WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama will attend a memorial service Tuesday honoring victims of the Ford Hood shootings, an attack he described as "all the more heartbreaking and all the more despicable" because it occurred on the nation's largest Army post.

He praised those who ended the shootings, which killed 13 and wounded 30 others, and lauded the armed services' diversity—a move designed to calm tensions about the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

"They are Americans of every race, faith and station. They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers," Obama said in his radio and Internet address Saturday, airing the weekend before Veterans Day.

...a move designed to calm tensions about the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

I don't think it worked.

[cripplecreek]

Don’t bother Obozo. They’ll be fine without you.

[john in springfield]

Wow! Was his golf game canceled?

[Clintons Are White Trash]

A little to the party there O, GWB and Laura went to the hospital and visited the wounded yesterday without notifying the press.

[madison10]

So President Shout-Out is going to get his butt in gear after President GW Bush went to visit. Too late.

[freekitty]

Makes me sick at heart to know that this monster will be there.

[cblue55]

The MSM will gladly help the A$$hat get another photo op. Somebody please wake me up from this nightmare we call the president.

[the invisib1e hand]

can't wait until he gives 'em the "now let's not jump to any conclusion" line. That ought to get 'em going.

It's lose-lose for you, Baraqi.

[blueyon]

So how many camera men is he bring...................

guess Ex Pres Bush had to show Bambie. by his actions what a president is supposed to do.................

[WellyP]

Obama will get a polite but COLD reception at Hood!

[Dixie Yooper]

Is he giving “shout-outs” to the survivors?

[Recovering_Democrat]

"They are Americans of every race, faith and station. They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers," Obama said in his radio and Internet address Saturday, airing the weekend before Veterans Day.

I bet that is bullshit. Hindus? Nonbelievers? Who are they, Hussein? What Muslims stood to stop that rampage? I want their names, jackass.

[BlessedBeGod]

No no no no no no no no no! Keep him away!

[LeonardFMason]

He finally had time to line-up 100 cameras for the photo op.

We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,

[FlyingEagle]

Thank You Resident Ojihad you can shutup now.

[uncitizen]

Was his golf game canceled?

Yeah, dammit. But if Michelle goes with him they'll probably have a date night when the "thing" is over.

[mathurine]

The shooter was a “Mo” and almost all the terrorism for the past thirty years has involved “Mo’s”. Get it? Got it? That’s what they do. Trust them if you’re retarded enough.

[joesjane]

He doesn’t belong their the real CIC and his wife already visited FT Hood.

[bray]

They are Americans of every race, faith and station. They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers,"

Which one is always massacring innocents?

Pray for America and Ft Hood

[Canedawg]

Polite enough?

[proudofthesouth]

The title on this needs a barf alert!

It makes me sick, sick, sick that this POS is going to Ft. Hood!

[awestk]

oh boy.

[NorwegianViking]

I hope he doesn’t speak......abombinations will spew forth.

[NorwegianViking]

I hope he doesn’t speak......abombinations will spew forth.

[red irish]

President Bush and first lady Laura Bush have already visited those in the hospital hurt doing the shooting! So where was Obama?

[VR-21]

I would add BO’s presence there to the list of crimes against the fallen.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Oh bleahhh, puke. Stay away, stupid poseur - just looking for a photo-op to show he really, really cares. BS. Some advisor or another is probably dragging him kicking and screaming to it.

 

 

[proudofthesouth]

I need to lower my blood pressure and every time I read about, see his face, or hear his voice it shoots skyward!

[tobyhill]

Maybe Obama can explain to the victim's families how this terrorist was promoted to Major?
Maybe Obama can explain to the victim's families how this terrorist became an adviser on Homeland Security?

“They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers,”

But apparently it’s only the Muslims who feel it’s necessary to murder their fellow soldiers. As they do to Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, and fellow Muslims.

[Cvengr]

Due to his inaction over the past 48 hrs and incompetence in his position in the chain of command, if he seeks to telegraph empathy, I would feel more secure if he remained completely out of the decision making process and left the military operations to the professionals seeking to obey the legitimate authority of our Constitution.

[dmd25]

can't wait until he gives 'em the "now let's not jump to any conclusion" line. That ought to get 'em going.

Ooooh. Can you imagine? That would be something to see. I feel so sorry for the people attending that service who are truly in mourning. They have to be there with the great pretender. I would feel very cheated.

[Windcatcher]

Don’t torture yourself. Whenever he appears, I always either press MUTE or change the channel.

[MaxMax]

There were 14 killed, they won’t mention the unborn baby.

President Barack Obama will attend a memorial service Tuesday honoring victims of the Ford Hood shootings, an attack he described as "all the more heartbreaking and all the more despicable" because it occurred on the nation's largest Army post.

So if it would have happened on another base it wouldn't have been as bad?

WTF is this guy taking about?

[Shqipo]

>>>They are Americans of every race, faith and station. They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers,”<<<

—What, no transgenders? What a bunch of PC crap!

[Josa]

If I had a family member killed by this monster, I would tell the military that they had to choose between me and barry. I would REFUSE to be a part of the event if barry was going to be there.

[MaxMax]

Don't worry he doesn't actually speak, he just reads the prompter out loud.

[bigbob]

that’s damned ##### of him

[garyhope]

This is an insult to every patriotic American and member of our military to allow this treasonous, worthless, cowardly POS to attend.

When will the country and the leftist “progressives” undertand the threat from Islam? The Muslims want us and Western civilization dead. What part of that do they not understand?

[proudofthesouth]

I didn't think that could disrespect/dislike anyone more than Hitlery and The Rapist Clintoon but OZero has entered a whole new realm of that in my book.

As a Christian I'm supposed to pray for my enemies and love them like I love myself but is so damn difficult to do it with him.

[jimbo123]

[uncbob]

Of course he is going

They have been preparing the teleprompter the last several days —Probably running it by focus groups

[El Gato]

You forgot the

Projectile Barf Alert!

[Volunteer]

"He finally had time to line-up 100 cameras for the photo op."

My thoughts exactly.

[cripplecreek]

He’ll probably bring in his own soldiers to make sure his photo op shows a diverse enough group of wounded.

[pandoraou812]

Hmm & afterword is he going to go over & visit that terrorist in ICU? Shaking my head & praying for all the victims.

[TexasFreeper2009]

maybe he can give a few more shouts outs during the memorial!

grrrrrrrrr........
