President Obama and Fort Hood

Those who have read my blog or heard my show know that I am no fan of President Obama. He has been getting some flack because he has not spoken out against the murdering major who killed 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas. Fortunately, the murderer did not die when he was shot and can be tried; the decision has been made, rightly I think, that he be court martialed. Since many decisions regarding courts martial are made by the chain of command it is altogether proper that President Obama remain silent on this matter. Were he to speak out it could properly be seen as command influence on the process.
