Our President orders the American flag lowered for Ft Hood, Aurora, et all, but refuses to do the same when a Muslim terrorist punk kills five of our finest in Chattanooga. Obama sees no connection to Islam yet again.
At the minimum, he could set up Red, White & Blue lights across the front of the White House.
He'll get a little schooling today when he takes time off from fund-raising and addresses the VFW.
There Obama will have the Secret Service do an extra sweep for this event! There may be soldiers present with guns!
What a loser we Elected.

Even our liberal idiot governor in Connecticut ordered flags lowered. Obama may not have to but why not do it? You can have the WH in homo lights yet won't do this? Pathetic.

Here is my problem with this man. Throughout his term, there's something very telling. Note the times where he puts his heart into some things and where he doesn't. If an incident cam be used for his agenda in any way, he will go out of his way to comment or whatever else. If it doesn't, you can clearly see he doesn't give a damn. His silence on the illegals murdering people recently is a great example. Speaking on it would force him to defend sanctuary cities and illegals. So he would rather stay silent and basically say screw those who were killed. Now we have this recent Islamic murders and he won't lower flags and most likely never speak of what happened again.

This man is a scum bag.

Wrong. President Obama did not order flags at half-staff for the late Ms. Houston. That was Governor Christie for flags in New Jersey.

snopes.com: FALSE: Flags Lowered for Whitney Houston

I also read that the US flag is not lowered to half-mast for those in the military killed 'in the line of duty'. Otherwise, that flag would be popping up and down like a jack-in-the-box.

You're attempting to use reason with obtuse right wing Obamaphobes.

It won't work.

I'll take your correction, now tell me why Obama won't involve himself in this terrible event.
He is Commander in Chief for God's sake. He should act like it for once.
Apologizing for his incompetence has become tiresome don't you think?

He did not order flags to be lowered for Whitney Houston. You have been lied to.

If flags were lowered after each mass shooting, they'd be going up and down all the time. Gov of TN can lower them in TN since the shooting occurred in his state. Gov Perry could have had the flags lowered in TX when the 'American Sniper' was murdered, but he chose not to lower them.

Why did Obama make the choice not to lower the flags for this national incident?

He has shown time after time his disdain for our military and deep down inside feels that it's retaliation. He has also shown his unwillingness to call it what it is.....radical islam.....

This is why he refused to lower the flags.

You should really think about the end result of Tn. This is a direct refection on then the Sec. of State Clinton and the President who refused to engage in the Security of the US. Liberals are quick to sweep this under the carpet.

Remember Ft. Hood?

Kerry try's to be a Statesman, but has Obama as his boss. No one in the Adminstration will utter the Words" Islamic Terrorist ". The Radical was on a FBI watch list.

The answer is not making the Recruiters wear Civilian attire, its securing our country from Islamic threat to securing the Boarder.

Can America ever trust a Democrat to up hold the Laws of this Country?

I have not asked him, nor am I concerned about it. Why didn't Perry lower them in Texas when the national hero, 'The American Sniper' was murdered? Why DID Christie lower them for Houston? Why did Bush NOT lower them every time Americans were killed in Iraq? I don't know, nor do I lose any sleep over where presidents of governors want to fly their flags. That's partisan bickering on steroids.
