Has President Obama Been Convinced that Hasan was a Terrorist?

Doesn’t matter. Even with this stuff staring them all straight in the face, political correctness paralyzes them from doing anything. Let’s take a scenario whereby a white soldier has contacts with a white supremist group, and pledges his allegiance to the white race before his country.
Do think *he* would be promoted to Major? Do you think *he* would still be in the army? No, and rightly so, but when it comes to Muslims saying the exact same thing… oh, no… we can’t say anything about that lest we hurt somebody’s feelings.
And 13 people die and two score more wounded. And yet General Casey thinks that losing diversity would be *worse* than what happened.
We may be doomed.

I think Obama did a good job with his speech today, I will give him the benefit of the doubt one more time that his actions will match his words.

Ferrari5858 – Wow… one more time huh..
Where exactly wil you draw the line?
he lied about his associations, his experience, he is destroying our economy, our country all for the sake of power. He jumped to immediate conclusions and called a white cop stupid before he got the whole story but waits days before even giving the impression that he considers a muslim who kills a dozen people to be a terrorist..
How many “actions” do you need to see before you see the truth about this man?

The guy who wrote “Obama is clueless….period” is clueless…..period. Your hero Bush was clueless. President Obama is many times smarter than Bush and twice the president in 1 yr that Bush was in 8.

Perhaps Obama is sympathic to the guy. Everyone deserves a second chance. Just open the gates to Gitmo, prisons and US Borders (sorry, the US Borders are already open). Its just a feeling because everyone’s actions are based on their feelings. Look at the last Presidential election, everyone’s feelings would of been hurt if Obama was not elected. We cannot hurt anyone’s feelings in todays society, that may risk inadequacies on their part. And the result of that would be horrible, perhaps even a lawsuit. Instead do it the new high-tech way – just TEXT it to them.

Another huge loss in this story is the hard work of the mental health professionals who are tarnished by this act of treason and treachery. How difficult will it be for a vet now to go to mental health to deal with personal/stress issues and feel confident in their sincerity to help…and how difficult for these professionals to re-establish credibility with the people they strive to serve. The casualty count of this heinous act will never be completely calculated.

Can this day be about our heros instead of your bigots that have a stupid agenda against the President. This is not your day. The President did a good job honoring our heros today.

Obama did a good job today—he read off a teleprompter. His handlers probably had to muzzle him good after obama showed his true colors again on the day of the shooting as he used the incident to play celebrity, send out shout outs to buds in the audience, pat his loonie administration on the back, and showed no emotion or sorry for the troops murdered at the emergency speech that supposed to be about the shooting. Todays stunt was nothing but a photo opt of a ever lying fraud that now occupies the white house.

dem in chicago, i don’t know who posted the “clueless” comment, but why do you assume he or she is a bush supporter? you do realize that many who are opposed to the obama administration were also opposed to the bush administration, don’t you?

dem in chicago, i forgot to mention that 1.25 million people voted for someone other than obama or mccain in 2008. that’s 1% or 1/100 voters. it’s not insignificant.

“Powerful words, well delivered. From a man who seems convinced that one of America’s own convinced himself to kill on behalf of America’s enemies. And from a President who seems prepared to call for more sacrifice to defeat those enemies.”
*******
George, the words were off a teleprompter. The man was a TERRORIST and Obama doesn’t want to jump to conclusions until we have the facts. He thinks he may have cracked. Cracked from what? PRE-tramatic stress? He had never been in battle, and he was repeatedly promoted, even though he was receiving below standard evaluations, because minorities MUST be promoted.
The news media need to begin REPORTING on this President instead of REPEATING whatever he tells you to.

Yes, I am one who remembers the stories of a father who flew over Europe in WWII and received the Distinguished Flying Cross. I do know classmates killed in Vietnam and a friend’s son killed in Iraq.
Americans all across this country, regardless of our political leanings honor the many generations who have served.
Out of all our President’s comments today, by what twisted logic is any of it a lie or a stunt or disrespectful. Take off your hate glasses.

