A great man. Perhaps President at the wrong time...but a great man.

And his story is pretty straight and simple. And I am not sure any thinking American can disagree.
Of coarse a leftist falls for the gag.

Sheep gon' sheep.

He doesn't "speak" to us, he Lectures us like we were stupid children.
He has LIED so many times that he has zero credibility any more. We have been Gruber'ed too often.

Except for the Leftist Parrots of course - they eat this stuff up.

Have you been living under a rock for ten years? Then what is your solution? How do we prevent terrorists from buying high powered weapons?

It's injured in combat, you don't gave to die. Which means they recieve one if shot in an act of terrorism but not if it is workplace violence. That matters for the survivors, there are certain benefits and considerations given with that Purple Heart. That matters to the family of the deceased for the same reason. So it had everything to do with Obama, he had the power to classify it and refused to allow it to be classified as an act of terror.

Obama had to sign the bill that allowed the reclassification.

Those victims just got reclassified this Feb 2015.

I now understand why people consider him to be "anti-American", at least compared to Bush.

I'm not suggesting he's a genius, but he doesn't pander to the public's anti-intellectualism.

April 2015 Fort Hood victims to be awarded Purple Hearts, families to get benefits.

Only took obuma administration 6 years
