Obama Used Fort Hood Massacre of Soldiers To Lobby House Health Care Vote
AP Report ^ | November 07th, 2009

Posted on 11/07/2009 7:16:30 PM PST by Steelfish

Excerpt from AP Report:

Participants also said Obama had referred to this week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in which 13 people were killed. His remarks put in perspective that the hardships soldiers endure for the country are "what sacrifice really is," as opposed to "casting a vote that might lose an election for you," said Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J.

Oh, I am sooooo angry. Can they not see through this? After getting his shout-out taken care of, the deaths at Ft Hood were almost an Oh, by the way.

Then he has the balls to use them, their bodies stil warm as a political vote getter?

He is despicable.

Obama is a POS and everything is always about him. He makes me want to PUKE!

I wonder why Obama hasn’t decided on more troops to win a war? It must be he is afraid of losing support from the lunatic fringe! Hypocrite!

13 people were killed by political correctness, so a few Congressmen should be willing to risk their seats to advance the cause of Communism? Never let a good crisis go to waste, right?

When can we dissolve this nation so maybe part of it can survive the stupidity?

He urged them to “answer the call of history”..... Sounds like he is more concerned with his legacy than Bill Clinton was.

I am absolutely convinced that Obama’s goal is to push this country so far down the socialist road that it will be impossible to restore America once this toolbag is gone.

I gotta calm down or every other post on this thread will be mine.

The few stories I have read have mentioned the anger felt by some of the families. I wonder how they would feel knowing he was whoring out the murder of the loved ones they are grieving for right now.

And he is going to attend the Memorial Service?

If I was a family member, I would send my regrets and put out a very public statement. If Obama attends, my family will not.

This sickens and enrages me to no end. It’s one thing to spit on the bodies of our men and women in uniform (all I expect from the left now days) but it’s another to use their bodes as a blood flag to rally support for his social agenda, and by proxy, his popularity.

Truly sick and disgusting and beyond they pale even for an America hating democrat. It’s clear those deaths mean nothing to him other than how he can spin those deaths into political capital. I have no respect for that man.

For Obama, it's ALL about him and his sick marxist legacy.


OBAMA IS A MARXIST IDEOLOGUE

But come 2010, and then particularly in 2012, he is going to find out differently. There's a political tsunami brewing that is going to sweep him and his ilk away.

My soldier was not too far from the attack. (As were hundreds of others.) Thankfully he was unhurt.

I can’t speak for the families of the fallen; but, as a Ft. Hood Army Wife I say that this stinks on ice.

I’ve never been as... personally offended... as I am with this man’s remarks. Damn insulting.

One of the guys quoted is 83 and been in office since 1955 when he took over from his father. That alone says our system is severly broken. EVERY seat in the House is up next year. Get rid of them ALL!

They haven’t even been buried yet and he is using them to get what he wants?

obama has absolutely no scruples, no class, and is utterly demeaning the office of the President. I'd tell you want I really think of him but there might be children reading this and the moderators would have to pull it. obama is without a doubt the worst President our great Country has ever been saddled with. He is a failure, and a poor excuse for a human being.

obama has NO SHAME ping

I am angrier about this now than I was last night and I was angry last night.

Put this in the context of:
1. No decision on Afghanistan
2. Using the return of the fallen at Dover as a Photo-op
3. Giving shout-outs instead of asking for a moment of silence
4. Going to Camp David instead of visiting Fort Hood (showing the same class as President and Mrs. Bush—no cameras)

He might as well have spit on their graves (which probably have not been dug yet.)

I am SO relieved to hear your soldier is safe. He/she lives to fight another day. God bless you and yours for your sacrifice.

My son is going into seminary next fall. He plans to spend some time as a chaplin during his priesthood. May God protect your soldier, and all soldiers in battle.

This crap has GOT to stop, using soldiers as photo ops and their deaths and wounds as cause for partisan bills. I want to say things that God would be very upset about...and we need a prayer thread. Seriously.

It was reported that President Bush and Laura Bush have already met with the wounded soldiers. Has 0bama met with them yet? Did he leave his little native American pow wow to go to Ft. Hood? umm, Couldn’t be bothered. Had to get back to DC to twist arms for his totalitarian health care. He didn’t even make arrangements to attend any of the commemorations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. One of the most significant events of the 20th century. I guess the Cold War wasn’t that big a deal anyway, huh, 0bambi? The freeing of millions of people from 40 years of Soviet slavery in Eastern Europe wasn’t anything, really.