I only came to this website to see what the liberal loons were saying. I was very surprised thar abc viewers would have a clue what is going on here. Maybe there is hope for this wonderful country. Even if there is no hope for the “fringe” Media.

WW1 & WW11 was fought over there, so that it would Not Come, overhere. Think about it.

Please, enlighten us. What for-profit entertainment jock told you this? And how was our President’s speech at Fort Hood somehow “racist”?

Rememeber Obama is a celebrity and does not really know how to handle anything that comes up. Just check Illinois votes when he was in congress. Most votes were present. What does that tell you.

Larry | Nov 10, 2009 7:02:50 PM
Larry, an “I.U.D.” is an intrauterine device, a contraceptive. “I.E.D.” is an improvised explosive device. Having trouble understanding your point.

I don’t know what President Obama is thinking, but I’m thinking that in addition to being a very sick man, the shooter is indeed a terrorist. Anyone who wants to kill Americans, in my book, is a terrorist. And I don’t care what race or religion they are. I think President Obama delivered a really good speech. But, then, I support our Commander-in-Chief and I feel he is a very intelligent man and an eloquent speaker.

P.S. To ‘Honoring Our Heroes’: I agree with every word you said! Thanks!

Obama might have finally figured out that Hasan is a terrorist. I also believe Teleprompter has figured out that Obama is a moron.

Who reads extemporaneously, name one president who has given an entire or part of a speech with notes, or cue cards? Obama uses a teleprompter instead of reading from a sheaf of papers.. You haters of Obama take your cues from the Limbaughs and Becks mindlessly pitch the same crap. If you people had any sense you would know Obama’s policies are more in your interest than those of multi-millionaire hatemongers.

Even on an occasion like this you pathetic loosers can’t find even the single grain of decency in yourselves necessary to let you act like civil, decent, rational adults. If the U.S. is indeed “doomed” as one of you has said here, it is not because of Obama or the Liberals, it is because of you and your over inflated egos.

You are an idiot for asking such a question. Does it matter whether he thinks the man is a terrorist or not? The fact is that Hassan committed an atrocious act. Period.

BO IS CLUELESS! I hope he changes his hopey changey thing I hope. I hope things will change soon I hope. I hope the changes made will bring hope and change. A lot of good my comments are doing, get the drift. Actions mean everything hope is for people who sit on the couch and do nothing.

okay…Obama has inherited..the LAST EIGHT YEARS!! He is supposed to fix everything not now but yesterday. People!!! what do you want….!??! compared to most of you (as proven by your inane and hateful comments) Obama has more intelligence in his little finger than you have in your entire brain…so wake up, watch some documentaries about how this whole mess happened and read some books! educate yourselves, raise your consciousness!! you can do it! and please…stop the stupid hateful comments…go out and do something for someone…yeah, maybe even a Muslim…

There are some pretty sick people in this comment section. President Obama made an incredibly good speech today. He honored the Dead and praised our soldiers. I have seen a face of the Republican Party in these comments that disgrace the likes of John McCain, Colin Powell, Ronald Reagan. This new face of the Republican Party repulses me

If he does believe it watch the white house try to downplay it.
A terrorist(acting alone or not) attacking a military base on US soil and succeeding in killing a dozen people and over thirty others does not bode well for his anti terror strategy.
It gives him a political headache of political scale.
Except for their most ardent fans or supporters it looks B A D bad for this new ‘feel good’ Democrat administration and their cheer leader congress men and women.
No one even has to mention how many times Cheney said the US is less safe now. THAT is the 300 lb elephant in the room.
How is that for inconvenient truth?

In support of the President, military, FBI, Homeland Security and all others STILL investigating this attack: give them time to FINISH the investigation.
Just because no one is ready to officially declare motivation does NOT mean they are stupid, hiding something, or want to somehow justify what Hasan did.
We Americans are spoiled in that we think we have the right to know every little step in an investigation. Please remember: the enemy will also hear what we hear. That is usually a very BAD thing during and ONGOING investigation.

