Yesterday was awful as we all know. I was especially frustrated as I had a commitment which kept me out of the loop as reports of the massacre of our troops unfolded. My prayers, as I know yours, have been with the families of everyone affected. This post is meant as an update, but I really must mention something.
I heard Obama’s response on the Fox News satellite radio while going from one meeting to another. He was, Cavuto told us, going to address the horror of so many of our soldiers being murdered on their own base. Obama comes up and proceeds to thank various people who had been at a conference. He chuckles when mentioning a person in the audience and continues to make remarks about what a great job all those people had done at their conference. All the while knowing, knowing, that at a dozen of our heroes had been cut down at Ft. Hood. All the while knowing that this sort of tactic is one al-Qaida has spoken of and hoped for. All the while knowing that bases around the country had to implement special security measures because we weren’t sure of this was the beginning of a nationwide attack against our military.
Knowing all along, yet chatting and chuckling before finding time to mention the massacre. I know I’m inclined to expect the worst from that bum, but even I was stunned by the insensitivity.
Hold on, as I’m writing this and preparing updates, yes someone else has noticed Obama’s rank insensitivity. And from NBC in Chicago of all places. Thank God someone in Obama’s backyard had the courage to speak the truth.
Obama’s Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting
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. 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.
And Stephen Kruiser has this to say about Obama’s obscenely shameful attitude: President Facetime Redefines “Clueless”
That said, here are the updates. As strange as you might think.

Our hero: Kimberly Munley praised for ending Fort Hood rampage

His cavalier attitude has outraged a number of news outlets that are incredulous at his disconnect, and insensitivity to the situation. I heard it on radio this morning, giving thank-yous and shout-outs to event organizers, as if nothing of any consequence had happened, and then the switch into serious mode. A complete disgrace.
It is exasperating to me that there are people out there actually trying to give this animal an excuse for his actions! Taunting since 9/11 for being Muslim, Trama for his upcoming deployment, etc.
Someone called Hasan and said” Why don’t you play a little solitare?”
(Reference: The Manchurian Candidate)
Why not use this one….it is just as lame!
Unfortunately the lunatic is still alive, so the 72 virgins will just have to wait a little longer for his sacred weenie.
Oh sheesh, LOL!! Barbara you have a way with words!!
Thank the God’s that a police officer finally did something pro-active, instead of waiting for the killer to run out of ammunition, and ended this rampage! Another fine example for an armed populace. I am quite familiar with the rules and regs about “absolutely NO loaded weapons allowed on base”, and requiring our troops to be perfect targets for any determined suicidal loonie. If just ONE of those soldiers had a loaded weapon, this might have been ended sooner, with less loss of life. I am praying for those poor murdered victims, and their families. And that the murdering SOB lives to get a rope around his neck.
Any real Muslim CANNOT serve in the military, as the OATH they take would conflict with their religion. NOT that I expect any real action to be taken, just more inneffective paper shuffling, the real military way, these days.
As to Obamao’s reaction, I was physically ill. Laughing and joking, for 2+ minutes, before even mentioning this massacre. I even thought that he didn’t KNOW. No, he just has no love for our troops, and we all know what religion he truly believes in. ‘Nuf said.
compare this to 9/11 when bush was reading to extremely young school children not adults. no one knew what the hell was going on as it all unfolded – remember how confusing and surreal that day was? nearly incomprehensible after the fact, in the middle of it it was like an alien invasion, some sci fi plot lifted from a tv show. the tension in that school room was palpable- terrible real life not a staged press conference- the attacks occurred in the middle of his sitting down with those kids, not before. how could anyone know what to do or say except protect the children and make sure there was no threat to the president. proceeding as if nothing was going on was not an option.
i was driving to work when this f’ing malicious hack was babbling his thank yous and cooing at people- i put on the news when i heard of the attack on a local talk radio show and they were playing this moron playing kissy coo coo to potential political contributors when he knew exactly what was occurring before he went ‘on stage’ with his act. it sickened me- actually horrified me might be closer to the mark .
he has to go. we are not safe. the commander in chief does not do shout outs and thank yous during a terrorist attack on our troops, our citizens, our country.
Lord God, please accept those brave soldiers into Your Arms. And please comfort their families.
What’s with the whistling when Obama slow-speaks?
The whistling “S”s sounds like the old geezer pedophile on “Family Guy”.
I’m happy someone mentioned it!
