President Obama didn't wait long after Tuesday's devastating elections to give critics another reason to question his leadership, but this time the subject matter was more grim than a pair of governorships.

After news broke out of the shooting at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas, the nation watched in horror as the toll of dead and injured climbed. The White House was notified immediately and by late afternoon, word went out that the president would speak about the incident prior to a previously scheduled appearance. At about 5 p.m., cable stations went to the president. The situation called for not only his trademark eloquence, but also grace and perspective.

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?

‘Sup cousin Pookie! Hey, I’d like to thank Kathy’s Katering for the rockin’ finger food. Also, I understand that Little Johnny got all A’s and one B on his report card this time out. Hey gimme knuckles there John.

Okay, some of you may have heard that grandma died, well that’s why we’re here…

I love to watch him go into his black talk when he is doing an acting job trying to impress those in the ghettos.
Anytime you have a black or white person try and talk in different dialects, stay the hell away from them, they are TROUBLE!

What will be funny is when those in deep poverty realize they have been schemed by one (Obama) who claimed to be their own.

No... we can’t rush to conclusions about a Muslim who shouts praised to his god while shooting U.S. soldiers. No, Of course not.

But, lets rush to the quickest conclusions about a (white) Cambridge cop doing his duty, and who is verbally abused by a condescending (black) Cambridge professor.

The Obama administration wants to do everything it can to avoid the fact that this was the first attack on US Soil by Muslim Terrorists since 9/11 and that it happened on his watch while DHS was labeling veterans and conservative protesters as potential enemies of the state.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Gemini

You're in a very erratic mood today, making you restless, edgy and nervy. It may be almost impossible to settle to anything for long, because, as Mercury slows, you soon lose interest. If life becomes boring you'll want to liven it up in some way and it's likely you'll choose the most disruptive and controversial option you can think of, even though you know this will cause trouble.
