I am Appalled!

Do you notice anything different about this post? The difference is there is no picture.  I always add a picture to each of my posts.  But this is different.  After the tradegy at Ft. Hood on Thursday as we are all trying to let what happened sink in..........George and Laura Bush showed up at Ft. Hood on Friday evening.  There were no photo ops, no press conferences, no look at me.... the Bush's made a private visit to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers and to visit the soldiers who were injured.  Hence NO PICTURE for my blog.  Oh wait...BUSH is our FORMER President.....

Where is Obama?
On Thursday, Obama held a press conference at 5 pm on Thursday while he was at a Tribal Nations Conference.  Mr. Obama made some opening remarks and a shout out and then he slipped right into talking about our fallen....once he pulled his speech from his breast pocket.

That wasn't the bad part...well wait...he needed a speech to know what to say about the tradegy that happened at Ft. Hood.  Hmmm...that blows my mind...I know I personally would not need typed words to tell me what to say.....if I were speacking about it...I KNOW what I feel and that would work for me.

Everyone including the media was appalled by Obama's non-chalant attitude about Ft. Hood.  I've heard the media describe it several ways.  The AP describes it below:

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?

It is Saturday, two days later... where is our President.  Oh my wait, he can't visit Ft. Hood right now, he is busy on Capital Hill today trying to get his healthcare bill passed.  Yes, these soldiers and families of the fallen will have to wait for our COMMANDER IN CHIEF to find the time to visit the tragedy in Texas.  I'm sure he'll find time...sooner or later.  The Audacity of this DOPE!
