Incredibly, it appears that Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan, the alleged shooter in the massacre that resulted in at least 12 dead and 31 wounded at Fort Hood today, served on the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force between April 2008 and January 2009 when Barack Obama was inaugurated as the nation’s 44th president.

The fact that such a sick SOB could have been within arms distance of the POTUS scares me. Don’t they background these people!??!?!??!

Sadly, I'm a bit fatalistic. The larger the population, the more involved the laws, the more distant the legislators become, and the less representative the government. It almost seems like a statistical law. Who remains to take the oath of selflessness (if there ever was such) seriously, and who to check on the candidates?

This SOB was a Obama enabler. Obama had nothing to fear.
