America's Callous P.C. President

America's Callous P.C. President

Two noteworthy anniversaries occur in November, one observed by our vacationing president, one totally ignored by our vacationing president.

It’s odd, actually, since the regrettable anniversaries are linked: Both involve Islamic terrorist attacks, the first occurring on our own soil, the one Obama totally ignored, the second occurring thousands of miles away, the one he observed.

Speaking soon after his arrival in Mumbai, India, at the same hotel, the luxurious Taj Mahal hotel that was one site of Islamic terrorism two years ago, Obama somberly noted that the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks must be brought to justice. One hundred and seventy people were murdered and 308 wounded in the Taj and in other locations in the Indian capital over the course of 3 days, November 26-29.

He offered ultra-politically correct, sincere solace to the relatives of the victims of what Indians refer to as “26/11,” as if that Islamic atrocity even remotely compared to America’s Islamic atrocity on 9/11.

To the relatives of the Mumbai terror attacks victims, Obama offered these words of consolation: ”We will never forget the awful images of the November 26 attacks, the flames from Taj Hotel that lit up skies on those four days of November, 2008.” He vowed, ”We today, U.S. and India are working together, more closely than ever to deepen counterterrorism (cooperation), to keep our people safe:” http://bit.ly/cqWj9L

Very touching, very presidential, very P.C.

As for the other attack, at Fort Hood on November 5th, 2009, the president and his administration have been preternaturally, unaccountably silent for almost a year, acting almost as if the murder of 14 innocents, including a pre-born baby, and the wounding of 30 others at the Texas Army base had never happened or, worse, didn’t matter.

It can’t really be said that he has forgotten that massacre, also at the hands of an Islamic murderer, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, since Obama has virtually ignored it, even during his pre-recorded Saturday radio address on November 5th, 2010 . . .
