Because Nothing Says Empathy Like.....



Maybe I'm just a touch sensitive, having been stationed at Ft. Hood for 4 years.....
Then again, maybe not. Is it too much to ask that the Commander in Chief not give a 'shout out' prior to addressing the country after 13 soldiers had been murdered by one of their own and another 30 wounded? A 'shout out'...really? I suppose nothing truly says 'presidential' like giving a 'shout out' prior to...well...anything.

And I am sure that it was quite the morale booster to soldiers both in harm's way and at bases home and abroad....

Perhaps the president could give a 'shout out' to General McChrystal... and make a decision about troop levels in Afghanistan..... but that is another rant for another day....

    Yeah even I think the shout out thing is ridiculous, but I'm a glass 1/2 full gal. At LEAST he didn't give a shout out to Le Bebe Srgt, Lopez. Quite embarrassing.

    Speechless. This is what a man elected solely for his "rhetorical skills" has to say. Take care.
