Obama condemns Muslim attack on Arkansas Army recruiters…not
President Obama announced his choice for Army Secretary this afternoon.
The news isn’t what he said in his statement about GOP Rep. John McHugh:
“As Secretary of the Army, he will ensure that our soldiers are trained and equipped to meet the full spectrum of challenges and threats of our time. And John [McHugh] shares my belief that a sustainable national security strategy must include a bipartisan consensus at home, and he brings patriotism and a pragmatism that has won him respect on both sides of the aisle. I look forward to working with him in the months and years ahead.”
The news is what he left out.
Not a word about the jihadi attack on the two Army recruiters in Arkansas. No condemnation of the heinous attack and senseless violence. No condolences for the families of the targeted men or praise for the military recruiters who have been under increasing attack on U.S. soil. No statements from the DOJ or Pentagon, either.
Nothing.

Jeffrey Goldberg at the Atlantic notices similar whitewashing by government-funded NPR, which failed to report the name and religion of recruiter-murdering suspect Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad:
Why not tell people what is actually happening in the world? We saw this a couple of weeks ago, when the press only gingerly acknowledged that the malevolent though incompetent suspects in the synagogue bombing-conspiracy case in New York were converts to Islam. How is the public served by this kind of silence? The extremist Christian beliefs of George Tiller’s alleged murderer are certainly relevant to that case, and no one in my profession is hesitant to discuss them. Why the hesitancy to talk about the motivations of the man who allegedly killed Pvt. William Long?

Obama’s true feelings and agenda are becoming clearer every passing hour. He is Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces, yet feels the murder of an abortion doctor is more tragic and more worthy of his condolences than the murder of a soldier. Now, he is over kissing the a$$ of the Saudi King. Next, on to Egypt to spout off about his muslum roots. Interesting that no one heard about those “roots” when he was campaigning for Pres. In fact, his opponent, Juan McAmnesty, forbid anyone to even mention that Obama’s middle name was Hussein! Everything was covered up by the complicit MSM…his associations, his muslum background, his socialist agenda…everything. And now we are stuck with him. Chicago thug, black supremicist, socialist, muslim, America-basher, and our president. It doesn’t get any sicker than that.
Just how ignorant does one have to be to have not seen this last year? A child could have figured it out with or without the help from the MSM. Have we really become that pc?
I agree. There is no way the American people can make this mistake again! And as for those hybrid cars…I refuse to drive one of those tin-foil kiddie cars!! What about my daughter and her husband who have 2 kids and a big dog? Those dangerous cars will not sell. Period!
Half this country IS ignorant! Ever watch Jay Leno’s “Jay-Walking” segment? He even asks “duh” questions of school teachers and they can’t answer! Basic, simple questions. Yes, this country is definitely that ignorant.
Probably not, but as long as mainstream has the green $hit$, we’ll be in for a long and expensive ride.
Yeah, but at least he is black!
Someone has gotten your e-mail address from that letter you sent. That someone had to be in the White House, wouldn’t he? If that is the case, it would be interesting to trace it back and prove where that nasty comment originiated. A response like that from the WH would make the Glenn Beck show for sure!
How could he get away with that? Wouldn’t that be grounds for his execution at the hand of a Jihadist? Turning your back on your muslim roots is a big no-no!
I checked the huff & puff & blow your house down site, still no mention of the slain soldier by a guy of the same religion as their beloved America hating pres. and the comments in some threads are all about what a great man Tiller was and how Fox news should be shut down for inciting the hate. Arianna Huffington is one of the biggest elitist hypocrites ever wasting oxygen. How she conned so many wealthy men into wining and dining her then making off with 50% of their money after they were stupid enough to marry the screeching shrillbot, i will never know. Her army of worthless tools waiting for their next talking points, I hope they all get mired in this rotten economy they chose to prolong with their freshman candidate, a failed economy from the DEMOCRATS after their credit and housing scams backfired!!!! Anyway, thoughts and prayers for the families of these patriots and hopes that the thug who did this is uncomfortable for the rest of his life, hopefully not a long one.
the propaganda department of the democrat party has now been put on notice. 1. the economy is improving thanks to the great and benevolent leadership of the one. 2. only enemies of the state are terrorists, so right wing christians, terrorists. left wing black panther thugs, not terrorists. talk radio, terrorists. msm who won’t even inform you of terrorist attacks here in the u.s., not terrorists. islamists the world over who preach and teach hatred and murder, not terrorists, but the pope or any christian leader, terrorist. you get the point. 3. i, your potus, am only a muslim when i am in muslim lands, which the u.s. is not quite yet, so i am christian and you are forbidden from using my full name. 4. those who contributed GENEROUSLY to my magnificent campaign will be rewarded with the businesses i confiscate, uh liberate from the greedy rich, so unions, heres to you, gubmint motors. if we could only find a deserving union at aig, we could give them that company, ditto citigroup. but those guys did contribute fairly heavily to my coffers so i may let them live. but you chrysler and gm dealerships who support republicans, buh-bye. 5. now how about a rousing chorus of kumbaya.
Barack Obama is supposed to be the commander-in-chief of these Army recruiters, and their murder ought to be handled like as it would be if anyone in his personal administrative staff were killed by a maniacal Muslim. That he hasn’t even said a single word about it shows that being commander-in-chief of our armed forces is irrelevant to him. All he cares about is social experimentation and remaking America in his image.
That won’t be the story from the state-ruled media, so the majority of the uneducated dolts in this country (the Democrat base) are going to continue believing that Obama is their lord and savior.
What will happen is that Huffington & her fellows in the media will blame US for the failure, essentially because we wanted it to fail (just as they have wanted Capitalism to fail, while doing everything possible to sabotage it with socialist policies). Do not be surprised when this happens that they will call for us to have our citizenship revoked and thrown into camp Gitmo.
“Don’t fret?” There are 3 1/2 years left in this idiot’s administration, and you say we shouldn’t fret? That crazy dwarf in North Korea shooting missiles willy-nilly, and Iran is going full-forward toward becoming a nuclear threat, and we shouldn’t fret? The world is more dangerous than it’s every been, we have a “president” whose sole concern is to make the United States into a socialist worker’s Utopia (and he’s succeeding thus far in doing so), we have a populous that is ignorant in every possible way with regard to what an adult’s responsibilities are (they have given them up to the state), and a media that is going to report the what the state wants them to report, and you think that we shouldn’t fret?
I’m not going to be surprised when the “crisis” that VP Biden predicted comes, and it will be the pretext for the suspending of habeas corpus and the Constitution, and essentially the final death of the rule of law, ushering in a totalitarian oligarchy. There’s still 3 1/2 years for Obama and his handlers to utterly destroy every last portion of what used to be the United States, and to make the 2012 elections a moot point.
