President Obama's statement on today's shooting.

Obama statement on the Holocaust Museum shooting: �I am shocked and saddened by today�s shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms. No American institution is more important to this effort than the Holocaust Museum, and no act of violence will diminish our determination to honor those who were lost by building a more peaceful and tolerant world.

�Today, we have lost a courageous security guard who stood watch at this place of solemn remembrance. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this painful time.�

1. I note again that he has failed to acknowledge this as the blatant act

of politically-motivated terrorism that it is.

President Obama, I'd like to lend you my spine. It appears that yours has gone missing.

3. Right, and play totally into their hands.

They want to get in a tit for tat with the Prez. That much is obvious. I prefer Obama stay above it.

7. It "appears" you don't know

what you're talking about. Anything that your hate can do to distract from the tragedy at hand.

he said that "no act of violence would diminish our determination to honor those who were lost.." and honored Stephen Tryone Johns with this tribute..�Today, we have lost a courageous security guard who stood watch at this place of solemn remembrance."
