Video- Comparing Bush v. Obama on reaction to shooting massacres
Washington Times-Water Cooler ^ | 11/6/09 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 11/06/2009 12:09:40 PM PST by paltz

Much is being said about President Obama's odd initial reaction to the shooting at Fort Hood. The president gave priority to giving a shout-out before commenting on the massacre. Perhaps he should have taken a cue from President Bush. Mr. Bush's statement after the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 was dignified, presidential, and centered solely around the issue of the shooting a the school. Unfortunately, Mr. Obama's lack of empathy and self-centered nature ruled the day, as he felt the need to give thanks to federal employees and give an odd "shout out" before he even addressed the shooting itself. Compare both presidential statements in the two videos below.

Raila Odinga's favorite cousin gave a chipper "shout out" to his buddies prior to addressing the murder of innocent, unarmed people.

Probably one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in my life.

But then again, this is a anti-American narcissist's behavior that we are witnessing.

No. Not we. The handout generation gave us this so called President. I wouldn't wipe my rear-end with anyone in this administration.

Words fail me. At least, words that I can say here without being investigated by Obamao’s henchmen.

I think the technical description of BO’s performance would include the phrase, “shuck and jive.”

Our Dear Reader is only interested in something if it’s about him. If whatever the problem is not, he will merely go through the motions.

I vehemently disagreed with President Bush on several matters, but say what you will, he and Laura are a class act - unlike the ticky-tacky buffoons that we’re saddled with now. I don’t know who I’m madder at - the Bamster or the stupid people who voted for him.

This is devastating for Obama - and he doesn’t even realize it!

This country is being run by rank amateurs.

O sure never studied Clinton. He was a master at empathy,
unfortunately he never meant any of it, but it looked good.

I doubt Allah had nothing to do with it but I’ll bet that antidepressant drugs did. Mix them with a left-wing political mind set and you have a powder keg waiting to go off.

This is only devastating to 0bama in our eyes. For the ignoramuses who elected him, there’s nothing wrong with it. They are too stupid and insensate to be offended.

Obama is, in the words of one of his homies, an a-hole.
