Linda Chavez calls it Obama’s My Pet Goat Moment. I think she’s wrong since the media is editing it down to cut the opening lines out.
I don’t think this is a My Pet Goat moment, unless Linda means one which is going to be taken totally out of context. Bush stayed calm, waited for the facts to come in, and didn’t start running around. He let the professionals do their jobs. Obama, on the other hand, seemed to need to stroke his own ego before faking being sad.
John Lilyea at This ain’t Hell….. finds out that the shooter, Major Malik Nadal Hasan, a recent Muslim convert, has NEVER been deployed overseas. Supposedly, Hasan was extremely unhappy about potentially being deployed overseas to Iraq or Afghanistan (you know, something that can happen when one VOLUNTARILY joins and re-ups in the military.)
Friday Update: It seems that the “Medal Of Honor” winner, Joe Medicine Crow, who Obama referred to, actually was awarded the Medal Of Freedom by Obama himself. In August. Obama can’t even get that right during his 2 minutes of shout outs and “great meeting, folks.” As the saying goes, imagine if Bush had made a whopper of a gaffe like that. (via Van Helsing)
