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.
He praised those who ended the shootings, which killed 13 and wounded 30 others, and lauded the armed services' diversitya move designed to calm tensions about the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
"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.

Oh bleahhh, puke. Stay away, stupid poseur - just looking for a photo-op to show he really, really cares. BS. Some advisor or another is probably dragging him kicking and screaming to it.

Maybe Obama can explain to the victim's families how this terrorist was promoted to Major?
Maybe Obama can explain to the victim's families how this terrorist became an adviser on Homeland Security?

“They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers,”
But apparently it’s only the Muslims who feel it’s necessary to murder their fellow soldiers. As they do to Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, and fellow Muslims.

Due to his inaction over the past 48 hrs and incompetence in his position in the chain of command, if he seeks to telegraph empathy, I would feel more secure if he remained completely out of the decision making process and left the military operations to the professionals seeking to obey the legitimate authority of our Constitution.

can't wait until he gives 'em the "now let's not jump to any conclusion" line. That ought to get 'em going.Ooooh. Can you imagine? That would be something to see. I feel so sorry for the people attending that service who are truly in mourning. They have to be there with the great pretender. I would feel very cheated.

Don’t torture yourself. Whenever he appears, I always either press MUTE or change the channel.

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. So if it would have happened on another base it wouldn't have been as bad?
WTF is this guy taking about?

If I had a family member killed by this monster, I would tell the military that they had to choose between me and barry. I would REFUSE to be a part of the event if barry was going to be there.

Don't worry he doesn't actually speak, he just reads the prompter out loud.
