Text of President Barack Obama's remarks at a Chicago restaurant about Wednesday's shooting incident at Ford Hood, Texas:

———

I just got off the phone with Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Sandy Winnefeld to get the latest report on the situation at Fort Hood.

Obviously, we're following it closely. The situation is fluid right now, but my national security team is in close contact with not just the Defense Department, but the FBI. They are working with folks on the ground to determine exactly what happened, to make sure that everybody is secure. And I want to just assure all of us that we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.

You know, any shooting is trouble.

"Romanian Cugir semiautomatic rifle" [with scope].

According to Wiki.

I had found a more detailed description, but can't find it now.

Here's where I end up in my short "investigation"

[Dick Vomer]

he needs to ban weapons on base.... that would be a start. maybe a big sign saying...you can’t have a gun on the base

[Paladin2]

This:

would seem to be an inconvenient mount.

[Go Gordon]

It started as a protest

The Emporer is buck-azzed nekkid.

No matter what he’s commenting on - unless it’s about an uncoming fundraiser - he always looks so very bored.

"I wonder if he will sign an executive order to outlaw guns in America? You know he would like to"

Nah. That's too drastic.

He'll disband the military completely since work place violence happened twice within 4 years.

He'll disband the military completely since work place violence happened twice within 4 years.

LOL, now that is drastic, but don't give him any ideas.

"Not terror its “soldier to soldier”."

Is this a new term we are to use from now on? First it's work place violence,now it's soldier to soldier. m'kay.

Saying that it "soldier to soldier" diminishes this situation. As in, Oh,it's just boys doing what boys do.

Crazy man to humans is more appropriate.

Buahahahahahahaha! Tell it to the Fast and Furious victims.

This little monkey fascist is indeed a piece of work.

[RedMDer]

By FBI he means find a way to blame evil guns in the hands of his subjects.

"Was not even told what happened until I was at the school chapel during the rosary prayers, intercession time tonight. Took me by suprised."

'Either that, or I read it in the newspaper like all of you.'

"Every time Clown Prince nobama uses “folks”, I throw-up just a little. This criminal gives me the creeps."

Same here...he has kind of ruined the word.

Try saying 'folk dancing' - there's that little reflux.

Try saying 'Volkswagen' - same deal.

Good dancing and motoring but I'm all 'folk-ed' out of B. Hussein O.'s use of the word.

'Period'.
