UPDATED: Shout Outs And Tragedies Don’t Mix

Yesterday, I did not get to see Obama’s statement on the Fort Hood shootings. One of my readers made a comment about it, so I searched for the YouTube clip.

This is rather unbelievable. Did the brother never watch any of his predecessors make these kinds of statements.  Given the mismatch between the two events, didn’t anyone think that Obama should have made two separate statements so as not to mix the moods?

For all the talk about how bright Obama is and how bright his staff is, these people continually make one dumb mistake after another. Geez, how hard is it to figure out that tragedies and shout out don’t mix!

UPDATE: NBC Chicago Notices Too

Obama's behavior must have been really bad for NBC to have noticed.


From NBC Chicago:

But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a "shout-out" to "Dr. Joe Medicine Crow -- that Congressional Medal of Honor winner."  Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?

Who is advising him? Try this line "birds of the same feather flock together"! Obama and his advisors are not the most Pro-American people in the nation, as such you will continue to get incidents like this.
