland Security as a Domestic Right Wing Terrorist!  And now by our president as a 'swiftboater' - both titles I'll wear proudly!     It is no dishonor to be in a minority in the cause of liberty and virtue ~ Sam Adams

What a friggin'

What a friggin' idiot.

Yes, but our brave military must follow the Commander in Chief and salute his sorry a$$.

Glad I'm not in anymore.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

Re; I like this.

That is refreshing and very up to date, and with him it fits evry well.

Other than the obvious...

Other than the obvious... it's telling that the Commander in Chief referred to the medal incorrectly. It's the "Medal of Honor." Not Congressional.

Yeah, that is a pet peeve of

Yeah, that is a pet peeve of mine as well...

What's wrong with Obama?

Have you seen his dramatic wt loss and haggard appearance? As a Physician, to me that countenance indicates a terminal illness, or substance abuse. I'll bet he's on cocaine again, or his medical records show a chronic, systemic illness.

Maybe he's following in JFK's footsteps.

A small comment to you about the man-boy little o'

Hello nadadhimmi my user name is bearone and I agree with you but in today's society you know what J.F.K. would either be a Republican like Ronald Reagan, or a Libertarian. Nor anything like this "VILLAGE-IDIOT" is.

"What's wrong with Obama?"

In addition to what you covered, I'd say he's burning through two packs a day, if not more.

Maybe it's just the shock of finding out that he's not The One.

'Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea'~Breitbart

he's back on the blow?

Are you saying our President is back on the toot? He said he did it when he could afford it, i'm sure he can afford it now.

 Leave the gun, take the cannoli

A national disgrace! 

A national disgrace! 

Obama and talk about Ft. Hood

Don't understand why people are so upset about medal of honor, medal of freedom, from a president that was worried that he didn't have time to campaign in all 57 states.

 

Maybe next he can censor all those that are criticizing him because while he claims to be a constitutional law professor, it seems it doesn't have a clue that the constitution is something that he took an oath to uphold and defend.

 

But then again, why all the complaints about this man.  He is a lawyer. So he is only causing a problem when he speaks, or acts.   

Here's a "Shout Out" To Obama

Your Press Conference for the Ft Hood tragedy was a disgrace. Bush had such class and showed related with both the military and the public and could "connect". You my friend can only "connect" to your leftwing base of kooks, Maoists, socialists, anarchists, and anti-American freaks. 

Well we won't have any of it. Try to do as little damage as possible to my country until your term is up then take take your freak-show and go.

Commander in Chief?

The suit is empty.

The heart is empty.

The head is empty.

 

Re; Obama's lack of RESPECT for Ft. Hood massacre

  Hello,

         I am of mixed race, (1)-Partially white from my mothers side, and---(2)--Echota-Cherokee from my fathers side.  I am very Blessed from both worlds. I see this man as a "LOSER", because he knew exactly what would happen if he said anything to begin with about the shooting,  and that would be exactly how I and a whole lot of other people feel right now. It is time to perge "OUR" military of all muslims, and the sooner the better. His IDIOTIC homeland sec. does not want to classify this as a terrorist attack, and I do not know what would be one if this is not.  I see him giving out medals, and all this other crap as a sign as he is trying to deflate what has happened because he knew exactly how people would start to feel.  Now word comes around that he did not have "MR. Tel-Promter" and I guess that Rom-Emmanuel did not give him any notes, or anything like that.  That only means that the puppet-master was not around, and that is not good for the "GRASSHOPPER" you see. Because of his child like speaking. I am amazed at how the modern day media is so confused at how great he speaks. Can anybody tell me why they think he is so eloquent for? If he does not have a prepared speech loaded in his friend old "TELLY" he goes all over the place trying to make sense of his remarks. Please three more yrs. of this is going to be a total disaster. Can you please help us Lord Jesus---"AMERICA DID NOT DESERVE  THIS DID WE?"  MAY THE LORD OF THIS UNIVERSE HAVE MERCY ON AMERICA ONCE AGAIN.

 

 

                                           Thanks for your time,

Lack of Affect

It's descriptive of the subject incident and much of O's other inappropriate behavior.

Brace yourself then google on the words, Symptom Lack of Affect.  Scroll down a little.

Obama Lies about American Indian

Guess who was the US President who personally pinned the Medal of Freedom on Crow? Yup. Obama. I watched him do it in a ceremony. If you remember this was the ceremony in which Obama gave that same medal to that Irish mutt lady who wants the UN to prosecute GWB.

 Obama is a moron.

 

Got right

I can not think of anything that he has got right since taking office. No surprise here.

MSM

I first viewed the video of Hasan at the convenience store on CNN.com.  The reporter three times referred to the fact that he was wearing "traditional garb".  I'm sorry, it didn't look like traditional Army garb, or traditional Texas garb.  What it was was traditional Arab/Muslim garb, but the gutless MSM is afraid to offend the haters of freedom.  Say the words:  he was wearing traditional muslim garb.... he identifies himself as a palestinian... he called out for his prophet before he began shooting, as all the homicide bombers do.  Had his name been Joe Smith from Oklahoma, he would have been called a domestic terrorist.  His name is Nidal Hasan, and they find it necessary to bury the facts of his origins and beliefs.  Another terrorist act committed by a devout Muslim.  Just say it, and face it.  We have a problem.

tarunkjuyal ...

You said it and did so well.   Europe and the UK have taken this road and have quite a few years on us. It's like a trojan horse except we fool ourselves into believing it will be OK and have experience to tell us otherwise.

We invite what we are forced to embrace and once that happens we seal our fate.

This is a bad time to be in the military and I'm not so sure it will ever be a good time given the direction the country is headed.

 When Clinton was president I had similar feelings, now those sentiments pale in comparison to how I feel with Obama in charge of our fighting men and women.

We have a craven fool for a Commander in Chief and every day makes that fact just a little clearer.

Obama: ".......medal of

Obama: ".......medal of freedom?  Oh, medal of honor, medal of freedom, yea whatever, it doesn't matter.  Ol' Joe won an prize, way to go Joe.  Medals don't mean anything so I choose to not really pay attention to them.  Notice I'm not wearing a lapel pin."

0bama is a joke

First, he should have said that he had intended to discuss the DoI/Native American conference, but would postpone that speech until he discussed the events at Ft. Hood.

Second, "confusing" the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom is an insult to the Military, ESPECIALLY coming from the Commander in Chief.

To quote Peter Jennings, "I guess some people just are not up to the job of President".

Obama's expertise

Here's a guy who probably thinks Camp David is a military installation because of its name.

The difference betweeen winner and recipient

Please explain to that numbskull that there is a big difference between a "winner" and a "recicpient."

Everytime he opens his mouth or shows up with the camera crew, he dishonors the Presidency.

Commander-in-Doofus

Mitchell Red Cloud received the Medal of Honor in Korea.  I guess to the Kenyan all Indians look alike, anyway.  Medal of Honor/Medal of Freedom, what's the difference, right?

Disconnected from the World

Obama in his first address to Congress refered to the country that invented the automoblie as never abandoning the automoble.  I think he tought that he was ralling the Detroit Autoworks but he was not.  Of course the country  that inventeded the automoblile was Germany and while I am sure that the workers at the Benz factory feel kindly towards Mr. Obama it was a warning of things to come.  President Obama does not know when a man has not won the Medel of Honor because he does not care.  What has happened before is of no importance to him and he does not learn from te mistakes of others.
