Obama to attend memorial for victims of Texas plant explosion
In a central Texas town still looking for answers, President Barack Obama will join the community of West on Thursday for a memorial service for the 14 people killed in a fertilizer plant explosion last week.
First lady Michelle Obama will also attend the service at Baylor University in nearby Waco, Texas.
Before leaving Washington, Obama signed a proclamation ordering all flags in the state to be flown at half-staff for the day.
FULL STORY
Prayers & thoughts with the folks there.
@Hamsta, don't knock socialism until you at least understand it! Check out the Scandinavian nations, then get back to me about "evil socialism"! We are no where near socialism & it wouldn't work here, but it does work very well for some!!
@vikingwoman
rightly said but to equate President Obama with socialism or Islam is something those who couldn't reconcile with his being elected & then re-elected never tire of harping upon.
Hamsta, those 5 were not shot in a school, they were shot in their own home. The school sign gen free zone was passed in 1990 under Bush I, unsure of why this is such a talking point of yours 23 years after the fact.
