fort hood

Regan had the Challenger Expolosion, Clinton had the Oklahoma City Bombing, Bush had 9/11, and now Obama has Fort Hood. The speech was incredible, just like all of his speeches. He spoke of not only honoring our grandfather's generation, but our own as war heros. "This generation has more than proved itself the equal of those who have come before. We need not look to the past for greatness, because it is before our very eyes," the President said. He also talked about every one of the victims as individuals. I do not doubt the President's sincerity however, its hard to really trust him. A person in class commented that Obama is all talk and that it is hard to believe what he says, because so many focus on his words and his promises only to be let down. Obama is a charasmatic leader and it is easy to get caught up in his words. However has only been in office for 11 months and I have been satisfied with many of the choices he has made. What do you think?

  1. I really liked his speech too. It was another side of him I haven't seen yet. This speech was different from all the rest. I liked what he had to say.
