” I know there will also be inquiries by Congress, and there should.
But all of us should resist the temptation to turn this tragic event
into the political theater that sometimes dominates the discussion here in Washington.
The stakes are far too high.”
The Master of political theater telling Republicans to back off .
” But it’s unthinkable that so many would die in a hail of gunfire on a US Army base in the heart of Texas, and that a fellow service-member could have pulled trigger.”
Hey Barry, did you forget Sgt Hasan Akbar who killed 2 and wounded 14 members of the 101st Airborne at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait ?
” We owe our troops prayerful, considered decisions about when and where we commit them to battle to protect our security and freedom,
and we must fully support them when they are deployed. “ ...
As Commander-in-Chief, I won’t settle for anything less.”
Is it possible that Barry is too stupid to understand that we have thousands and thousands of soldiers already deployed ?
And waiting for support ?
Or are they just “ Bush “ soldiers , so, they don’t count ?
They are triangulating the situation politically. They will do everything in their power to change this from an act of Al-Qaida Jihadi terror to the act of a strained and stressed out Military memeber who happened to be Islamic.
The goal is to make Hasan the victim.
I am sure the liberals could have done the same for any of the 911 highjackers as well. The Oppression of America on the minds of those enslaved by the JIhad of some....
Such is the B.S. of our time.
All we can do is fight for justice and not let them get away with it.

look busy talk tough
and hope another crisis comes along and distracts people so they forget
Easy to do a review. Visit the indoctrination center where he went every week. Get a copy of the hate-handbook that he read faithfully.
So yeah, being the little lowlife criminals th at they are, the left will try to pin it on Bush - who did "bow" to the PC idiocy far too much.
But that's NOT what they get him on - they still back PC. Nope, they'll try to weaken that which is good about the military - and that which was good about President Bush. Dems are the brown shirts...
It is getting hard to keep up with this stuff.
Since Barry seems to think that the world begins and ends with him, you are make an excellent point. Barry always tries to do what is best for Barry.
... in the most politically correct, obfuscated, incomplete, and misdirected manner possible.

Well, which is it two faced 0bama?

How about a review of missed Zero warning signs
BTTT. That's the very first thing that came to my mind.
It doesn't make any sense for the Kenyan Clown to prattle on about finding the "full story" — why on Earth wouldn't we expect that as a matter of course?
If they insist on making this shooter a victim they are going to have a civil war on their hands and the military will not be on their side.
Here's ONE warning sign but they were probably under a lot of 'stress' so let's not 'jump to conclusions'
Exactly. My dad used to be in the Army and he told me that his rule of thumb was to make a decision when he had at least 60% of the information in front of you. Many times you get above that, and that’s great, you lower your risk, but sometimes you have less, and you still have to make a decision.
His overriding principle was that inaction was worse than making a decision. Right or wrong, at least if you make a decision you can always adjust as new information or circumstances require.
Obama has no executive experience at all. He comes from legislatures which are deliberative bodies, where consensus building is the rule and no one has to really suffer the consequences for bad decisions. Prior to that he was involved in academia, law firms, and rabble-rousing.
The one most important job in the country that relies on being able to make a decision is the presidency and it is downright scary that so many were duped into voting for him. The presidency is not a place for on-the-job training.
I’d think it would be safe to say that most small business owners or military NCOs have more executive experience than Obama.
After almost 30 years in the service, I’d say your Dad is right.

“In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing to do. The worst thing you can do is nothing.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt
“When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.” ~ General George Patton
“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” ~ Thomas Sowell
“Be willing to make decisions. That’s the most important quality in a good leader.” ~ General George Patton
And one that seems to fit this President perfectly:
“Some persons are very decisive when it comes to avoiding decisions.” ~ Brendan Francis