He also has this weird (and irritating to me at least) “clicking” at the back of his throat – seems to me to be when he (attempts) to end a sentence (or a fragment thereof) on a “point”. It’s not a clearing of the throat, it’s a clicking, almost purposeful. I know there are body language professionals out there; not sure about speech professionals who could shed some light on this…it is a very, almost indiscernable click at the back of his tongue. I’ve noticed it from day one of seeing this monster invading my “picture box”. Anyone?? Please tell me I’m not the only one noticing this. Maybe he has a diviated septum….
This, and, Obama can take forever making a decision, when our troops are being killed waiting to have reinforcement. i think more and more that you are right and he is a malignant narcissist sociopath. The only thing that will make him do what’s right is overwhelming political pressure.
FYI, Hasan is listed on a document the Obama administration used during the transition. It’s titled “Thinking Anew – Security Priorities for the Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force, April 2008 – January 2009.” The article was published by the The Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University.

Daniel Kaniewski, of the Homeland Security Policy Institute, said that the Nidal Hasan who is listed as attending the meetings of the transition task force is the same person as the alleged Ft. Hood shooter. Kaniewski also said that Hasan attended the meetings as a faculty member of the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, and not as a member of the presidential transition team. Oh, well, that certainly puts my mind at ease.
I was watching Cavuto too. He said Obama was going to come out and talk about the massacre at Fort Hood. I thought, “How could Cavuto get it so wrong as to what the President was going to talk about?” No. He wasn’t wrong. It’s just that Obama didn’t think it important enought to put aside previously prepared remarks to talk about the the number one issue at the moment. He doesn’t give a DAMN about our brave military men and women and their families. That speech Obama gave about the massacre at Fort Hood and that photo of him saluting the dead soldiers coming off the airplane at Dover Air Force Base are totally indicative of what he really thinks about the military and this country. Obama is DISGUSTING! He makes me SICK! Are you zombies who voted for him awake yet as to what he is really all about? Probably not. That’s why we call you zombies.
There is a lot to say about this terrible tragedy, which I call a terrorist attack, but an outstanding part of this story is the courage of the woman cop who brought down this evil doer. Kimberly Munley aggressively confronted him, and because of it, she almost died. She is in the hospital with three gunshot wounds, one to an artery. She had a lot of heart, and she had a gun that she knew how to use, and if it weren’t for her, this massacre could have been much worse.
I guarantee you Obama was more horrified by John Voight’s speech yesterday than he was the massacre in Texas.
Emperor Nero’s America, **** him.
I had the TV on and heard BO (eventually) commenting on the massacre. I thought: “What the hell is wrong with this man!?” Good God. So inappropriate and inadequate. I, too, expect the worst from him, but he is so much worse than I ever expected and he will no doubt evoke ever higher levels of disgust in me for as long as he remains in the public eye.
It’s the best thing Obama could have done. It shows his true col0rs. Obama’s honest, gut reaction to the muslim terrorist attack at Ft. Hood WILL come back to bite him in the ass. Give the son of a bitch enough rope, as the expression goes, and he’ll f*ck himself up. Doesn’t need any help. His time mismanaging the country will be mercifully brief and his legacy will remind even the gullible, easily-fooled among us not to make that mistake again…at least not till another generation of starry-eyed morons comes along.
Political correctness kills. David Horowitz’s comment:
Wow! Right on. It’s obvious that for the sake of Political Correctness, the cultural elites in this country have accepted, whether they like it or not, that innocents will have to die. As Horowitz wrote, the “The Fort Hood massacre is the first of the preventable [my emphasis] atrocities…”
It’s unbelievable how brazen Islamic civil rights groups and college organizations have become since 9-11. Who would’ve thought on 9/12/01 that that would be the case 8 years later. Who would’ve thought how nicely these groups fit into the victim culture of the Left and use it to full advantage: shutting down all opposition. Especially the truth.
P.S. Does anyone find it outrageous that the killer is referred by some as, “the gentleman.” Since when do gentlemen massacre their fellow humans? What about the use of the word “tragedy” to describe the murderous act committed by that monster? A tragedy is a hurricane, an earthquake, a tornado, or some sort of accident. David Horowitz has called it right: the Fort Hood massacre is an A-TRO-CI-TY!
This is a crime certainly worth the firing squad — too bad military executions can only be done with lethal injection nowadays. It wouldn’t surprise me if Obama ends up commuting this scum’s sentence.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the affected and the Ft. Hood community.
“But grandmother, what big teeth you have.”
