Title: KILLEEN AND FORT HOOD ARE NOT OBAMA TERRITORY View count: 61 Rating: 3.0 (2 ratings) Description: KILLEEN, Texas, USA. In the heart of Republican Texas, the president is far from being the most popular figure in towns where most people did not vote for him, and denounce his incompetence on many different fronts. Killeen is Fort Hoods neighbouring city. There are very few Obama fans around here. Its a conservatice town whose economy is heavily dependent on the soldiers stationned at the post. And one quickly noctices that in the ranks just like in these shops democrats arent very popular. In town, the military wives vent their frustration over a president who has never been in the military and simply cannot understand, according to them, what the families are going through after Thursdays tragedy at Fort Hood. But for others, grieving times are when politics should be set aside in order for the community to come together in honour of those shot and killed by Major Malik Hasan. Back at the post, most soldiers agree. But, off camera many confess their distrust of a president who does not appear to be simpathetic to the military in general.
