I couldn’t believe this when I watched it. This is the guy with charisma? W had more class on his worst day. They said W didn’t go to Dover and maybe he didn’t but I do know he met with many of the families of soldiers that gave their lives for their country and his condolences were sincere. The troops knew that too.
You don’t win the medal of honor,you receive it,it’s not a contest.I can’t believe how cavalier he was about the whole thing.I also can’t believe he’d give a shout out and ramble on for about two minutes before even addressing the massacre,and here’s a hint Obama,you should not need crib notes to deliver condolences.
Talking (empty) head! It is sad that this man was elected, but you have to consider who it was who put him there. The cheer-leading continues for this charlatan and duper of the people.
Sickening.
Pathological narcissism the likes of which we have never seen before. He’s smiling at points. I imagine him doing something very similar were he the potus when 9/11 happened.
And I don’t miss W. I miss the missed opportunities that were Lamar Alexander in 2000 and Rudy in 2008.
He already did his photo-op saluting dead soldiers. To Obama, dead soldiers killed by muslims are now page D-4, below-the-fold news.
His response to the arrest of Henry Louis Gates was made with less information and more outrage.
Obama doesn’t even know how to talk like a man.
“Next cue card please….”
Two minutes into his prepared remarks, we get a non-TOTUS delivered response to this horrific massacre (paraphrased):
‘uugh… uugh… uugh… thank you.’
I miss W very much!! Please see these extraordinary pictures of the President (done by Time Magazine) – it shows the heart of the President. http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/2009/photographing_bush/
Obama is clueless. I really miss President GWB.

TOTUS BRAINFREEZE.
This is the most bizarre TV conference on a supposed reaction, to a tragedy by a Leader Ive ever watched on the Planet.
You can almost here the shock of a deep silence by the audience as he starts with something totally unrelated. Its like he’s disconnected from the moment.

“Props to my man, Joe Medicine Crow, “winner” of the Congressional Medal of Honor.”
…kinda like “winning” the Nobel Peace Prize, ain’t it Barry?
“Props to my man, Joe Medicine Crow, “winner” of the Congressional Medal of Honor.”
…kinda like “winning” the Nobel Peace Prize, ain’t it Barry?
Also: Fort Hood is a “post” not a “base.”
Way to go, Commander in Chief!
“My Pet Goat”, “Medicine Crow” whatever.
You’d think maybe he could have faked outrage and concern. He comes across like a zombie, like his brain’s been snatched by aliens: no affect, no empathy, just measured, empty phrases spoken like a robot.
This guy is truly scary. He’s not at all sorry about what’s happened and wasn’t emotionally engaged in his response to this “horrific outburst of violence.” It’s going to be interesting to see how he proceeds now that the name of the main perpetrator is known. I’m expecting him to downplay Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s affiliation with the “religion of peace” and am anticipating some kind of plea to the American people to be extra kind and tolerant and open to Muslims.
If W responded like this the MSM would be releasing push polls for the next three days and doing so-called “man-on-the-street” interviews and featuring protests showing the insensitivity of the president.
My response is the same as the day he started his campaign for president, he will unite the voting public like no one has, just not the way he expects.
What a waste of intellect.
I know it sounds nit-picky, but the guy that Barry was “shouting out” to on national television isn’t even a recipient of the (Congressional) Medal of Honor.
He was awarded the civilian Congressional Gold Medal in 2008. A great honour, but certainly never to be glibly mistaken for the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government.
But, hey! Gold Medal, Medal of Honor…whatever! The important thing is that we all know that Crow there’s my main man!!
I would like to know what the ‘Muslim Advisor Czar’ Dalia Mogahed has to say about Major Hassan’s ‘jihad’.
On the cold hard face of it, he placed the tragedy after the other stuff. I’m sorry, but that’s just wrong. Save your shout outs and reports for another time, Osama.
*
speaking of a shout-out… Cone also said he heard first-hand accounts that Hassan shouted “Allah Akbar,” which
means “God is Great” in Arabic, as he opened fire at the Soldier Readiness Center at
Fort Hood.
*
I watched with my mouth open. This guy isn’t qualified to run aah aah aah hot dog stand.
One big assed mistake America.
Obama acts like this was an MTV awards program.
“Imma get to the massacre, but first some shout outs.”
I expect next that Obama the Hip Hop president will next be calling out to his homies.
With his response to this tragedy, Obama has shown himself to be the epitome of narcissism and shallowness. How much more of this man can American take?
Teleprompter charisma only works if the teleprompter works.
For more evidence of his brainless behaviour check out Ann Althouse’s blog from yesterday re: a speech he made to middle school children in Madison Wisconsin
Whence Obama’s rep. as a great speaker? His voice is a pleasant baritone, but what he says is laboured, cliched, hollow and unoriginal. His emotions are perfectly phoney; when he knows he’s meant to be talking about something grave he… stops. Randomly. Like William Shatner. But! – more boring. (This is meant to convey thinking, I believe.)
Major Hassan and Obama are of the same mind set..
The Obama “Hate America” campaign must have so impressed the Major that he expected the war was over…… I guess the Man-Child dithering was just to much for the Major….
I watched the performance live yesterday and when Owebama started speaking I thought Fox was playing the wrong feed. Owebama wasn’t speaking on anything even remotely related to the massacre. When he finally mentioned the deaths he made it all about himself.
As I said yesterday I hope the Americans have a quick and easy way to dump this turkey.
My sympathy and prayers to those soldiers who were killed/wounded and their families and friends. Regarding Obama, do you think he will give up the golf this weekend, attend church/mosque services and forgo the Friday nite music extravaganza (can Obama and the lovely Michelle forgo their indulgences?)?
Obama is apparently intent to stay on top of his administration’s gaffs. We should all be commending him. I, for one, say keep up the good work, Mr. President.
“If W responded like this the MSM would be releasing push polls for the next three days and doing so-called “man-on-the-street” interviews and featuring protests showing the insensitivity of the president.”

