It's true though that Obama has a "tip-toe" policy about terror. Think about it. Fort Hood is a terror attack. The guy was a Muslim, he wore Muslim garb and yelled "Allah Akbar!" while committing his murders. President Obama called Fort Hood "workplace violence". Workplace violence. Think about that for a second. Workplace violence would be throwing a copy machine at a wall, not yelling out Arabic screams as you commit terrorism in the name of Islam.
He isn't stupid, he knows what he's saying. Why does he say something that flawed?
Out of curiosity, do you consider Charleston a terror attack too?
I would say yes, although Fort Hood is more clear-cut because of the actual contact the terrorist had with Al Qaeda agents.
Charleston is freelance domestic terror. Fort Hood was a third-party Al Qaeda strike on a military base.