Historically, Christianity came to power under Caesar Augustus Constantine when he figured out it was much cheaper to pay the troops in salvation than money. That farce is still going on today, see above.
Considering that the United States just lost WWII to Toyota, Daimler Benz and Fiat, what did the “Great War” really prove? Why would Hasan have been such a marvelous hero if he’d have just waited a few months and shot up a bunch of people in Afghanistan?
Any one who thinks this is not a Holy War is nuts! While Ala is guarantying 52 virgins in heaven, what is our God offering? Eternity with Jerry Falwell? I don’t know what you call that, but it sure ain’t heaven to me! The problem with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and a life for a life is that it will eventually leave the entire world blind, toothless and dead. Is that really such a good deal?
We amend the Constitution all the time. Why not amend the Bill of Rights to say that the three unalienable rights are Life, Liberty & High Def Television with Free High Speed Internet Access? Now there’s a way to end the jihad and convert people of all faiths to our side!

“what is our God offering? Eternity with Jerry Falwell? ”
———
Not sure what ‘god’ you are talking about, but God Almighty offers eternal life in His presence….and that is definitely Heaven to me.
As for Jerry Falwell, I don’t know what his relationship is to God, but just based on what I’ve SEEN and HEARD, Jerry needs to clean up his act (if he hasn’t already) or he won’t get to Heaven at all.

I’ve often wondered: what do Muslim women get? I’ve considered asking my Muslim co-workers, but don’t want to offend them.

So, pana, it’s your belief that unless a citizen either agrees with a sitting POTUS or actually has been the president, they do not have a right to express their opinion. Is that what you mean?
If so, you are in the wrong country. That’s not how this great nation works. All Americans have the right to express their opinions openly, honestly, and without fear of oppression or censorship.
You do not get to play censor. So keep posting your opinions, but understand that those you disagree with can do the same.

Everyone in America needs to rent:

It goes into detail why these acts are commited and gives a detailed history of the faith from interviews with acamedics and former jihadists.
Rent it and educate yourself America.

Politically correct massacre brought to you courtesy of Political Correctness, Uncle Sams idiotic policies that are deviod of any and all common sense, and of course….The Religion of “Peace”.
Enough already.
Bring common sense back in fashion in America. Demand it from your deaf politicians now.

Hasan own words and action condemn him as a terrorist. Obama will do his best to have the matter fit into his warped world view.
I for one ain’t buying his crap. The man is in way over his head.
Weak. Weak and stupid.

There is very little doubt that this act was due to the Islamic religion, which is demonstrating its dangerous nature in so many parts of today’s world.
This religion will become the basis for WWIII, in the not too distant future.

I am outraged by this very tragedy, our military has been infiltrated by these fanatic muslims. Lets not marginalize these folks obama, you know they are more loyal to the koran and its teachings than to our country and what we stand for. America please wake up and lets all stand together by first start voting these people out of office and put those who hold our values and morals and believe in the true God of the bible, that is JESUS CHRIST, the ONLY Lord and Savior of this world. You never see a muslim go out there and try to help out people who are devasted by disasters, only Christian churches are out there in the front line.

“You never see a muslim go out there and try to help out people who are devasted by disasters, only Christian churches are out there in the front line.”
———–
Toey, I am a very devout Christian, but I must correct you on this statement. I personally know several Muslims who are always ready and willing to help anyone and everyone regardless of race or religion.
Please don’t lump all Muslims into the extremist camp. It is insulting to decent, law-abiding Muslims and embarrassing for Christians to have you claim such a thing.

