He makes me puke! He lost me when he “gave a shout out” to some nincompoop.

[mylife]

Obama promises to get to the bottom of this.

Here is your first clue “Barack Hussien Obama/Malik Nidal Hassan”

[Never2baCrat]

You are SO right. Big Ears is a POS!

[blf1776]

My first thought was that he must not have been told about the shooting. It sure was not the first thing on his mind.

[Gator113]

Perhaps it took some time for someone to enter what he needed to say into the TelePrompTer.

Obama is a waste of human-like flesh.

[doug from upland]

I don’t think the guy was a nincompoop who got the shout out. He may have been a Codetalker.

[Las Vegas Ron]

There are no words to describe my contempt for this man, his tsars, and the dem Congress....GGRRRRR

YouTube is screening the comments before publishing, they're letting some pretty rough ones go up though, I'm surprised

For comparison Sarasota, Fla., Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001 before the attacks spread to Washington:

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a difficult moment for America. I unfortunately will be going back to Washington after my remarks. Secretary Rod Paige and the lieutenant governor will take the podium and discuss education.

I do want to thank the folks here at the Booker Elementary School for their hospitality.

Today we’ve had a national tragedy. Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country. I have spoken to the vice president, to the governor of New York, to the director of the FBI, and I’ve ordered that the full resources of the federal government go to help the victims and their families and to conduct a full-scale investigation to hunt down and to find those folks who committed this act.

Terrorism against our nation will not stand.

And now if you join me in a moment of silence.

May God bless the victims, their families and America. Thank you very much.”

Thanks for posting. I was about to go looking for it.

This man-child is pathetic!

[blf1776]

This needs a big BARF alert!!!! zero makes me sick, this is the worst thing I have seen him do.

It seems to me, he had plenty of time to sort his information and align his priorities as he took to the stage

That is the question. It takes time for the speechwriters to craft something and for the teleprompter to be loaded. The teleprompter can't extemporize. It would be unfair to expect it to. Even a Nobel prize winning teleprompter isn't that good.

[TexasCajun]

I saw it live today and was wondering why he wasn't saying anything about the tragedy.

I just watched it again and that was the longest 2:24 seconds in history.

[TexasCajun]

Obamah just showed to the world that the US Military and their familes are not his priotity!

The fallen and wounded soldiers can wait. ...wait for Obamah to give his 'Shout Out'.

[mlizzy]

His voice and demeanor were totally devoid of any emotion. He might as well have been reading out of the phone book. Very strange reaction from the president when a MASSACRE of our troops has just occurred on an American military base. Very troubling...

He reminded me of The Stepford Wives. Very creepy ... no emotion whatsoever ... I agree with you ...

[mlizzy]

I do not know how to save a video ... is someone copying this in the event it goes poof?

[Shqipo]

5:03 pm.... The gravity of this event was not unfolding, it was known, and he doesn't register it as we do: immediate fury, sorrow, and disgust. No, to the CIC, it is secondary to patting the backs of those involved in some meaningless powwow. Word beyond me.

WHY DID BOY ZERO SALUTE THE DEAD A WEEK AGO?

[April Lexington]

Hey, I wish you had put the warning first before I read the damn thing... Am I a Muslim now????
