Dan Riehl checks the President's schedule and learns that Obama's not going to Fort Hood, but rather to Camp David for the weekend. In an update, Dan notes that his predecessor is more sensitive to the situation.
That Dancing with the Indians conference must have really worn the poor guy out so much he can't spare time to comfort the survivors of the jihadi Major's massacre.
Update: Obama now plans to visit Ft. Hood Tuesday for the memorila service. We're glad he could squeeze it in sometime this week, just to show how much he cares.

That is OK a real (ex)president already saw the troops at Ft. Hood .

Rahm hasn't figured out how to use this crisis to their advantage. When he does, then obama will do as he's told.
liberal viewpoint
When is Obama going to get it or does he. The answer really doesn't matter. He can't win anything the system is rigged for failure. Middle class taxpayers are the only ones able to keep the system running. They have the money and the time to work at it. They are responsible for who gets the job. SO when you take their money and spend it for junk you better have a damn good reason or your out. Obama is afraid of many things and is frozen by the fear in his heart of going out a true and utter failure.
EZ2C
That is what a Commander-in-Chief (yes, even an ex. as G.W. Bush did) would do, by visiting the wounded. Where is Obama???? This person who was elected President and also Commander-in-Chief is becoming more transparent and aloof every day. Lack of action and response speaks very loudly. We elected a dud.
liberal viewpoint
Obama is a very troubled man. 12 months on the job, and terror fills his heart. Not the terror you might think. Obama is frozen by his out of touch with reality approach to decision making. He would rather talk than act. Talking heads are busy putting in their take on this guy. The conventional wisdom is this guy has trouble understanding how to get along during dissent, has others fight his battles for him and ducks for cover when his opponent won't cede the point.
Question is:::: Aren't his hands really tied because of the way the system is constructed? And did he knows this before he asked for the job?
BamaCop
He will find a way to make THIS about him too. You know like he did with the news conference where he came out and thanked all the folks for coming to some stupid conference he was at, before he went on to say that 12 service members had been shot in Texas. It was more important to point out his activities than to speak about a terrorist attack.

Meanwhile, Bush is enjoying his 9th year of vacation.

TurkSST, you are so 30 minutes ago.
Jim in JAX
Better than the 9 months of socialism under Obama.
joeyblueyes
TURKSHT ,BUSH HAS DONE MORE TO IMPROVE WHILE ON VACATION , THAN THE KENYAN, WHO IS TRYING TO GET A FASCIST STATE IN 1 YEAR.
Vetgal
In June, when the abortion doctor was shot, he came out against 'right wing extremists. In June, when a recruiter was shot in Arkansas by a Muslim, he barely acknowledged it. That's 2 attacks on our troops, on American soil, this situation is unacceptable
funsailing
yyes
*FauxNewz*
lol. President Bush spent more time on vacation than any other president in american history. Lol, look at the pot calling the kettle black.
Henri
What I find amazing about you folks is your willingness to believe that the President doesn't have the best interests of the country at heart. I believe that President Bush will go down in history as one of the worst presidents in history, even worse than his distant relative Franklin Pierce. In spite of this I never questioned that he did what he THOUGHT was in the best interest of the country. He just didn't have a clue about what was good for the country.
joeyblueyes
IN 1 YEAR OBITLA, YOUR IDOL, HAS RUINED THIS COUNTRY, AND THE MUSLIM AND THIEF HAS 3 MORE YEARS. HE COULDN'T MAKE A PIMPLE ON A PRESIDENTS @$$, IN CLUDING GEORGE BUSH. WE ALL KNOW YOUR A BROWN SHIRT DOLT, AND YOUR SHIRT MATCHES YOUR DRAWS
imsteph555
Again with the Bush Bashing?
Can't the left justify ANYTHING that their boy (yes I DID say it!) does and is doing without bringing Bush into the picture!
Have you READ anything that is in that shameful excuse for healthcare reform!?
HAVE YOU NOT LISTENED AND SEEN his policies and proceedures and his plans for FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA???
LET'S NOT go into the fact that he is still on the campaign trail spending our tax dollars with ever trip!! With no regard what-so-ever to the frivolousness.
HAS HE HEARD of a phone? Conference call? Web Cam?
OR thought of inviting anyone TO the White House?
Remember when the bog wigs from other countries came TO US and not the other way around? I guess the 2009 appology tour took care of that!
UN Climate BULLSH**---making the UNITED STATES subject to an arbitrary world wide committee! That is treasonous.
And doen't even get me started on his appointees! From Mafia tactics to plain out and out fascism....
Hank-you have no clue.
bobbieann
Henri: 'tis YOU who are gullible, if you think he's got the best interest of the country at heart. In case it slipped your notice, he is the Commander in Chief, and as such, SHOULD BE VISITING THE WOUNDED. He shows more concern for the terrorists than he does the Americans he's got a duty to protect.
MDJim
In what way, bobbieann, does he show more concern for the terrorists?
Henri
That's just silly. He will visit the victims and the victims at the appropriate time (at the service). Your comment regarding terrorists is simply reprehensible.
petef
Thank God for Bush, at least he made the visit, tells you who cares more about the troops. Heck you can tell how much BO cares by the way he is listening to his hand picked General in Afghanistan, McCrystal. What a joke.
Henri
Trivia question. How can you distinguish a lie from an outrageous lie in a Faux Nation headline? Outrageous lies are always presented in the form of a Cavuto question. All you have to do is say something really outrageous just put it in the form of a question and you can then you can disingenuously insist that you didn't actually say it you were simply asking a question. Let me give you an example: "Is the former Governor of Alaska giving $1.00 tuggers behind the 30 lanes bowling center in Wasilla?"
juniper
This pretender to the presidency has brought us to an all-time low in our history. God help this country, and help us get Osamabama IMPEACHED NOW!!! And get him out of office so we can get back on the right path once again
Henri
You people are so gullible. Obama announced he was going to the memorial service on Tuesday BEFORE the weekend. What was he going to do there this weekend? Help out in the investigation.
Major_Skidmark
He's too busy taking advantage of this crisis and will be abolishing the 2nd Amendment. Guns are just too dangerous. If you think about speaking up he will be doing the same to the 2nd Amendment. Words are VERY dangerous.
MDJim
Like I said before - Kreskin, Nostradamus, Criss Angel all rolled into one. Amazing how you all can predict the future and 'know' what people are going to do.

