Which is why I said blood loss -_-. But they can just keep pumping blood into him until they can fix the issue, which would most likely be fixable.

This is what happens when you have politicians of all stripes spending 20+ years making their opponents out to be Satan incarnate while handwaving their own faults. Someone eventually takes them at their word. They have nobody to blame but themselves when it winds up happening.

Right, right. And you picked such an opportune moment to whine about it too. After several people were targeted in what appears to be a partisan domestic terrorist attack. Couldn't wait until the victims were stitched up, could you? Still had to make that little jab? Just couldn't resist the urge?


To be fair, the fact that the guys a dick doesn't change just because he's been shot... An idiot is still an idiot, whether he's been the subject of an assassination attempt or not.

I don't really see why you should declare yourself the right to dictate when other people can and can't make those arguments. I wouldn't do it myself personally, but others can if they choose, and be the judge of whether it's worth what people will think of them.

Which attack did Obama refuse to call an act of terror that was one?

If you're referring to Benghazi (as was the controversy for a while,) he DID in fact call it an act of terrorism twice in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.

Obama, Rose Garden, Sept. 12

One should be careful about the recycling of discredited information. Fox News is well known for being egregiously wrong in their reporting of these sorts of issues. I would cease making such accusations about something that I was able to check and debunk with a five minute search on Google.

Ok, if you want to be picky about it, then it's a little over 40 miles away.

Edit 1: Ok, Travis AFB authorities have now called it a false alarm and lockdown is done.

We need to do something with these shootings. More gun regulations should be put in place, but of course the President won't do that in order to please the NRA.

No it's not. The remarks take place a day and two days after that particular attack, respectively. What else is he supposed to have said?
