Soldiers being gunned down by another soldier is pretty unusual. And noteworthy to the Commander in Chief.
But technically, we shouldn't blame his whole staff for the speech kerfluffle. I think we can squarely lay the blame on the Teleprompter. |

Stunning.
If that was Bush, we'd have a separate 100 page thread by the flotsam and jetsam frothing in selective outrage. |

I criticized Obama as it was happening in the Ft. Hood thread.
It was and still is unbelieveable. The guy is out of his league and it is disturbing. |

No, Bush was in front of children.
Obama was in front of America and the world. Go over to that thread and see who laughed at my words...Very predictable. |

And Bush was first learning about something that was unbelievable. In Obama's case, it was hours after the incident and he knew exactly what had happened.

Um, HELLO!!! This guy was in the army when Bush was in office, so he inherited this nut job.

This was in reference to the Ft. Hood shooting, not the Harvard professor incident. Whoops... |

Our President, giving a "shout out" to someone just irritates the SHIT out of me. That, and his propensity for being photographed without a tie just
seems to put the highest office in the land at the same level as a local city council member. He is still the JUNIOR SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS, people, he just
changed his address.

sealbach wrote: Obama's "shout out" is even worse when you consider that he was recognizing Joe Medicine Man for winning the Congressional Medal of Honor (his words). The person he mentioned actually was awarded a Congressional Freedom Medal (civilian award) and not the Congressional Medal of Honor (military award). Also, military do not consider it "winning" the Congressional Medal of Honor. They are recipients and caretakers of the military's highest honor. Giving a shout out and getting the award wrong and belittling the military's highest award before talking about a tragedy at a military installation is a comedy of errors. This certainly must undermine his standing with the military. |

Did he have any standing with the military before this?

Yeah, his standing was WAY OVER THERE...as far from our military as possible.
