Obama's saluting form before all that practice for the Dover PHOTO OP. He IS saluting, OK? And that is how he was doing it.
I was so STUNNED when i saw this. I couldn’t believe how he just chattered away and received applause, yadda yadda yadda, THEN, with NO emotion in his voice, announced the murders at Ft Hood, as if he were talking about an episode on a TV Show!
And then I remembered how President Bush would address the American people in times of sadness or crisis.
However one may have felt about him, he loved our troops!
Had the shooter targeted late-term abortion providers rather than US Soldiers, you can bet that a strong condemnation of the shootings and a call for sympathy and prayers for the surviving families would have been the first items out of his mouth.
