Just Clueless
Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 5:20 PM
As Garrett points out below, Robert A. George makes some good points in discussing President Obama's incredibly dismissive initial reaction to yesterday's shootings at Fort Hood.

Today, the President tried it again.  Sadly, the results weren't much better.  Speaking this morning, President Obama's main message to an American public reeling from this act of mass murder was an admoninition to avoid "jumping to conclusions before we have all the facts."

Now, it's refreshing to see how much the President has learned since his own display of "jumping to conclusions" last summer, when the matter concerned his friend, Professor Gates, and Gates' allegations of racism against a white police officer. 

But with the warning about "jumping to conclusions" this morning, we all know what Obama's really saying here: Look, you bigots, don't start making the ugly assumptions you're prone to making, just because the killer was Muslim

It's all very reminiscent of a few of the nitwits in the wake of 9/11, whose primary (and unjustified) concern seemed to be that a bunch of haters would immediately start lynching anyone of Arab descent in this county in response to the attacks on America.

And it's remarkable how little insight this President has about the true nature of the country he leads, does he?

His own transparency
The fact that he called for not 'jumping to conclusions' shows what he was thinking. He just never knows when to be quiet. Innuendo is such an ingrained part of his messages and this is no different.
Is he really going to Walter Reed to meet with the troops or to is he really going to get information about Hasan's time there? Yes, this is a legitimate question given his recent photo ops related to the troops - he is transparent and it shows he is only interested in himself.

Obama The Dumbest President Ever,,,,,
Obama showed his racism during the nutty professor episode by jumping to conclusions.Besides yelling Allah Akbar this muslim murderer also posted on a blog that suicide bombers were no different than an American soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save his buddies.Some comparision,murdering unsuspecting women and children or trying to save the lives of you friends.

He made numerous comments about how the United States didn't belong in Iraq or Afganistan.To many American soldiers are dying from so called friendly muslims.
Lonny writes: Friday, November, 06, 2009 6:54 PM
why is it that thread after
thread on this site is about the same claptrap? Does Carol never look to see whether some other rightwinger has used that morning's distributed talking points?

It will kill you when Obama goes to the base, is hugged and accepted by the military families (he didn't shoot their loved ones, and he didn't send them over to Iraq on a wild goose chase for non-existent WMD), and gets to give a speech that shows compassion for the dead and wounded, and for those of our fellow citizens who are law abiding muslims.

Lonny try to grasp just some
of the content of these "threads." In your dreams will Captain Obumbles be met with "hugs and kisses." You see, Lonny, the rest of the people, yourself excepted, recognize Captain Obumbles for what he is a rank amateur incapable of learning because his ego will not allow even the suggestion of "lack of knowledge" hence the amateur hour especially seen in this awful incident. The man has all the sincerity of a Gila Monster!

no, the majority of Americans polled want a public OPTION. They like Obama. Even in NJ and VA, they like Obama more than the Dems who lost.

You are the ones, the 5% of our population who hate the poor, hate minorities, hate just about everyone who isn't just like you (and who doesn't think it is still 1947 when the white men ran the world), who are wrong.

The Majority of Americans DO NOT WANT the public (taxpayer burden) option. Try READING some official websites and stop listening to the little blurbs from the SSM.
You may be in that 5% who who don't mind standing in lines to get something for nothing but the rest of the country is ready and willing to work for what they get and would rather have their FREEDOM to choose.

guess we'll soon see which one of us is correct.

Perhaps if the GOP during the time it controlled Congress had tried to do something about pre-existing conditions and other insurance company games, they could have stopped the groundswell for a public option.

Don't you understand the word option, by the way? It means you don't have to take it.

DEMOCRATS SHOWING TRUE COLORS

Governor Announces Historic Partnership with ATF to Trace Illegal Firearms
For Immediate Release
August 15th, 2007 Contact Office of the Governor
609-777-2600

TRENTON - Governor Jon S. Corzine, along with Special Agent in Charge of the Philadelphia division of the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Mark Potter, Attorney General Anne Milgram and New Jersey State Police Superintendent Colonel Rick Fuentes today announced a historic agreement between New Jersey and the ATF that will allow the state to more effectively trace the sources of illegal firearms through real-time electronic access to the ATF's e-Trace system.