Hasan a Major in the American Army Military during the entire time of Bush who was the head of our Pentagon as Commander in Chief. For the past 8 years Major Hasan has had contacts with people on the FBI’s ‘Watch List’. For the past 8 years Major Hasans’ views were known by some people in the American Military yet there were no ‘Red Flags’.
For the past 8 years both the FBI and Homeland Security were watching the activities and listening to communications by the people on their ‘Watch List’ yet there were no ‘Red Flags’.
So the FBI and the Homeland Security had to know about the communications, yet there were no ‘Red Flags’.
What about all those other in our American Armed Forces, both at home and abroad, who also for the past 8 years had the ‘Anti American’ views like Major Hasan and have had the communications with those on the FBI’s ‘Watch List’ yet no ‘Red Flags’ have gone up about them.
Many have the nerve to blame Obama, yet it was obvious and allowed to continue during the Bush administration for 8 years. Just like everything else they do, Republicans always ‘Passing the Buck’ instead of admitting their mistakes.

At least he in not a traitor or a coward… Let’s recall who started two wars (one for oil/money) – oh that’s right the TWO REPUBICAN LEADERS CALLED BUSH AND CHENEY… Cheney is a COWARD and traitor because he asked for FIVE deferments so he did not spend one day fighting the Vietnam War; he also outted a COVENT CIA AGENT FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES THAT MAKES HIM A TRAITOR TO ALL AMERICANS!!!! BUSH IS A COWARD BECAUSE WELL HIS DADDY GOT HIM ALL HIS JOBS INCLUDING RIGGING THE SUPREME COURT TO ANNOINT HIM PRESIDENT – HE IS A TRAITOR BECAUSE HE STARTED A WAR KNOWING THAT IRAQ DID NOT HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, HE SENT INNOCENT AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN IN HARMS WAY, SOME TO DIE – FOR WHAT??? NONBID GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS??? OIL??? BOTH??? YES!!!!

Oh, and to all that blindly believe this is all President Bush’s fault:
The attacks of 9/11/2001 happened LESS than 9 months after he took office. And yet far-left loonies INSIST he should have known and stopped it.
The attack at Ft. Hood happened MORE than 10 months after President Obama took office. But I, a conservative Republican, do NOT blame President Obama.
Both were Presidents, people; they are NOT involved in the daily activities of every single federal employee!
Who is the more tolerant one: me or you?

Malcat – Glad to read you consider yourself “tolerant” because you don’t believe President Obama was responsible for the Ft. Hood attack. Nice to also read you think this issue is a tad more complex than simply blaming all Muslims.
But, I have to agree with Valerie on one point: Our economy was in fact destroyed over the past decade, mostly because of Republican supply side economic policies: outsourced jobs, tax cuts for the wealthy few, and deregulation. As one owner of a small business, we could feel the effects back in 2007, now marked by the National Bureau of Economic Research as the beginning of this current recession.
Recessions don’t magically appear out of nowhere. It has taken many years of policies focused on overspending on war, an economy based on spending, and relaxed banking controls for our economy to reach this point.

After the health care plan that Polosi and her crooks got pass the house. The new POLL shows that 48% of voters will not vote for the dems. 48% GOP 44% dems
We told you that there was going to be a back lash and the dems will suffer. Its to late for them even if they kill the bill. They are out

“Nice to also read you think this issue is a tad more complex than simply blaming all Muslims.”
—-
And CenterOne, I happen to think what happened at Ft Hood is way more than a ‘tad’ more complex.
I had hoped when this story first broke that it was something like ‘employee rage’; one person. I shudder to think there may be far more to this than that; and it definitely is looking that way.
I have family stationed there. Our family was lucky. The attack on Ft Hood will never be just a political issue. It strikes at the very core of our military and their safety.

Big difference as you know full well that Obama was not in the military prior to becoming PRESIDENT.
Exactly my point, Melanie. You called Cheney a coward because he wasn’t in the military. President Obama apparently did not feel it necessary to serve either. Guess he felt being a community organizer was enough.

