There was a time in the past when the President of the US actually worked for the US.

The Department of Defense is making it clear: The military opposes awarding Purple Hearts to the victims of the Fort Hood shooting.
A Pentagon position paper, delivered to congressional staff on Friday and obtained by ABC News, says giving the award to the Fort Hood victims could “irrevocably alter the fundamental character of this time-honored decoration” and “undermine the prosecution of Major Nidal Hasan [the alleged Fort Hood shooter] by materially and directly compromising Major Hasan’s ability to receive a fair trial.”
The Department prepared the paper in response to legislation introduced by Rep. John Carter, (R.-Texas), the Congressman whose district includes Fort Hood. The Fort Hood Families Benefits Protection Act would award both military and civilian casualties of the Fort Hood attack combatant status.
Carter re-introduced the legislation in February in the wake of an ABC News investigation detailing claims by victims that they have been neglected by the military. In a report that aired on “World News with Diane Sawyer” and “Nightline,” former police sergeant Kimberly Munley, who helped stop the Ft. Hood shooting, said she felt “betrayed” by President Obama and that he broke a promise to make sure the victims would be well taken care of.
There has been no comment from the White House about Munley’s allegations.
No Purple Hearts for Fort Hood Victims, Pentagon Says – ABC News
There was a time in the past when the president of the US actually was born in the US. Does that help explain it?
There was a time in the past when the President of the US actually worked for the US.
You’d probably have to go back to Reagan for that.
I live about 30 miles from Ft. Hood. I can tell you that just about everyone that lives in this area are sick of the delays and the pampering that Hasan has been given. If we had a Congress that had any balls it would demand answers on why this terrorist hasn’t been hung yet.
That’s my bottom line, too, so no doubt that of many ordinary people.
The SOB should have taken out and hung as a common criminal, not some sort of gods’ holy warrior. The soldiers who were killed or wounded were frankly no different than someone shot in a drive-by banger in Killeen. They were no different from gays, blacks or other minorities targeted because of what they were.
There is no honor to be found in being ambushed. It just is what it is, a criminal act.

Being politically correct requires thoughtfulness and compassion, so don’t call anyone an Islamist, terrorist, illegal alien or any of the many new terms or phrases that may offend someone.
The worthless piece of shit in the white house is worth a billion to those that fear the individual and long for the collective!
Skeeter is all about fairness. If Hasan does not get a medal, then no one does.
I don’t understand why people call him “Skeeter”, instead of, say, “Vlad the Impaler”, or at least “Clarabelle-In-Chief”. (“Nurse Ratched” maybe?)
“…up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time,”
In another related story of Skeeter abandoning our troops when they are in their greatest need…
“Special Operations Speaks”
“End the Benghazi Cover-up!
Months after the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, critical questions still remain unanswered:
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Virginia) has introduced a congressional resolution, H. Res. 36, calling for the establishment of a special Congressional committee to investigate the Benghazi attack and the Obama administration’s handling of it in the weeks that followed. It’s an opportunity for a comprehensive investigation that connects all the dots, and holds people accountable.
Over sixty Members of Congress have co-sponsored H. Res. 36. If your representative is not one of them, please take a moment to encourage him/her to do so.
JOIN Over 700 Special Ops Veterans to DEMAND A Select Committee for Benghazi! SIGN THE PETITION TO END THE COVER-UP TODAY!”

Fort Hood terrorist not only receives free room and board, but also still draws a salary:

The Obama administration has granted him more rights and benefits than his victims.
