Critics say that the tone and brevity of Obama's remarks on Fort Hood 'did not appreciate the gravity of what he represents' while others say he had the right presidential instincts.
As the U.S. military and law enforcement were scrambling to save lives after a deadly shooting rampage at Ft. Hood, Texas, President Obama opened his remarks Thursday with a two-minute "shout out" to audience members who attended the Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Interior Department.
Obama's initial comments on the shooting that killed 13 and wounded scores of others came at the conclusion of Thursday's conference, which was attended by leaders from several of the 564 federally recognized American Indian tribes.
"I planned to make some broader remarks," he told the crowd. "But as some of you might have heard there has been a tragic shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas."
The president's words on the deadly rampage came two minutes after he gave a "shout out" to an audience member and stressed the need to pass health care reform.
"I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It’s good to see you," he said.

What is left to be said about this nitwit.
Bob Beckel may be the biggest POS in America. I can’t stand that guy. People like him are what is wrong with this country. He’s the definition of party before country.
Obviously, the Ft Hood terrorist attack was perpetrated by a muslim extremist. He expressed admiration of suicide bombers. He enacted what was attempted at Ft Dix previously.
my post from an earlier thread:
....a narccistic’s priorities are different from others.
we each teach and demonstrate what we are/are not.
Yeah, well. He won.
Kruathammer just nailed this clown good on FOX
That’s as long as Bush sat and waited in the class room after her was told about 9/11. And O had known for a long longer. Paging Micheal Moore!
Truthfully, O was disappointed that his muslim brother had been killed. But he’s happy now that he found out the guy is still breathing.
“But as you may have heard.....”
How cuffing tone-deaf IS this person? He couldn’t strike the right note if it kicked him the gluteus maximus hard enough to make his nose bleed.
Just too cool, lookin’ good in the ‘hood.
Anyone with half a brain would have separated the Tribal recognition thing from the comments on Fort Hood. By combining them, this immature half wit affirmative action clown besmirched the Native American ceremony and defiled our military. Obama and his Communist handlers, Axelrod and Emanuel are beyond the Pale. This clown show must be driven from the White House before the nation is destroyed...
Trash is trash no matter how it is packaged. And Obama is pure trash.

In addition to his shout out, didn’t he also mention the support from the AARP and AMA for the health disaster bill BEFORE saying anything about the tragedy at Fort Hood? He’s on tv EVERY day so I could be mistaken. I swear, I’m home most days with the tv tuned to Fox and he is on there at least ONCE a day. I have to get up and change the channel.
The Party before Country defination can be applied to the CINC also...
That is what is grossly wrong with him as the President and Pundits for the Left won’t remove their nose from Obama’s butt long enough to actually digest the truth in the issue.
Obama is he most polarizing political figure ever to sit in the Oval Office.
The goal obviously as Jeramiah Wright once pronounced from the pulpit...no no no Obama, not God Bless America, God Damn America.....
Obama is doing everything in his power to see Mr. Wrights sermon through.
What do you expect from a ‘post gracial’ President?
He only says what is written for him, that is his comfort zone. Unless he’s acknowledging other liberals, then he shows emotion.
Coming up with a comment on his own that is emotional is not his style and he doesn’t do it well.
You said it much nicer than what I’m feeling about now. Why didn’t he just spit in the faces of the dead, wounded and their families.