Of course the MSM will be gentler on Barry but I think the tide might be turning…check out this NBC Chicago report titled: “Obama’s frightening insensibility following shooting”…Remember this is G.E. owned NBC, the CHICAGO branch to boot! http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/politics/A-Disconnected-President.html
The report heavily critisizes the fact Barry should have cancelled this meeting being the WH knew about the massacre 2 hours before Narcissus hit the stage there.
Total disgrace and embarrassement from the leader of the free world. My spring 2009 prediction that Soetoro might not last his first 4 years gets another nudge.
America, rise up and impeach the Manchurian!
I miss Jimmy Carter.
Absolutely appalling. He acts like he’s there to receive an award or something.
There’s something profoundly immoral about that man, and given the position he holds, it’s more than just an “ick” factor, the guy is biblical-scale dangerous.
The opening of that press conference is just wrong on so many levels. Either the moral part of his brain is missing altogether, or just very, very unawake in a way that can’t be changed.
I hope the reins get yanked out of his hands at the first opportunity – 2012, I guess.
What does the “owe”mean when he says this is not the end of the process,but the beginning of the process?These words can be taken different ways.
This man is truly scary!
Hey, wait. He’s just getting started. Tomorrow they’ll pass Obamacare and in a few days cap-and-trade, so him giving a “shout out” will be a raindrop in the massive flood about to destroy America.
Nero as a Negro
Do you think he would have had the same response if it has been an acorn office and not a military facility
Think of the slagging that W took when he followed up his “we’ll hunt down all the terrorists” with “now watch this drive.” W was not announcing the murder of US citizens.
Now watch the boot-licks at CNN/NYT/CNBC/CBC/Etc. bash the right for point this out.
The more I contemplate the ridiculous “response” by Obama, the more I think this wasn’t a gaff. The administration, or at least his communication advisers, consider the meeting with natives and shout outs to friends to be more worthy of note and concern than the terrorist attack at Fort Hood.
The MSM might try to cover his a$$, but the American people know better.
Obama will pay for this one.
at the end of his days maybe like Nero he will worry about his life.
Oh what a Narcissist dies in me!
Obama thought bubble: “Hell, its only a bunch of honkey soldiers, what’s the big deal?”
Hey, you elect a racist Marxist narcissist to the Presidency, you’ve gotta expect this kind of thing.
Pat Boone wrote a article a week or two ago about how they need to fumigate the white house.
i say, amen to that!!
What an absolute disgrace obama is!
He completely minimized this whole event to try and control the truth of the matter:
Muslims who put their religion first cannot serve another duty first, ever. How much more proof do people need to start believing their lying eyes?
How can his time in the white house not result in an unmitigated disaster one way or another.
WHAT? Two full freaking minutes before he gets to the serious issue that the nation is waiting to hear him speak on… AND A “SHOUT OUT” before hand?
For all his flaws, not even Bush was this insensitive…
I love how CNN has tried to sugar coat this one for No-bama… they start their video clip a full two minutes into this one, where he starts talking about the tragedy.
Why is CNN covering, AGAIN, for Obama’s screw up?
Embedded video from CNN Video
…and the usurper plods on to America’s total destruction.
How much more before the second civil war starts?
“There’s something profoundly immoral about that man, and given the position he holds, it’s more than just an “ick” factor, the guy is biblical-scale dangerous.”
Here in Sub-Canadian MN, the PBS watching, NPR listening salt-of-the-earth supporting Pants Afire are awakening to complete neglect of Amerkkka. They currently suspect abject incompetence.
The coming year will, at the very least, sear that impression into conviction.
Perhaps we can, at that point, address their abysmal credulity.
