This Sunday marks three days since an Islamist gunman opened fire Thursday on military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing five unarmed servicemen and wounding a policeman.
President Barack Obama still has not ordered the lowering of the U.S. flag to half-staff at the White House and federal properties as a sign of respect and mourning for those killed, even though he (and former President George W. Bush) did so for previous mass killings by lone gunmen.
In contrast it was only a matter of hours after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage last month before Obama bathed the White House in the rainbow hues of the LGBTQ movement.
Also, Obama issued same-day orders lowering the flag following the the July 20, 2012 Aurora, Colorado mass shooting, December 14, 2012 Sandy Hook, Connecticut mass shooting and the September 16, 2013 Washington Navy Yard mass shooting.
Obama ordered the flag flown at half-staff the day after the November 5, 2009 Fort Hood, Texas massacre.
President George W. Bush ordered the flag lowered for the April 16, 2007 Virginia Tech massacre the day after that attack.
Obama apparently did not order flags lowered following the Charleston mass shooting last month, however he went to Charleston and delivered the eulogy at the funeral for the Reverend Clementa Pinckney. Several state governors did issue orders to lower flags in their respective states to honor the Charleston victims.
Obama’s selectivity on whether to honor victims of terror attacks or mass shootings was in evidence in May when Obama made no public or written statement on the Islamist terror attack in Garland, Texas.
Obama vacationed in New York City this weekend. Meanwhile several state governors took steps to arm National Guard troops under their command and issued proclamations ordering flags in their respective states...

After the election I’ll have more ......
He’s basking in his Iran deal.. Don’t bother him.
Boehner and McCONNELL SHOULD RESIGN.. THE SCROTUS Sshould disban.
all is quiet around the globe..
THE STEMP METER IS AT ZERO.
At the very same time the media ignores this, and continues to attack Trump for disrespect to the military.
Obama could care less , he’s way to busy trying to destroy the US for flags
then maybe he’ll order it for the dead Muslim...
He’s not going to. He hates this country and is using his last year in office to show us the intensity of his hate.
Those lives don’t matter.
Anyone but me notice the ongoing silence from the GOP?
And of course US flags were at half-staff for about a month for Mandela's death.
Too busy fundraising and stuff.
This is the true man behind the potus and liberals must be very proud.
Flags... hell, he hosted an Eid-al-Fatr (end of Ramadan) celebratory dinner the same (or following) night.
He’s so sure of himself now he doesn’t give a flying F about appearances. I remember when he first came into office and was a bit unsure—as the financial crisis of 2008-9 was unfolding, he said, “Judge me by the appointments I make” and gave Volcker and Summers positions in the Administration. Fast forward several months, and he was confident enough to nominate Van Jones for a position. Now, with all elections behind him, he doesn’t care what we think.
If you are holding your breath until he makes that order, it’s ok...
You will just pass out and then start breathing normally again.
For the same reason he didn’t send anyone from his fetid “administration” to their funerals or to the funeral of Kate Steinle. He only cares about the funerals of hoodrat thugs.
Nor order that they be awarded the Purple Heart Medal.
What did you expect from that Muslim homo POS?
We lower the flag to half-mast for too many things already. We should raise it proudly and fly it on the rubble of every mosque in America after they’ve been razed. It should fly over the execution of every enemy combatant and fifth columnist that is found on our soil, and that means every one who is, or was, ISIS, CAIR, and any of the other muzzie bro’hood front organizations.
He’s doing whatever he wants now. He’ll probably stop wearing that america flag pin again soon.
Remember how he couldn’t get away with that 6 years ago?
He can now.
Don’t hold your breath, they are all military and white.
