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

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.

He should have never mixed the two events.

He did, and watch his video closely just after the shout it. It is a closed fist and doesn’t match what he is saying about an open process?

Something even more evil is coming our way. Watch his mannerisms as he speaks before getting around to the Ft. Hood matter.

Have you all seen this? The gentleman that BHO gave a shout-out to is not a MOH recipient, he is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, presented to him by none other than BHO. Unbelievable.

Obama Gives Shout Out to 'Congressional Medal of Honor Winner' Who Isn't

BHO Medal of Freedom Recipients

It is even worse than that- it appears it was written into the middle of his Indian remarks. There is nothing wrong with reading remarks. Just don’t wedge something important into the middle of remarks like this- it shows a lack of human feeling. If one has to tell people to have feeling or act human, you know there is a MAJOR problem. It’s as if he is a sociopath.

With Obama it is all about him all of the time! Unfortunately the Dems don’t want us to focus on terrorism or else we might figure out how in danger with are with them at the wheel!
