An unnamed White House official released this statement on the shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C.:

"The President has been briefed several times about the unfolding situation at the Washington Navy Yard by Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco and Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromanaco. The President directed his team to stay in touch with our federal partners, including the Navy and FBI, as well as the local officials. We urge citizens to listen to the authorities and follow directions from the first responders on site."

Since we’re all so STOOOOPID out here our first reaction is to blow off directions from a bunch of police currently engaged in searching for an armed maniac on our block.

What a tool this POTUS is!

I hear ya....only it’s a little bit more difficult to pin the right wing on him iff’n he’s Holder’s People....

My guess is he’s an employee with a beef about getting RIF’d or something.

Couldn't help but chuckle at that Mr. Obvious statement.

Media will do anything, say anything to make Obama look presidential.

If U.S. Persons listened to the authorities after the Boston marathon bombing, the Tsarnaev brothers would still be on the loose.

It was a citizen who defied orders and went outside to smoke a cigarette who discovered one of the sh-theads hiding place.

This can’t be true. Surely the Washington DC Navy Yard is a gun free zone!

"Listen to the authorities."

Yes, some citizens did not understand that they would be threatened with being shot by the police just for looking out of their window at the Nazi-like Boston police recently.

And another report says there are 3 shooters.

I really don’t put much faith in initial reports. They are usually wrong.

Of course, these days, I’m not sure any media outlet ever tells us the whole story about anything. Plenty of omissions, lies and half truths.

...that IS worth a chuckle! The only “directions” the moron gives is “shhh, I’m putting”.

From the descriptions coming out about the suspected shooter, there’s a 95% chance he did NOT support Romney.

From recent world events I would feel safer under the control of Putin than the weasel in our White House today.
