Obama urges Congress to put off Ft. Hood probe
NY Post ^ | November 14, 2009 | AP

WASHINGTON — 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.

God forbid it should become common knowledge that Hasan is a Islamofascist terrorist/killer.

Obummer doesn’t want Congress to concentrate on anything but the continued action on the bankruptcy and ruination of America. (Which was once a perfectly good country.)

Tell ya what, Barruh—when you call this what it really is; i.e., TERRORISM, then we might be able to move on. But as long as you’re shoving this PC libtard crap down our throats with the rest of the MSM carrying your water, we’ll focus on it as much as we damned well please!!!

Putting things off appears to be his specialty.

I really love the new story in the NY Slimes, where somebody from the Administration has offered the explanation that the cost sending extra troops is weighing on poor Barry O’s mind. Your would think that ‘cost’ would be the hardship endured by the military personal and their family. But no! It’s the actual the financial cost that’s weighing on his mind, and that’s obviously a first. The cost of the health-care bill and bailouts didn’t weigh on his mind whatsoever.

What's our Muslim-In-Chief afraid of ??

Did Eric Holder do something wrong ??

Did our Muslim-In-Chief and Eric Holder take us back to the pre-connect the dot days on Hasan ....maybe stop the investigation that was going on for “first amendment” reasons ??

Our Muslin-In-Chief sounds very worried ?? How come ??

What a joke this guy is. I guess healthcare DOES deserve political stagecraft, and a stimulis DOES deserve political stagecraft.

What an a-hole!

This can mean one of two things:

The stakes are too high, because we are about to uncover and thwart the plans of Islamist sleepers throughout the military and American society.

- OR -

The stakes are too high, because a Congressional probe would uncover the plans of Islamist sleepers throughout the military and American society, and our administration is rife with them - including the CIC.

Wonder which it is?

Hmmmmm.....

It appears that Obama seeks to defend Islam.

You do have to wonder....

I’m expecting the FBI to come out and say that Hassan’s center wing fuel tank blew up, offering some CIA animation as proof.

I’m willing to bet my Sunday morning sweet roll that there’s a photo of obuma with his arm around his good buddy Hasan.

Let’s dig it out.
