Our President really doesn't like our military much, and appears deathly afraid we'll rise up and massacre Muslims living in here ... as if. The Muslim world gives him no credit for his hesitancy, of course.
It took Obama 5 days to decide the White House and federal sites should fly their flags at half staff. This to honor the four Marines and a sailor who were fatally shot by a Muslim in Chattanooga on the 16th.
It was a decision apparently made reluctantly under pressure. If any of the five dead had been black, he might have moved more quickly. See a brief story at Newsweek.
