President Barack Obama on Saturday urged Congress to hold off on any investigation of the Fort Hood rampage until federal law enforcement and military authorities have completed their probes into the shootings at the Texas Army post, which left 13 people dead.
On an eight-day Asia trip, Obama turned his attention home and pleaded for lawmakers to "resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater." He said those who died on the nation's largest Army post deserve justice, not political stagecraft.
"The stakes are far too high," Obama said in a video and Internet address released by the White House while the president he was flying from Tokyo to Singapore, where Pacific Rim countries were meeting.
Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, was charged on Thursday with the shooting spree at Fort Hood last week. Army investigators have said Hasan is the only suspect and could face additional charges.

In other words, get the brooms out and sweep it under the rug
Separation of powers means nothing to the Kenyan.
WTF?
There, fixed it.
0bama is a disgrace.
What stakes are those exactly?
Congress can screw up a criminal or civilian prosecution, but is less likely to do so for a military proceeding. Especially if they stay out of Hasan's day of Jihad. They could investigate Gen. Casey though.
I agree that the stupid Marxist Dimocrats and RINOs in Congress need to keep their butts out of this till the law enforcement guys have done their jobs, without these idiots looming over their shoulders. Then, after the investigation is over, they can come in and point fingers at Private Johnny Tentpeg, a supply clerk in an administrative unit, and say he is the one who caused the Muzzie Murdering Thug of the Gutter Cult of Izzzlum to go bonders.
No, no, no.
Let the games begin. If they refuse to hold hearings I will gladly take another trip to Washington. Anyone with me?
Maybe they can bring him to New York so he can “hang” with his “peeps”.
That’s right...the only things we need to rush into are massive spending bills and universal health care.
This works both ways, folks. If we demanded an investigation we could be accused of partisanship. Keep the Feds out of it as long as we can.
Too late. The FBI turned it into farce when they proclaimed within an hour "this is not terrorism (jihad)".
This actually seems pretty logical...
...we pray that nobody else gets hurt while Zer0 fiddles...
Running interference for the MUSLIM FANATIC KILLER ????
I would bet there is PLENTY of information tying this creep to many facets of ISLAMIC TERROR organizations. Obama does not want that to come out. I hope the libtards are happy with what they put in the Oval Office.
He'd pleading to not make this “Political Theater” on the day after he and his justice henchman Eric Holder announce KSM and his ilk are to be “prosecuted under the US Justice System IN NEW YORK?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have only 2 words for this idiot and they aren't “Lets Dance”.
What a flaming hypocritical Piece of Excrement!!!!!
He demands that Bush, Cheney, et al endure their “Political Theater” of a Show Trial but we MUST prevent the politicization of thew F’ Ups that lead to the Ft Hood Massacre by the Muslim Terrorists?!!!!!!!!!
My GOD this man is an freaking A-Hole!!!
keep looking....never do what the bomb asks, as he’s un-American
