Keep in mind that Bush was notified of the 9-11 attacks within a few minutes. Obama, on the other hand, had much more time. If memory serves, Obama had close to an hour (possibly longer) before making his remarks, yet he STILL chose to speak about his Native American conference. Here's the breakdown: <br /><br />Length of speech - 5:00 <br />Length of Remarks preceeding Fort Hood comments - 1:55 <br />Comments on Fort Hood - 2:40 <br />Closing remarks to conference - 0:25 <br />TIME SPENT ON NATIVE AMERICAN CONFERENCE - 2:20 <br />TIME SPENT ON FORT HOOD TRAGEDY - 2:40 <br />So there you have it. Obama gave 20 fewer seconds to the Native American conference during his official response to the Fort Hood shooting. I'm sure Dr. Joe Medicine Crow and his fellow conference goers will understand the President's snub
