President Obama Declared Unwelcome in Roseburg, Oregon
The publisher of the Roseburg Beacon appeared on Bill O'Reilly's program to state that President Barack Obama was not welcome in the Roseburg, Oregon community following a mass shooting. Local officials, including the Douglas County commissioners and the sheriff, reportedly reached a consensus that the President should not visit for "political grandstanding." The community expressed frustration that the President politicized the tragedy before all victims were even identified.
President Barack Obama issued a presidential proclamation ordering flags to be flown at half-staff following the mass shooting in Roseburg, Oregon on October 1, 2015. The order applies to the White House, public buildings, military posts, and naval vessels through sunset on October 6, 2015.
