President Obama should have lowered the nations flags to half staff.

Is Gov Scott a Christian?

Well, we all know what and who Obama is. Therefore, we should save our words about him for our prayers to the shattered families who are in pieces. I cannot fathom losing my brother, father, son, or wife to such an evil evil act. So i sincerely hope those who know these families aren’t just paying lip service. Their bringing dinner over, cutting the grass, babysitting children, etc. Being neighborly. It seems, especially in the cookie cutter neighborhoods in town, that people have forgotten that. People no longer wave. No longer talk. Many don’t even know their neighbors. It’s a sad sad country we have become.
Thanks to the governor’s who have shown a token of respect and prayers for the families.

This makes me really proud to be a Florida resident. Thank you Governor for doing the right thing for these hero’s.

It’s stated on the Fox 4 website that the White House has not ordered flags to flown at half-staff nationally, despite a growing movement urging for a proclamation. It’s is speculated that the reason is that the five military members who were shot are considered to have died in the line of duty, and half-staff flags are not traditionally called for in that circumstance.

As far as I’m concerned, they were employed by our Government recruiting potential soldiers for the US Military, so they were on the job in the line of duty when they were massacred!

@ dman: 100% correct !!! He can’t say Islamic terrorist are the reason for their deaths. Fort Hood terrorist act was classified as work place violence . Thanks to all the Governors for honoring these GREAT service men.

THANK YOU, Governor Scott, and all of the other governors that have ordered the flag to half staff. This should have been an immediate “no brainer” by Obama!

Yes, thank you to the Governors who have done what is right for our fallen military, even when the pretender in chief will not even do so.

Thanks a lot for nothing, Barack Obama. He lights up the White House in the colors of the gay flag and sends emissaries to the funerals of criminals…but it takes the Governor to set the flags at half staff.

Thank you, Governor Scott for giving a care about those that matter most.

dman for a real president in 2016
