I am watching the Fort Hood Memorial and a very small but vocal group of people are CHEERING the president & first lady (Not polite applause... CHEERING ALOUD) .... What in the hell is there to cheer about at the site of this terrorist massacre?

It is close enough to Austin that some of our fruit loops probably drove over.

The Won!, the Object of their worship, has come down from the heavens to bless them.

This just shows how civilization is stepping backwards. People today just don’t know how to act.

Oh hell, I know a few from here in Dallas that would have loved to see Obama and cheer him, even at a memorial service! Puke!

I don’t understand either. Is proper decorum a thing of the past? You’d think the military would know better. Maybe I’m just getting too old. I grew up in a much different world.

"Did the 0 astroturf this event?"

I'd bet on it. A grieving, somber and quiet all-military crowd would make for horrible television for the patron saint of propaganda. Hopefully, the story will emerge if there was a vip or reserved section that access was controlled by the White House.

Yeah, that disgusted me, too. Obama supporters can’t tell the difference between rock concerts and a funeral. It was like they wanted to be as vulgar as possible to show their lust for Manchild. Gross. Everything he touche, he spoils. And that phony somber expression. Bleah.

There were many in the military and their dependents who voted for Obama.

Many were probably at the memorial.

The President is still the Commander in Chief and with his appearance many will see him as an anchor in this time of stress.

Not making an excuse - just an explanation.

Welcome to FR. I guess you don’t know much about military etiquette.

“Yeah, like those people cheering the guy with the bullhorn on the pile of rubble in NYC several years ago.”

So did B Hussein say that the War on Terror is still on and we need to root out all Islamic Fascist Terrorists??

Don't you dare compare this formal memorial service to a morale boosting visit to a battlefield by the CIC.

I can only hope that those close to these insensitive idiots gave them the evil eye. I can only hope that there was a reaction.

Who does these days? You’ve got people hiring Russian born lawyers to get out deployment and another shooting up the joint.
