Pat Dollard | Young Americans —
Commentary:
We still don’t know what was behind the killings at Ft. Hood this afternoon, in which 11 soldiers and the killer died, but President Obama’s rushed press conference was surprising in its flippancy nonetheless.

Some thing so. This isn't on the scale of 9/11 but I couldn't believe Obama's press conference when I saw it. His remarks on the Fort Hood shootings seemed almost as an after thought and his delivery seemed wooden and showed no emotion. ...
