Obama is faced with the challenge of comforting the community and the country after a shooting in Fort Hood, Texas. It is a difficult situation because the families effected have provided service for our country and have made many sacrifices. Currently Obama is trying to provide comfort and unity for the community after this tragedy. He said "our thoughts and prayers are with the entire community, and we are going to do everything we can to make sure that the community at Fort Hood has what it needs to deal with the current situation, but also any potential aftermath.".
In times of crisis or disaster the actions of the president are put under a microscope. Currently Obama is not scheduled to visit Fort Hood. After the first shooting in November of 2009 he visited. Next week Obama will be in Texas speaking about civil rights. His plans may change after recent events.