And Melanie, unless you have possibly broken into federal and/or military records, you have no way of KNOWING exactly why Mr. Cheney did not serve. I don’t know either. Maybe he was a coward. Maybe he just didn’t want to kill someone for a war he did not believe in….like many feel today.
As for VietNam, I know all about the draft and draft dodgers. I also know about the many ‘brave’ Americans who spit on our warriors when they came home. Most of them were liberals.
And I also know about the grief and pain when loved ones die in any war. I’ve cried over too many flagged-draped coffins not to know.
Please stop demonizing people because of their mistakes or just because they don’t agree with you. I don’t want to fight with you. But I will not stand by while people accuse others when they have NO proof.
For instance, it has never been proven that Cheny or Bush were involved in the release of the CIA operative’s name. I hope they weren’t. But if it is ever proven, then I will join you in the hate…then. My cousin died as a CIA operative…they also serve just as our military do.

Now you are calling me insane because I support my views with FACTS… who is the loser – YOU!!!
BTW – I come from a military family too… where we are PROUD to serve and enlist!!!!

“…You have got to seek help for this rage, prejudice and bigotry.”
Posted by: malcat | Nov 11, 2009 1:01:29 PM
You claim to be in the military and you write to people you don’t know on a public blog with different views saying this… you are not in the military – not active anyway…

Melanie, so what? He didn’t want to serve. That does not automatically mean he was a coward.
Many men did not want to serve in the military. Many of those were afraid; but many also had other reasons.
Remember Cassius Clay..aka Mohommad Ali the ‘wonderful’ boxer. He was granted deferment for religious reasons, he hated violence. This man routinely beat other men for money! I can’t decide if he was a coward or just a greedy @$$#***.
Let me return you to our President. There is no draft that is true, but he COULD have volunteered. But he didn’t even though our nation has been at war for years. Is he a coward? I don’t know so I’m not going to call him one.
You quoted what is public record about Cheney. My statement was that you could not KNOW exactly WHY. You have the dates and media-produced facts. But you do not know how Mr. Cheney thought and felt.
You may well be right. But it’s not fair to accuse someone of something (being a coward) when all you know is he didn’t serve.
Our nation is founded on laws and principles. One of the most valuable and essential to our freedom is ‘innocent until proven guilty’. Proven, not suspected, not even if we think we know because of the obvious facts.
Concerning Hasan. I want him to have the best defense team possible. I want all law enforcement officials to be absolutely perfect in protecting his rights. I want the trial judge to rule the court with an iron fist. I want all that so when he is found guilty there will be no grounds for appeal. Then we can shoot him!

No Melanie, I am no longer active. I am 59 and a cancer survivor. But I currently have 10 family members scattered around the globe serving in the various military branches…4 in Iraq, 3 in Afghanistan. I’d have to check the family chart to see where the rest are except for one at Ft. Hood.
I thought you were from a military family but wasn’t sure. That explains somewhat your resentment towards Cheney.
My plea for you to seek help was out of concern for you. You deserve to be happy; why spend so much energy hating?
Cheny is old news…let him go.
Gotta get to work. God bless you and your family. I hope they are safe.

Obama has truly made the Obama-Nation an abomination.
Over spent
Over Controlling
Overbearing
It is a shame we have lost the country I grew up in. First we were over exposed to TV Trash of sex and mayhem, losing the one earner family that let the wife stay home and do the very hard work of raising the children and making a family. Then we were dummied down and then over populated and finally over immigrated. AND finally over whelmed with Political correctness and ended up with a country that is not only weal redistributed in the name of equality but so much in debt that we cannot even defend our own jobs with borders being flooded by products that our own citizens could build if union wages and greedy executives did not make this un-competitive. So now everyone is either out of work out of their home or running out of hope and belief in America.
But we don’t go ballistic and commit crimes no we keep trying and praying.

I guess if President Obama sounded like a cowboy it would make some so-called Americans happy. I believe he was sincere and coming from the legal field, he knows best to try to seak from facts and not emotion. I believe after their investigations and roundups Americans will find the truth.

