I thought this was excellent:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy. But this much we do know &#8212; no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor. And for what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice &#8212; in this world, and the next.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Props to Obama for reminding the nation of the ultimate justice of God.I also thought this was good reminder:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We are a nation that guarantees the freedom to worship as one chooses. And instead of claiming God for our side, we remember Lincoln&#8217;s words, and always pray to be on the side of God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Absolutely excellent job paying tribute to the men and women who lost their lives by the hand of their fellow soldier:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Here, at Fort Hood, we pay tribute to thirteen men and women who were not able to escape the horror of war, even in the comfort of home. Later today, at Fort Lewis, one community will gather to remember so many in one Stryker Brigade who have fallen in Afghanistan.Long after they are laid to rest &#8212; when the fighting has finished, and our nation has endured; when today&#8217;s servicemen and women are veterans, and their children have grown &#8212; it will be said of this generation that they believed under the most trying of tests; that they persevered not just when it was easy, but when it was hard; and that they paid the price and bore the burden to secure this nation, and stood up for the values that live in the hearts of all free peoples.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy (via)And here is the transcript of the prepared eulogy.