Sorry I hit the button so many times. I guess I'm just a dumb 'ol redneck just like the the progressives say I am. I'm giving my degree back to the college, selling my nice home, and gettin me a trailer.

Isn't it great having a president that identifies with our sworn enemies more than he does all us yucky conservative teabaggers? We are the bad guys just like Bill Ayers said. Right? He sure kissed our butts when he needed votes didn't he.

GOUND OBAMA TO MAJOR TOM
Genjiro
Coming to Texas just is not his priority. Jumping on AF One to Copenhagen for the Olympics for a fews hours was his priority. He doesn't even find the time to go to Berlin for their celebration of the wall coming down. Too bad, he could have learned something from the President who actually was a President, Reagan, when they showed the video of his speech. You get your character from the actions you do, Obama is not just lacking character, it is totally absent.
Proud CA Conservative
That's a very good point, Genjiro - why wasn't it a priority to fly to Europe to help celebrate the demolition of the Berlin Wall? Oh, wait - maybe it's because that runs counter to his Marxist/Communist sympathies to celebrate the fall of tyranny. It was so much easier to jump onboard AF One and make a whirlwind stop in Copenhagen when it meant beaucoup bucks for his corrupt Chicago cronies. Ft. Hood creates a crisis of conscience where he will have to condemn the actions of his Muslim brother.
joeyblueyes
OBITLA WILL DEFINATELY VISIT THE FREEDOM FIGHTER, THE MAJOR WOULD LOVE TO SEE , THE MUSLIM IN CHIEF,
GRuss
To Obama, he is not a murdering Terrorist, He's a freedom fighting Muslim!

WOW... THE COMMENTS ON THIS SUBJECT!!! The President is visiting Fort Hood Tuesday - I know that TheFoxNation is a NeoCon Site but come on people. But its Good to Go because it was Good seeing Kind Chickenhawk Tancredo owned by Markos (DailyKos) a fellow Veteran who actually served. You Chickenhawks on the FoxNation make me sick and most of you never served. Go ahead with your Teabagging because you're doing nothing to help the GOP or your NeoCon Base.

sounds like a photo op to me he cares nothing about what happened

It's like Kreskin, Nostradamus, and Criss Angel all rolled into one around here
AMERICAN FREEDOM AFTER OBAMA
LIKE HE REALLY CARES ABOUT FT.HOOD WE PUT ONE OF HIS FRIENDS IN A COMA.
BWAtl
What else can we expect from the president of the party that does its best to get all the military absentee votes thrown out at every election.
Alexandra
What else can we expect from a TOTUS who is REALLY a Muslim himself.
He only sat in Wright's "church" (HA, if you could ever call it that!) to listen to BLT--Black Liberation Theology.
Nancy N
No he has to wait while they erect special security measures. After all, a lot of people there have access to guns. Sad when Our pres is afraid of Our military
Alexandra
TRUE, but he's also revealing his TRUE OPINION of our Military, as if we didn't know already.
Tee time at Camp David is FAR more important.
Besides, truly...Muslims can't condemn other Muslims.

Sad is correct, that this paranoid schizo conceited freak of of potus has no loyalty from either the Americans and the military. Maybe if he was a man instead of a man child and had integrity as well as loyalty to Americans.
