Fallen Soldiers Take Second Fiddle To A Department of the Interior Conference

12 Murdered, 31 Injured, Not The Presidents Priority

If you thought that President Obama was negligent in his lack of attention to national security issues due to his overwhelming concentration on jamming healthcare reform down our throats, his first response to the tragedy that occurred at Fort Hood is equally telling. Stepping out to the podium, the crowd expecting to hear solemn words, heartfelt sympathy and potentially even anger at the seemingly religiously motivated shootings resulting in military deaths and wounded on our very own soil, they heard the statement below instead.

What are the priorities of this President? Does he know the seriousness of what happened at Fort Hood? Does he care? Does he truly sympathize with the soldiers, civilians and their families or is this just more rhetoric that he was fed to say? Judging by the priorities of his speech I would say that like most everything else coming out of this White House it is merely the rhetoric they think people want to hear. Only this time they screwed up the order of his delivery.

The left can say what they will about our former President, but he had and still has a deep feeling for our men and women in combat and sincere sorrow for any who make the ultimate sacrifice. President Obama making the very public move of going to Dover Air Force Base to see soldiers being returned from overseas was great P.R. However, his priorities in his speech and ability to inject levity when he spoke may tell you all that you need to know.
