Obama waits allmost 2 minutes into speech before he addresses the Fort Hood tragedy.
That kind of irritates me. I think it should have been the first thing he brought up and could have skiped thanking his cabinet members and people who organized a conferece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkbBPsPSIrA |

I think it is part of being "presidential". He has to say his thanks first....

all i know is i need to get a bullet proof jacket...NO ONE IS SAFE. We can't think that one man in a pretty white house is going to protect any of us when he is to busy protecting his image.

We can't think that one man in a pretty white house is going to protect any of us when he is to busy protecting his image. bullet proof vests aren't all that hard to breech.. they have their weak points.. even so, I don't wait for anyone in any house other than my own to look out for me.. be it this president, the last president or any other president.. Part of living in a free society is the responsibility of being self reliant.. and not waiting for someone else to look out for you. |

Even I will admit that was in poor taste.....but most must realize that he might have done that due to he don't write his speech's. As well as to the fact the intentions were to get the small stuff out of the way quick then focus on what happen. No one is perfect not even the President and his speech writer.
No matter what we do it is bound to upset someone.....

he also doesn't speak from his heart.. if he spoke from his heart he runs the risk of letting the cat out of the bag, that he doesn't give a cold dog turn about out military, that he doesn't give two cold dog turds about stimulating growth, he doesn't give three cold dog turds about protecting our image overseas. all he cares about is trashing us overseas, dismantling and inhibiting our military, destroying its morale, stoking the flames of racism and wiping out the private sector of the economy.. every move he's made for a solid year now has been to those ends.. |
