Obama To Visit Families Of The 14 Killed In Massacre As Some Criticize Trip December 17, 2015 10:15 PM

SAN BERNARDINO (CBSLA.com) -- President Barack Obama will visit San Bernardino Friday to meet with family and loved ones of the 14 people killed in the San Bernardino massacre.

On the eve of his visit, some were critical of the president for not visiting sooner. Some are also asking why he doesn't plan to meet with survivors.

KCAL9's Tom Wait spoke to one of the president's strongest critics.

"It's almost as like this is like an afterthought, that he's flying on his way to vacation two weeks after the event," says San Bernardino County Supervisor Curt Hagman.

He told Wait the president's visit in his eyes is too little, too late.

Hagman is among those criticizing the president for only meeting with the family of the people who were killed.

"I have several of my, of our, employees who got injured who expressed dissatisfaction that he didn't come out and visit with them as well," Hagman said.

Among those not receiving a presidential visit is Julie Swann Paez. She was shot twice in the pelvis and is now in rehab at Loma Linda. Her son told said Thursday that the family has not heard from White House officials.

How convenient it is dropping in to see the grieving families on his way to his Hawaiian vacation. Any good golf courses nearby? Man's gotta do something to unwind. Sarc..

“It won’t bring any closure to us,” said Evelyn Godoy, whose sister-in-law, Aurora Godoy, the mother of a toddler, was killed in the attack.

Evelyn Godoy said she didn’t know what her family was hoping to hear. On the one hand, his visit felt like a nice gesture. On the other, when she read in the news that he was stopping on his way to Hawaii for his vacation she couldn’t help but feel “like we were a throw in.”

“At the end of the day my sister-in-law isn’t coming back,” she said. “It doesn’t bring her back.”

Following criticism of his seeming insensitivity to the largest terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, Barack Obama is reluctantly making a brief pit stop in San Bernardino to express scripted condolences before continuing his flight to a 5-star multi-million dollar vacation in Hawaii.

Based on his previous comments about the slaughter, we expect him to spend most of his time telling victims’ families how great Muslims are, how important it is not to hold grudges (”especially at a time of year when many Americans, immigrants, and refugees celebrate the holiday of their choice”), and that he’s doing everything in his power to discourage ISIS recruitment by letting terrorists out of Guantanamo Bay.

Of course, it’s not just the people of San Bernardino who are affected and frightened by domestic terror, which is why the president has already issued comforting words on his way to the land of umbrella drinks, pupu platters, and Secret Service protection - saying there are no “specific and credible threats” to the homeland at the moment.

Just like the day before the bloodbath in San Bernardino.

Anyone who would even think about meeting with him is a fool.

And Obama’s policies on background checks for visas facilitated the admission of the female terrorist. Think that will come up? Obama can go and look at the family victims and think, how dumb can they be to believe that he is concerned about their non-Muslim welfare.

He's only stopping because someone told him it would be bad "optics" for him to fly over on his way to Hawaii.

The question is will he tell the families the violence was due to a video or mother nature?

I would like to see one of the fathers actually lose it on live camera in the following manner:

“It’s all your g88 d888 m88888 f888888 fault, you Muslim loving s88 o8 a b8888! where is your protection, now? Huh?”
and immediately spit on his shoes!

Unless Obama wants a seventh mosque to be built, apparently San Bernardino already has that covered.....sarc.

I thought that his must be a joke website, but here is what is listed on Yelp:

I wouldn't want to meet with the liar-in-chief if I lost a loved one to violence. But then again, this is California, a liberal utopia. I'll bet there are quite a few Obama worshipers who will kiss his feet when he shows up.

Will that be before or after he visits the graves of Sayood and Mashik? I know I misspelled their names. I did that on purpose.

All they need to do is sit down, take off their shoes, and turn the soles of the shoes towards him as he speaks.

He will know what they mean.

Silent, yet very insulting without threatening.
