Obama's Response to Fort Hood Shooting Under Scrutiny

Why Obama referenced the 'Congressional Medal of Honor' as a shoutout to a person Obama gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Obama is mind boggling. There is absolutely no connection to the two, yet we are supposed to believe the President doesn't even know the difference?

His reaction to the Islamic Major Hasan who shot and killed 13 people at Fort Hood and wounded another 30 was shocking. Who is Obama protecting?

Today Obama said not to jump to conclusions. Guess he doesn't want the American people connecting dots that this massacre was done by an Islamic fundamentalist that was admonished not to try and convert patients to Islam. Yet he was promoted and was a member of the Homeland Security Transition Team for Obama. Since the FBI knew about him six months ago, we would like to know why no one in chain of command did a thing. Was it because he was a member of the Obama Transition Team?

From the names that have been released he killed and wounded civilians not just military members. One was a pregnant woman.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Fort Hood community as they deal with what happened yesterday.

Critics say that the tone and brevity of Obama's remarks on Fort Hood 'did not appreciate the gravity of what he represents' while others say he had the right presidential instincts.

As the U.S. military and law enforcement were scrambling to save lives after a deadly shooting rampage at Ft. Hood, Texas, President Obama opened his remarks Thursday with a two-minute "shout out" to audience members who attended the Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Interior Department.

Obama's initial comments on the shooting that killed 13 and wounded scores of others came at the conclusion of Thursday's conference, which was attended by leaders from several of the 564 federally recognized American Indian tribes.

"I planned to make some broader remarks," he told the crowd. "But as some of you might have heard there has been a tragic shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas."

The president's words on the deadly rampage came two minutes after he gave a "shout out" to an audience member and stressed the need to pass health care reform.

"I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It’s good to see you," he said.
