"Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting "

http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/polit...President.html

The events at Fort Hood and Obama's callous ineptitude, are visceral and gut wrenching. If anything it reinforces the lesson the world is a dangerous place and strong leaders are a priceless resource. I know folks were upset by these events, but America's greatness derives from being a nation of immigrants, every one of us except 100% Native Americans is or is descended from immigrants, we cannot let a murderer turn us against ourselves, nor should we let PC concerns smother obvious Red Flags. There is a lot of experience and wisdom on this board, the calm logic seems to beg the question are you an American first, if so it doesn't matter what name you call God. As folks here pointed out the valor and sacrifices of the most highly decorated unit in the history of the US military, the Nisei 442 Regimantal Combat Team, or the recent sacrifice of Staff Sgt. Ayman Taha demonstrate what constitutes a great American. The reality of the situation is we have to look to ourselves in these times since clearly there is no leadership coming from the executive branch of our government.
