Our Clueless Commander in Chief

Twelve soldiers were murdered in cold blood at Fort Hood, Texas. Thirty others were wounded. Our Commander in Chief calls a press conference and begins it with a long thanks to the Department of the Interior and Native Americans who just concluded a conference and then gives a good natured ''shout out'' to an attendee , all with a studied nonchalance, before he even mentions the outrage on our military base.

Linda Chavez calls it, "Obama's pet goat moment."

His Priorities are Showing: Obama thanks Indians, gives them billions and then gives murdered Ft. Hood soldiers a routine, sorry-about-that.

Who is more clueless, obama? or the people that voted for him?

[Travis McGee]

“Muslim terrorism? Why, there is no such thing. Islam is a religion of peace.”

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I can almost guarantee my husband’s left ‘nad that we will hear: “But Bush read a book to a classroom.”

[LibFreeUSA]

Sorry, I was pretty much out yesterday. Did ZERO actually call the press conference on account of the Ft. Hood shootings? - and started it off about something else?

[fhayek]

Who is more clueless, obama? or the people that voted for him?

The voters. Its one thing to be clueless. It quite another to be clueless about the clueless.

[Former Proud Canadian]

I didn’t see the tape until today. Unbelievable.

[1776 Reborn]

O will blame his press handlers for this too.

"I can almost guarantee my husband’s left ‘nad that we will hear: “But Bush read a book to a classroom."

I hope for your husbands sake we do...

OUCH!

[Hacklehead]

Not Clueless, Heartless.

...he'll plan a beer summit.
Issue Presidential orders in reference to a “learning moment” and require all military personal to be extra careful no to offend “others” in regards to religious beliefs

Linda Chavez calls it, "Obama's pet goat moment."

It's only a "pet goat" moment is the MSM declares it to be one. And they ain't gonna.

I mentioned this to a Liberal and they were shocked. "What? You're going to make a big deal out of that?? This is nothing! Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill? Your Republicans just hate this guy, don't you??"

Dan Quayle and the potato? A crime against humanity.
George Allen and "macaca"? A crime against humanity.
George Bush and "Mission Accomplished"? A crime against humanity.
George Bush and "My Pet Goat"? A crime against humanity.

Different rules for different folks.

Yep. I saw the video.

The nation was glued to the TV set to hear from the POTUS re. a massacre at Ft. Hood TX. Our illustrious leader started off his speech in a jovial matter (reminiscent of Biden’s “stand up Chuck). Midway through the speech he talks of the shooting at the base. It was very dissapointing especially coming from the so-called CIC. One could get the impression that he doesn’t give a rat’s rear end about our troops.

[Ann Archy]

He’s not clueless....he’s leaving clues all over the place as to what is important to him.

[eeevil conservative]

Obama:

“ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME”

oh yeah... LOOK AT ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

this is hard for ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

[al baby]

As in blow everything to peaces

[rep-always]

Yes he did and for the first two minutes was thanking and giving “shout outs” to a bunch of people before he even began to talk about the “murdered troops”. Then when he finally began to talk about the Fort Hood massacre, he did it from notes on the podium. He couldn’t even speak from the heart because he doesn’t have one.

[joe fonebone]

he came on the tv, and i turned up the volume to hear what he had to say.......withing 5 seconds i was screaming at the tv...this guy is a piece of work, and is NOT my president..who the hell does this guy think he is???? my wife has not heard me scream at the tv like that before ( i even scared myself )

[SES1066]

An additional piece of Presidential stupidity was this inclusion in the speech; "I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner." The problem for the President is that this person, Joe Medicine Crow, while honored with the "Congressional Gold Medal" and the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" (both the highest civilian awards of the United States) was not a Medal of Honor recipient (military award). Since he was the one who awarded Dr. Joe Medicine Crow the Presidential Medal of Freedom this past August 12th, it appears that the TOTUS malfunctioned again.

Any guesses as to what kind of media reaction there would have been if it were "W" that had made this misidentification?
