Obama snubs Ft. Hood to relax at Camp David

Clarice Feldman

Dan Riehl checks the President's schedule and learns that Obama's not going to Fort Hood, but rather to Camp David for the weekend. In an update, Dan notes that his predecessor is more sensitive to the situation.

Fox Reports GWB and Laura spent a few hours at Fort Hood, no photo ops. Now that's a CIC.

Are you kidding me? Camp frickin' David? What, does he have a tee time close by? For heaven's sakes, he's the CIC. And he's taking the weekend off? This guy simply doesn't care. Unbelievable via Fox.

11:25AM THE PRESIDENT addresses the House Democratic Caucus - Cannon House Office Building

2:30PM THE PRESIDENT makes a statement to the press on Health Care - Rose Garden

2:45PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY depart The White House en route Camp David - South Lawn

That Dancing with the Indians conference must have really worn the poor guy out so much he can't spare time to comfort the survivors of the jihadi Major's massacre.

Every president from FDR has taken vacations and get-aways to work in seclusion. Unless there's been a retraction I don't know of, the president is slated to attend one of the memorial services.  I get the feeling, however, had the president dropped everything and rushed to Ft. Hood, he'd be accused of looking for a photo-op. (As was the case when he was present for returning coffins at 4:00 in the morning.) 

But then, your source is Fox News.

But then, your source is Fox News.  

Is there an untruth up there anywhere?  You are insinuating that the Fox News report of 0bama's schedule is false?  Prove it.  Are you saying that the Fox News report of the Bush's visit is false?  I also included the link to the AP story. 

I would go on and make some snarky comments about illiteracy and lack of education, but I've seen what it makes FreeShoesGraduate look like so I'll refrain.

What amazes me is that no matter how many sources tell the same story, if you use a Fox link the story must be false,  A comment would have a lot more credibility if it just disagreed on it's own merit and not used it as an opportunity to bash Fox.  Especially when it's been run elsewhere.

I think the point catpaw was making, which is getting lost on the Fox News supporters, is that this is another case of petty partisan nitpicking from the right. That no matter what Obama did for the Veterans Day weekend, the right would find something to criticize, no matter how trivial. It's getting old fast.

posted by NancyII on Nov 7, 2009 at 07:18 PM

And you continually playing interpreter for others comments is also getting old.  They are perfectly capable of speaking for themselves.

It has less to do with Fox supporters than it does with people who won't accept a true story if Fox is attached to it even if the story came off a major news source.

People here have the right to voice their opinion and their displeasure with the president and they shouldn't have to be told they are "petty partisans" by someone who is blatantly partisan.

 Nancy,

" It has less to do with Fox supporters than it does with people who won't accept a true story if Fox is attached to it even if the story came off a major news source."

That's because Fox News is not a credible news source.

That is true.

That's a fact from an unbiased reporter?

This guy simply doesn't  care. Unbelievable via Fox. 

Strange. I haven't heard that fact repeated on CNN, HLN, PBS, the networks, or seen it on Time. Why is that?  While you're at it, does Rush have any "facts" worth repeating?

Last month, Fox, the so-called news source,  editorialized in favor of legalizing marijuana.

They gave NORML a half-hour interview, and everything.

The quote you reference isn't even from a Fox report.

In Fact..............it was "o" who gave the chief the medal!!   OMG!  How embarrassing is THAT?
