How else can you characterize the statement by Obama that Congress needs to halt the probe on Fort Hood.
President Barack Obama on Saturday urged Congress to hold off on any investigation of the Fort Hood rampage until federal law enforcement and military authorities have completed their probes into the shootings at the Texas Army post, which left 13 people dead.
On an eight-day Asia trip, Obama turned his attention home and pleaded for lawmakers to “resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater.” He said those who died on the nation’s largest Army post deserve justice, not political stagecraft.
“The stakes are far too high,” Obama said in a video and Internet address released by the White House while the president he was flying from Tokyo to Singapore, where Pacific Rim countries were meeting.
…
Rep. Howard McKeon, R-Calif., said he wanted to go ahead with an investigation from the House Armed Services Committee, where he is the top Republican. He said he wanted an investigation that wouldn’t compromise law enforcement or military investigations that were continuing on separate tracks.In the Senate, Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, said his Homeland Security Committee was opening an investigation.
Obama said he was not opposed to hearings — eventually. But he strongly pressed lawmakers to hold off until the probes now under way are completed.
Think about it.
As far as I am concerned, Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm) has proved over and over that he kowtows to Muslims and Islamists.
Then there was the story about him wanting to get rid of all Republicans in government.
Take that, the bitch slapping the dems got in the last election, the defeat the present health care bill is due to be dealt, the arrival of the 9-11 terrorists in NY (and a slap in the face to New Yorkers) and Obama wants nothing but to gain a victory…at all costs…for his administration.
And one way of doing that is to slow the Congressional investigation so that he can grab power and we will soon see all Islamic terrorists set free in this country.
Extreme? I don’t think so. Obama hates America THAT MUCH that he’d do this.
