More despicable news about the left's president.

HOUSTON, August 16, 2013 — Following months of email correspondence with Anwar Al-Awlaki, a leader of al-Queda in Yemen, Maj. Nidal Hasan walked into a busy deployment center at Ft. Hood, yelled Allahu Akbar (“God is great”) and opened fire, killing 13 Americans and injuring 32 more.

Hasan turned the largest Army base in America into a battlefield.

Yet President Barack Obama’s Department of Defense classifies this incident as “workplace violence.” That classification, coupled with his refusal to award the victims the Purple Heart, means that the victims do not get the level of medical care or financial support that soldiers injured in battle receive.

Obama and his Department of Defense take the position that Ft. Hood terrorist attack was “workplace violence” despite the mounting evidence to the contrary, including the position taken by other government entities.

Both the army review board and an FBI review both concluded it was a terrorist attack.

The many admissions from Hasan himself, including the open court admission this week, also show that it was a terrorist attack. Despite this overwhelming evidence, Obama’s Dept. of Defense refuses to reclassify the attack and award the victims the Purple Heart.

Just what does this have to do with the president?

The Defense Department argues that awarding the Purple Heart to the Fort Hood victims would make it harder to convict Hasan in the death-penalty case and "deprive the victims of these crimes the right to see justice done."

"Defense counsel will argue that Major Hasan cannot receive a fair trial because a branch of government has indirectly declared that Major Hasan is a terrorist -- that he is criminally culpable," the document states. That could lead to a delay of the case or the reversal of a guilty verdict on appeal, it continued.

So tell me, how does the president fit into this anyway??

He's been convicted.
