Ok. What the **** are you talking about?

ter·ror·ize (tr-rz)
tr.v. ter·ror·ized, ter·ror·iz·ing, ter·ror·iz·es 1. To fill or overpower with terror; terrify.
2. To coerce by intimidation or fear.


This doesn't qualify? I'm all for rednecks shooting themselves up but it's still TERRORIZING PEOPLE.

I'm suprised you are still posting here. You've had your butt kicked to the curb so often for your silly and wrong posts, that you shouldn't even want to show your face.

I'm not English; I'm black and Puerto Rican like Tamika-Rosa.

Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

A bad week for Democrats compounded by an awful moment for Barack Obama.

By ROBERT A. GEORGE

Updated 2:56 PM CST, Fri, Nov 6, 2009

President Obama didn't wait long after Tuesday's devastating elections to give critics another reason to question his leadership, but this time the subject matter was more grim than a pair of governorships.

After news broke out of the shooting at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas, the nation watched in horror as the toll of dead and injured climbed. The White House was notified immediately and by late afternoon, word went out that the president would speak about the incident prior to a previously scheduled appearance.

At about 5 p.m., cable stations went to the president. The situation called for not only his trademark eloquence, but also grace and perspective.

But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks.


Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0hiw8iXdMM

At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a "shout-out" to "Dr. Joe Medicine Crow -- that Congressional Medal of Honor winner."

Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?

Anyone at home aware of the major news story of the previous hours had to have been stunned. An incident like this requires a scrapping of the early light banter. The president should apologize for the tone of his remarks, explain what has happened, express sympathy for those slain and appeal for calm and patience until all the facts are in. That's the least that should occur.


Indeed, an argument could be made that Obama should have canceled the Indian event, out of respect for people having been murdered at an Army post a few hours before. That would have prevented any sort of jarring emotional switch at the event.

Did the president's team not realize what sort of image they were presenting to the country at this moment? The disconnect between what Americans at home knew had been going on -- and the initial words coming out of their president's mouth was jolting, if not disturbing.

It must have been disappointing for many politically aware Democrats, still reeling from the election two days before. The New Jersey gubernatorial vote had already demonstrated that the president and his political team couldn't produce a winning outcome in a state very friendly to Democrats (and where the president won by 15 points one year ago).

And now this? Congressional Democrats must wonder if a White House that has burdened them with a too-heavy policy agenda over the last year has a strong enough political operation to help push that agenda through.

If the president's communications apparatus can't inform -- and protect -- their boss during tense moments when the country needs to see a focused commander-in-chief and a compassionate head of state, it has disastrous consequences for that president's party and supporters.

All the president's men (and women) fell down on the job Thursday. And Democrats across the country have real reason to panic.

The Massacre at Fort Hood was the first major Terrorism attack on the USA by a radical Islamic Muslim Terrorist since 9-11. Major Nidal Malik Hasan knows this. The Army knows this. The Pentagon knows this. Who does not understand this? Somebody should clue in Obama, since he has not been able to figure it out on his own. This is what happens when you lose focus on The War On Terrorism.

Or maybe he is a part of the network?

Obama is The Community Organizer In Chief Of The Pentagon

Quote:
President Obama in his weekly address Saturday called the shooting at Fort Hood “a crime against our nation,” and called on Americans to remember the fallen and honor those who rushed to help the wounded. He also said he would continue to closely monitor the investigation.

http://www.politico.com/politico44/w...d11072009.html
The word is, "Terrorism." The shooting at Fort Hood was “an act of Terrorism against our nation.”

The teleprompter-in-chief got it wrong.

I guess he felt he needed to "one up Bush" on that one...

Evidence shows that President George W. Bush was well apprised of the events of September 11, 2001 as they unfolded, and probably before; and that he intentionally neglected to respond with effective counter measures in a timely manner. That he has been using the attack as an excuse to curtail freedoms is an established and well-recognized fact. That he himself was complicit in the attack is an act of grave conspiracy.

As we might expect of a President of the highly technologically advanced United States, evidence supports that President Bush was in fact briefed about the events of that morning in a timely manner as they unfolded. For example, an ABC news reporter asked him at approximately 8:45 A.M. if he knew what was happening in New York, and the President confirmed that he did.

Timeline documentation proves that he saw the second plane hit the second tower just before entering the classroom at Booker Elementary School at approximately 9:02 A.M. Then, at 9:05 A.M. he was told explicitly by his Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, that: "A second plane has hit the World Trade Center. America is under attack."

Notwithstanding these absolutely clear visual and verbal communications announcing a most profoundly serious situation, instead of responding with focused attention on the matter at hand, the Commander in Chief of the country willfully chose to continue with the trivial event for at least seven more minutes, reading with a few children a book about a girl and her goat, while his fellow citizens were under attack and dying, and the country's military headquarters complex was in range of a third hijacked plane.

President Bush then lingered in the classroom with reporters following the completed photo-op event before his next briefing and subsequent address to the nation at 9:30 A.M.- a previously scheduled press conference. Not until after 9:41 A.M. did he issue permission shoot down any remaining hijacked undeterred planes. This order was issued after the attack on the Pentagon.

We are talking about some guy who went crazy and shot up a handful of people at an army base,with Bush,there were thousands killed and damages in the trillions of dollars.

YEA,I think Obama fell a bit short of Bushes atrocity.
