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' diversity—a 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.

Please zero - do NOT go. Do NOT make a further fool of yourself and this country by showing how bloody insensitive you are to these people’s loss... Stay home, go on a date, golf - in short, do anything but attend this memorial service...
Barf.
He’s probably all excited because he thinks he’s going to da hood.
What a CIC!!!
Thank you President Bush and First Lady Laura for your love of Country and appreciation of those that serve and protect us. God Bless you and your family!
I am just down right tired of our CIC treating our Military men and women like they are some dumbo he can just push around!
The brave soldiers have more love for our Country than President Obama could ever have!
I was proud of President Bush and First Lady Laura.
I cried most of the night and prayed for those lost, their families and for our Country. Also thanked the Lord for having loving souls like George W. Bush and Laura in our mist. BTW....in my part of the Country the American Flag is at Half-Mast in honor of those that were murdered at Fort Hood....wonder if it is at the White House?
Maybe someone should tell him that muslims aren’t going to be welcome there.
“Wow! Was his golf game canceled?”
He is going for the photo op. He could care less about the victims and their families.
Clearly, he's not talking about anything. He's simply reading a Teleprompter. It's a "gift," you see.
As well he should...

I was just as floored as you. I literally could not believe what i was seeing and hearing. I remember thinking “even Democrats are gonna be offended by this” (well at least until the media tells them the speech was just right).
Hopefully people are spreading the video around by email.
There is one muslim “victim” we all now. The poor pre-PSD afflicted individual who went on the rampage. You are just so insensitive. No wonder he went off his rocker.
“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 it would have been less despicable and less heartbreaking had it happened on a smaller post?
