It was suggested that I post a diary about this so here goes. I'm calling it stupid diary because this reminds me of the time I got frustrated with the pothole at the end our street that just never not fixed and said "stupid pothole" Like a pothold can be stupid. We have all cursed inanimate objects, let's be honest. But is is frustrating nonetheless and our President's lack of response here has me frustrated.
More below.
I am so sorry for the family of Dr. Tiller and what happened to him is horrible. The whole country is ourtraged and with good reason. My condolences to his family. Our President even expressed them. He even went so far as to condemn the shooting and offer up security assistance.
What bothers me is that another shooting took place just a few hours later. It took place at an Army/Navy recruiting office, one recruiter assistant was killed and another wounded. I have been waiting for President Obama to address this like he did for Dr. Tiller but nothing, so far. The silence is disheartening.
President Obama is Commander in Chief. These young soldiers are under his command. He has nothing to say?
My daughter is under his command and to me he is showing how little he cares about our military.
I am scared to death for her.
Am I teh stupid for feeling this way?
