At the time of the Ft. Hood shooting, my husband was working on post, about a block from the confirmed shooting. The phone lines were immediately overwhelmed and I couldn't get through.

The initial reports were insane. They said that two shooters were walking through housing, shooting women and children. Reports were coming in that the local schools were under attack. Basically, every hearsay and speculation was given credence in national news and nobody knew what was really going on.

So I was driving to the school to collect my two kids, not knowing if my husband was dead or alive when I hear our fearless leader come on the air.

At first, I was embarrassed for him. I thought that he hadn't been informed. There was NO WAY that he'd be so insensitive to put out a 'shout out' with a smile, if he'd known.

But no. He freaking KNEW.

About a week later I developed a hatred for the supporters who showed up for the memorial just to bolster their messiah. After his speech, they just got up and left, as a group. With widows and children bawling over photos and boots, they didn't give the slightest care.

THIS is who this man is. THIS is why I despise him.

Remember a leaser leads. A parasite just uses anything for an opportunity to foster hatred, division and strife. oBAmODORK IS NO LEADER
