From Kevin McCollough's blog (and I agree):
"Reports have surfaced that the administration is refusing to look at the shooting at Ft. Hood as a possible act of Islamic terror. This despite the fact that the prime shooter in the case is historically documented with Islamic jihadist ramblings on internet pages. The simple question is this, if these reports turn out to be true, should we demand the resignation of the responsible parties? Even if the chain of communication goes all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? 800.345.9622."

Another thing about this case, and one that should cause every American to question the character of this President, is his inability to display any solidarity with either our troops risking their lives on the battlefield or those who are presently reeling from this Islamist's attack from within their ranks at home.
While the community of soldiers at Ft. Hood are grieving and have to be asking the questions crossing the minds of ALL Americans concerned with their security -Are there any more Arabic descent soldiers who will be swayed by some understanding of their roles as Muslims to commit similar acts?- this president remains detached, aloof, nonchalant, and defiant in his determination to distance himself from those who operate on the front lines of the war of Islamic aggression being waged against our country from without- and now from within our own ranks.
What kind of President would not have already, and immediately, suspended all scheduled business to attend to the soldiers on that base in person- knowing how much power would be in that gesture alone? - "I am here, I came to stand by you and stand with you. I assure you that no stone will be left unturned; no question go unasked; and no amount of effort will be spared to get to the bottom of this and to make sure that something like this will never be allowed to happen to our brave men and women who spearhead our nation's defense!"
Not this President- not Barack Hussein Obama. In Illinois, he was known to vote "present" more than any other Senator. Here, he pretends to not even have a vote...or a role to play at all. That's his first dereliction of duty.
What President, knowing the questions and concerns that are roiling in the minds and souls of the American people—some who even have sons and daughters and grandchildren stationed at Ft. Hood and other military bases throughout the country and throughout the world—would maintain such an aloofness as to not find it necessary to address the American people in a formal way; speaking to them about what is taking place in the way of getting to the bottom of this situation? A situation in our military vetting policies and decision-making which allowed for a Muslim soldier who time-and-time again gave every indication of the psychological and spiritual difficulty he was having in carrying out his role as a high-ranking member of the U.S. Armed Forces to continue to be promoted; rather than immediately removed from active duty—transferred from Walter Reed Army Hospital—to interact on one of our nation’s most front line bases with the very individuals whose mission and actions in Iraq & Afghanistan he was well- known to be having difficulty in reconciling with as legitimate.
This President –in an unprecedented display of insensitivity; an apparent lack of common decency; and with no apparent understanding of the role that is his by virtue of being the sitting President of these United States—instead of addressing the nation as is any President’s solemn duty to do—has sought to detach himself from the semblance of any responsibility to address us at all. Dereliction of duty number two.
This incident—this terrorist attack against unarmed soldiers in garrison—committed by a man who was allowed to wear the uniform of our Army while openly harboring and voicing such resentment against the very cause for which those who wear it are enlisted—is not a tragedy—it is a travesty against all that is America and most glaringly against our Armed Service members. Equally a travesty, is Barack Hussein Obama being their so-called Commander-in-Chief.
It is not enough to dispatch Eric Holder’s FBI investigators to “clean up the mess” while the President remains engaged in –and only concerned with—twisting the arms of reticent Congressmen to shove his latest socialist takeover down the throats of an unwilling public. What could possibly be more important than making his presence felt at our latest Ground Zero. Fort Hood is Ground Zero today. And no amount of denial and false labeling will convince us that it’s not. This was America’s second Islamic terrorist attack since Barack Obama took office. When the first occurred in April at the Army Recruiting Center in Little Rock—he said nothing. The second occurred on November 5th 2009 and he does nothing.
Rather, he seemed to be perturbed that it spoiled his speech and ‘shout outs’ in apologizing—once again—for America’s insensitivity to American Indian tribal leaders—only giving time to make the most cursory of comments, masked as condolences—before resuming his latest tabulation of America’s evils.
That this President—Barack Hussein Obama—has displayed neither the will nor the leadership to confront this issue and speak to it—to the world and to the citizen of this nation to at least give the appearance of leadership—is an abomination; a travesty; and a national disgrace.
No…no…no. Not “God damn America….”
God damn Barack Hussein Obama.
This, above all else he has shown, should be proof-positive, that Barack Hussein Obama is not one of us—and that whatever he is—he does not have America’s best interests at heart.
Barack Hussein Obama—the most disgraceful, unqualified, and anti-American President in American history.
