MORE MUSH FROM THE PRESIDENT - AT 10:53 A.M. ET:  The commander in chief spoke about Fort Hood again this morning, and we got more mush: 

He praised those who serve or have served in uniform and reminded the public of their diversity -- a move designed to calm tensions around the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

What's a liberal speech without the word "diversity"?

''We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing,'' Obama said.

Oh come on.  Of course we can fully know...if we want to.  But if the government is run by political correctness, and to this White House that's more important than the Constitution, we'll avoid the truth.

Obama's aides were working to make way for Obama to attend a still unscheduled memorial service. The White House's top spokesman said Obama would attend that service and emphasized it would take place at the families' convenience and that it will not be dictated by the president's schedule.

That's nice.  If Bush were in office, he'd be criticized for not flying to Fort Hood immediately.