It is not an 'option' if you are fined for non-compliance.
Did you confuse my post with another? I never 'blamed' anyone particular admin for any 'problems' with healthcare. As for the pre-ex clauses, pre-ex conditions do not always mean denial of coverage and there are always companies willing to write a plan although it costs more just as when you apply for auto insurance and choose your level of coverage and they check to see if you are a risk due to accidents.
We will see how far they get with shoving this through and then we will see how fast it is repealed after the elections in November 2010.

The murderer was a jihad terrorist who
had infiltrated our military. It is time that the Pentagon begins to identify them and separate them from the service.
Bill writes: Friday, November, 06, 2009 10:31 PM
Stop being racist!
It's amazing that when Rush calls this clown a "manchild," libs start saying it's code for racism, yet Obama keeps fulfilling the label so appropriately.

But saying that must be racist because I'm not fawning over BO.

Forget the presidency; this guy has a boatload to learn about life.

Ronna writes: Friday, November, 06, 2009 11:34 PM
THIS WAS AN ACT OF TERRORISM
but Obamao will never admit he. he will, however stand with the Muslims should the poltical winds shift in an ugly direction. Too bad he woun't go to Afghanistan or Iraq and become a suicide bomber for his comrades

Ronna. Obama is a wuss. He would never endanger himself in any way. He lacks the testicular fortitude to stand up for our nation. He needs to go down one way or the other. I hate his politics and the power given to his sorry Mack Daddy A$s.

Chris: Bill O'Reilly has a poll
asking which Republican do you believe can beat Obama in 2012? Even though I supported Mitt Romney in the last election I voted for Palin.

Perhaps Palin will choose Mitt as her running mate. Palin / Romney sounds good to me.

Fine w/ me.

Problem is:

You got that right. What Obamao LACKS in fortitude and courage, he shoves down we Americans' throats in spades...(pardon -or not- the pun.)

Carefully weigh the evidence
Detective Flanagan: "There's a pool of blood on the floor. Several heads are inside the freezer. There are butcher knives with Dahmer's fingerprints all over them stuck inside the bodies in his bedroom. Dahmer has a human liver hanging out of his mouth and he told the responding officer that he just LOVES to eat people."

Obama: "Well, let's not jump to any conclusions..."
L.J. writes: Saturday, November, 07, 2009 10:45 AM
OMG!!!
Gasp!! How Shocking!!!! Don't jump to conclusions before you know the facts!! What a concept!!

What blasphemy!!!

Obama should be more like the Super-Moron Racist Pygs that make up the 5% of American that call themselves "Conservatives" -- which is the new name for the Klan.

So....should we have imprisoned all teenagers who are or think they are Goth after Columbine?

Should we have imprisoned all Christians after Timothy McVeigh's horrific act?

Should we have imprisoned all Koreans after VA Tech?

A 12 year old has more intelligence and cognitive ability than you losers.

The radical Marxist revolutionary
who has spent his entire life with radical Marxist revolutionaries is as clueless about the country as he is about all other reality....as clueless as Lonny. Of course his first reaction is to prevent us from waking up to the danger of the jihadists in our midst. The terrorist arm CAIR is being interviewed as though they are just some civil rights group.

Instead of going to the mosques frequented by this traitor to find out which Saudi cleric has been radicalizing him the FBI is making the preposterous claim Islam has nothing to do with this. Meanwhile the Marxist media prattles on about PTSD. The mediot talking heads all KNOW everyone in the Army is a borderline sociopath.

The moment I heard of this incident, I "jumped to the conclusion" the perpetrator was a Muslim. Millions of Americans did also. We were all correct.

Major Hasan is a native born American. His actions were treason. Any American Muslim whose allegiance lies with the cult of Mohammed worship rather than his country is also a traitor.

That is right Vlad. That is how they do it in their nations. So should we. Only a lib idiot like you would invite a bunch of serial murderers into our nation and bow before them.
I would round up all the peaceful ones and ship them back and gut the rest like the fish they are. They are not human! Just evil animals worthy of extermination. We don't want them here. They better get out or be killed! This is our freedom and liberty and not theirs. They die to destroy it and we die to preserve it. See how it works, idiot?
