WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama will attend a memorial service Tuesday honoring victims of the Ford Hood shootings, an attack he described as "all the more heartbreaking and all the more despicable" because it occurred on the nation's largest Army post.

"They are Americans of every race, faith and station. They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers," Obama said in his radio and Internet address Saturday, airing the weekend before Veterans Day.

can't wait until he gives 'em the "now let's not jump to any conclusion" line. That ought to get 'em going.

It's lose-lose for you, Baraqi.

I bet that is bullshit. Hindus? Nonbelievers? Who are they, Hussein? What Muslims stood to stop that rampage? I want their names, jackass.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
"
President Ronald Reagan

Yeah, dammit. But if Michelle goes with him they'll probably have a date night when the "thing" is over.

The shooter was a “Mo” and almost all the terrorism for the past thirty years has involved “Mo’s”. Get it? Got it? That’s what they do. Trust them if you’re retarded enough.
