Yeah, he could have done a lot better and a lot earlier, but to shun Ft Hood altogether would be criminal.

It is a memorial service for murdered soldiers.

I am expecting the military crowd to be respectful of the Commander in Chief and focus their attention on the service.

This should be a prediction thread. My predictions:

1. No direct mention of terrorism, rather a reference to an act of violence by one man.

2. A caution not to let our emotions rule the day. This will be veiled somehow. He will not come out and say it directly.

3. Some type of announcement (not a political announcement) as a way of making it all better. ie along the lines of counseling or a memorial.

Oh this should be a winner of a speech. Be sure to look for:

Teleprompter, robotic head-turns
His preoccupation with and continued misuse of PTSD
Bush-blaming
His disgusting Mid-East pronunciations
A new MO designer mourning outfit

I deeply hope that Barack Hussein Obama is able to give appropriate and dignified eulogies for those who were murdered.

Why do you want him to pretend he cares and garner more praise from the media?

I'd rather he show his true callous feelings and let people see him as the jerk he really is. Of course, he won't though. He'll fake concern and read what his teleprompter tells him to. The media will hail it as the best speech ever given in the history of the universe.

I wonder if anyone will get up and walk out.

I will be watching this to see what does happen. I would think that there is quite a possibility of some family members and soldiers being very unhappy with his presence. Yes, I'll be watching with bells on.

4. We must not lose our diversity because of this “tragedy”. Our diversity is how an African-American became president. But it’s not about me.

Is he going to apologize to the shooter for some bizarre reason?

Depends what the TOTUS tells him to say.

I wonder what the “reading” by Obama will be?

How many ‘shout outs,’ mis-representations, incorrect facts, lies, failures to reference terrorism, use of the term diversity, and references to himself will he “READ” from the TOTUS?

Just wondering.

I'm surprised they're allowing TV cameras there. If no one gets up and leaves, or shouts him down, I will be shocked.

Yeah, I understand these are people in mourning and they have a lot more respect for the military than their alleged CiC. But wow. I don't think I could hold my temper if I was a family member.

but to be honest, I guess he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t

Then let him be damned and not insult our suffering Ft Hood community while he goes about it.

Correct - They will see him as the Pesident Of The US, not Barrack Obama.

I’m cool with him there, If he didn’t go then I would have been really tee’d off.

I am so glad I have a mute button and the ability to look away.

May the Lord comfort those who mourn the dead and heal the wounded victims of the Islamic terrorist.

Well, he has to make his daily appearance to his subjects lest we forget what he looks like.

I call for a national NO-bama day.
