Why doesn't Obama cry for the children he kills everyday in the middle east?

Today's shooting was a horrible tragedy. But when I saw Obama wiping tears from his eyes, it got me thinking. Why doesn't he cry for the children victims of his drone strikes and military attacks in Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc... Does he think that those children feel less pain than we do? Does he think that the families miss those children less than we do? Please explain

    Obama, he is only a puppet. He will cry for what ever is politically advantageous, that is the sad truth. Any change we want to make in society and in the whole world for that matter, has to start from the grass level, from YOU finding out how to reform your self and then connecting to others doing the same thing and together you will spread that mindset to the rest of the world. This is not hard, it is just an unfamiliar way to see things; you are not a innocent bystander anymore, no, you need to act! So, the best thing is to join the positive wave and soon enough you will see how Obama will change his act. You should try it!

    Liberal foreign policy has always been super-lenient.

    American military activity overseas is only high due to HIGH political change.

    I'm not even liberal, but I know this.

    When Marines in Somalia were ambushed and killed during the Clinton administration and we withdrew... I would've sent 100 black-ops squads to avenge their deaths.

    My POINT is that this is a very flawed juxtapose.

    More children in the middle east stand to lose their lives from the maniacal likes of dictators who threaten to use chemical weapons.

    He's not the president of the Middle East. Some of us have seen the photos from Iraq and Afghanistan - although there's not as much carnage now as there was earlier in our involvement - and teared up. Kids are kids, non-threatening and innocent, and no child's life should be taken cruelly but war is the choice of the adults in their lives and their children die. Guns are our choice and our children die.

    No.......they are considered collateral damage, same component contained in the inner cities like Chicago the position 17 human beings were shot that nighttime he became there and it slightly were given any information interest. His so-talked about as own each body is being shot and killed in groves and he sheds no tears. He needs to restrict hand guns yet until eventually he receives each criminal unlawful gun off the streets no longer one legal service might want to offer up their gun.

    First, Obama was crying tears of joy because he just won the election. It was such a fake cry.

    Second, you're comparing war. The soldiers will shoot or blow up anything having enemies lurking there - enemies that will take away your freedom in the future. So a couple of kids, just in the way, have to die for America's freedom.

    Third, Middle Eastern kids weren't intentionally killed. As I said, it's war and they were in the way. Any cold-blooded move from a soldier where they intentionally kill a child will be on news. Hello? Even the torturing of lowlife prisoners in 2004 went viral.

    Fourth, they kill their children their selves. The Middle Eastern suicide bombers were bomb vests and they happen to blow it up near children. So blame it on them.

    You're completely right hes a sociopath id like you to look up the Libyan Genocide and pictures of post revolution Libya on Google. The people he was funding in Libya were racist Wahhabi extremists who ended up killing the black and christian communities. Where were the "Liberals" then?

    on 911 65 children were hijacked and crashed into the pentagon...George Bush said it best"...we will not allow you to hide behind your women and children"as your mugiadean soldiers accept lodging as guess in houses that have women and children they become collateral damage just like the children in washington d.c. on 911...i believe the commandos that attacked on 911 did not want to kill women or children as so the american fighting men do not(most don't) this is the way of modern warfare...may god have mercy on all our souls

    Because he'll just say whatever people like "Eliot K" here want to hear to stay in office, even if it's completely irrelevant or false.