Even Little Red Riding Hood showed more suspicion facing the obvious than the media. They prefer making up their own fairy tales.
Tammy, you have your own unique language! I often hear myself speaking the Tammy-isms. Learned a new one on today’s podcast. “When Bush …. , the left went batshit.” Am I allowed to write that word? Guess I’ll find out.
Okay, here’s the thing. May sound weird. The Once DOES NOT CARE!!! GET IT!? God bless those souls and their families; but for the love of God – “bama does not care….and we BETTER “get it”. We wring our hands and lament “oh my oh me – how can it be this ruler of our country could be so calous”.
He is. He cares nothing of our troops. He cares nothing of our country. He cares nothing of the wars. He cares nothing about our protection. He care nothing for our culture. He cares nothing for our way of life. He cares nothing for our future. He care nothing about you. He cares nothing about me. He cares for HE and he alone. WE BETTER GET IT.
NONE of us should be surprised of his disgusting response to this, yet another, Muslim attack on our countrymen. Look guys…inside, while he was giving this “speech” (what’err) about our lost men and women, inside he was giving us the finger and saying to the gunman (I don’t care to use his name): “geez man, all you could take out was 13?? AND why didn’t you die in the meanwhile?”
I mean – that’s what they’re supposed to do…right – take out as many as possible and die in the “battle” (yes, it is a coward’s battle indeed if you are bringing to a gunfight, you know, GUNS, while the opposition has no idea it is a gun fight and so they bring a book to read while they wait for the dentist).
Like this freak wrote in his diary or FB page or whatever – he spoke of kamakazie (sp? – don’t feel like looking it up, uh, with all due respect) pilots not being murders…just killing the enemy by killing themselves or words to that effect.
Now…I must go and catch Tammy Wed-Fri podcasts to cleanse the pallete.
FREAKING SCUM-BAGGGGGS.
Naaaaaancy……Naaaaaaancy……Naaaaancy (sorry – couldn’t help it).
Well said. It is weird, but true. Tammy describes the traits of a sociopath, and he fits. I think we TAMs have accepted the truth about Mr. Cool as a cucumber because we knew it all along, but just surprised how much he’s revealing his true cold detached self. On Thursday, someone should’ve advised him to at least act like he cared, but I’m glad they didn’t (or glad he didn’t take their advice) so everyone can see the freak we have in the Oval Office. The video from Fox is at the top of Google videos right now.
This is a “don’t rush to judgment” class of crime. It’s not the sort of offense against political correctness you quickly condemn, like when a black Harvard aristocrat gets himself arrested.
I used to point out to anti-gun folks that there hasn’t been one shooting at a gun show, not one shooting at a Police station, and not one shooting at a military base, where there are plenty of guns.
Well, now I can’t say that of military bases now, and you know some anti-gun nut is going to try to have a field day with this.
Bravo, thanks for the reminder about the peacefulness surrounding gun environments.
I see your point, Tammy, but the point I’m trying to make is that that argument is going to be weakened now, at least somewhat.
But then again, from what I understand, the vast majority, if not all, of these soldiers were not themselves armed; the gunman chose that particular place (where they were getting their shots, eye exams, etc.) because he pretty much knew they wouldn’t be armed, so unless you have information to the contrary, the analogy would still hold, wouldn’t it?
Well, Ft. Hood was essentially a “gun-free zone.” Soldiers are not allowed to carry a weapon, nor have one in their quarters, etc., as I understand it.
At least there are media outlets criticizing Obama for his lack of compassion. Three months ago, they would have all been grasping at straws to find an excuse for him. Perhaps the honeymoon is finally ending. We’ll see.
Sometimes I honestly don’t know what country I’m living in anymore. I really and truly feel like I’ve stepped through the looking glass. I think more and more people are seeing this man for what he is on a daily basis. I just hope the damage done can be stopped, contained, and reversed.
From the American Thinker:
“Diane Sawyer – either espousing her editorial fantasy or a quoting a third hand comment from an anonymous “military wife” — was dreadfully upset that the mass murderer from Fort Hood was not named Smith. One can only imagine how thrilled she’d have been had he been named something like, oh I don’t know, Palin.”

As I review that events of the past week or so, one thing really bugs me. That, our hero Kimberly Munley did not have one last round to finish off this cancer cell passing it’s self off as a human being.
I shudder to consider the cost we have already incured nursing this insect back to health. And I’m sure that there will be no shortage or leftist lawers ready and willing to take his case. Just one more round is all I ask !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