They are focused on Hasan now. I sure hope they are on a mindset to re-evaluate others they had dismissed that are an equal are worse threat.

Obama is the biggest clown prince ever. Does he even know what a terrorist is?

I had been listening to you all, about Fort Hood. I /we will pray for them all. They are truly honored in our books. But what I do can to hear is, HOw our surposed leaders in the field of security ever go in. They could not find a bee in a hornets. Unless it sung them. We need folks who can spot these Little things and act on them. The so called FBI, is time to regroup and get young blood in there. Ones who see these keys and look for the varments. Every time that a thing such as this goes up. They all start to point the finger. NOT ME> NOT I, than WHOM. We need to police up this agancies and fire all the dead weight. Maybe we will be lucky to find a few Good men and Women that can think. Save this country of ours. When I was a Marine for over 30yrs, 8das. When had a motto, “IT IS NOT HE BIG THINGS THAT GET YOU KILLED, BUT THE LITTLE THINGS WE OVER LOOK. Start looking. Not under you bed. Get out there an do your job. We did ourds.
Thank God.

You can not compare the military of today with the military of the past. Especially the one’s who served in the second World War. These men and women fought for a reason and if we would have lost that war we would all be speaking German, at least the one’s that were blonde haired and blue eyed. What is our military fighting for now? Don’t tell me it is for my freedom because I know that is just a lie. We need to get all of our military personnel out of the middle east and stop letting them be killed for nothing. As for the Ft. Hood incident, people snap everyday and if this person was on a “LIST” of people to be watched, then I blame our government once again for not stopping this henious action from taking place.Once again, they knew but did nothing until it was too late. Is there something wrong here or is it just me? Once a person attains a certain level do they just step off the accountability ladder and start throwing the accountability at someone else? What is wrong with these people in power? Why can’t anyone see through this smoke screen. They use the idea of freedom and patriotism to snooker people into believing that our military is going the right thing. Why do we, as Americans just continue to acept this and believe that everything is ok? I just don’t understand the “putting our heads in the sand” and waiting for things to get better attitude. Can no one use thier heads for something besides wearing a hat anymore?

The relation between west and east has to change:
1- The west has to stop wars
2- The Iraqi war caused mistrust.
3- Christianity ans Islam call for
tolerance
4- why is America fightihg for
5- Why do not America consider a Tolerant policy.
6- Why has there been divisions in Iraq
7- THe Muslim Americans have nothing to do with those wars
8- In general the American Muslims has to be considered equal ro any other minority
9- President Obama who is quite aware of this situation needs to be caring about the Muslim’s condition without perference to a minority over the other
President Obama has to establish a committee of Muslim American consultants who guide him to end such hatred towards them,
Dr. Hamed Al Wahab, VP Global Tolerance Council, USA

What is pathetic is that despite the MOUNTAIN of immediate evidence that this was an Islamic Jihadist attack, despite the long, long track record of Hasan’s virulent support of sui-homicide terror attacks verbally and on a website and the fact that the government had been trailing him for 3-months, the “authorities” kept putting out statements that they were “seeking a motive.” Were these people crazy?? As if this wasn’t enough, he was uttering the Islamic Death Chant Allahu Akbar as he was pulling the trigger slaughtering people. Obama was LAME from the start, referring to referred to these “senseless” acts of violence. But there WERE NOT SENSELESS!!! Jihadists have a PURPOSE, a goal of murder for Allah. Nothing senseless at all for them. They are not crazy, they are driven by their perceived Koranic mandate. When will our world STOP trying to appease the Islamic world??? If they are offended, let them clean up their lethal acts. Obama initially as if there was no connection with Islamic ideology. But then, he is so desperate to be loved by the Islamic world that he has given Iran months and months of extra time to race to a nuclear bomb, while bashing our supposed ally Israel. Where the heck are the priorities of this administration, if any??? Is it waiting for a radiological bomb attack upon Western societies?? Wake up, America.
