How utterly insensitive of him to those killed and their families. I am truly glad I did not vote for him.
Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

President Obama didn't wait long after Tuesday's devastating elections to...
I don't find it frightening, or insensitive. The President was finishing a conference that had been in progress. I suppose people will scream from the rafters and say "he should have stopped everything to make remarks then and there," and yes, he could of, but I don't see it as being insensitive to take just 3 minutes to finish what he was saying first.
Too much was said, and much of it wrong, by the news media in the first few hours. In fact it was into the night before the truth came out about the shooter being wounded and not killed as reported all afternoon.
I find no fault with the President handling of the incident. What if he had done the somber moments first and then went into the lighter stuff? I'm sure there would be those who ...

I watched and I wasn't stunned as the writer says I should have been. I did wonder if the people in the room were aware, my guess is that they were not.
It was handled as it should have been. This wasn't an address to the nation as a whole, it was an address to the people in the room that the media carried.
I guess we should be grateful he wasn't carrying a copy of My Pet Goat.
Frankly, I think the news stations came in a little too soon and he was finishing his previous address. That's how my DH and I took it . We were confused at first, but then realized he was endin his previous talk and not yet starting the announced one about the incident.
That appeared obvious to us.

The White House said that he would speak about it prior, meaning before his
previously scheduled appearance. He could have addressed the nation before
he gave his speech.

Quote: Going back to what I said before... those of us who saw this, saw it differently. Does that mean that those who agree with this OP are wrong because those who don't agree with the OP saw things differently and are right? Apparently so.

Quote: The same can be said for the libs on this board as well, Uh, huh. Apparently you have chosen to ignore the outcies of libs on this board and all around the country on Obama's continuing to keep in place several of Bush's policies that were abhorrent then,and still are....notably FISA, and his foot-dragging on gay rights, the health care public option to name a couple others. The hypocrisy of the Republican party has no...
