This is how a 20th century U.S. President addressed the downing of a civilian airliner:
This is how a more enlightened 21st century U.S. President addressed the downing of a civilian airliner:
“It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy.”

“Why can’t I just eat my waffle?”
BO’s well crafted 38 second response was completely pragmatic: after all, the plane had already crashed and burned. So what difference, at this point, does it make?
America evolving: Open all night . And by open, I mean “OPEN.”

The airliner destruction just got in the way of his fundraiser, and his upcoming vacation.
Obama: "Tough Noogies"
Reagan: Historic speech, actual action [GPS system released to airlines, plus making the Russians look even worse.]
Obama: *Giggle giigle* Duh hurr durr duh *giggle giggle*
Man, we are SO SCREWED.
Every time I watch that video of Reagan, I get a pit in my stomach because I know we’ve got nothing like that, and may not for a long while.
It’s enough to keep me up at night.
“Airspace Violence”......
i wouldn’t dismiss 0bama having a hand in it
it helps divert the attention of the media away from the border invasion (which it was grudgingly starting to cover)

So hard to watch video of Reagan, a time when the office of President meant something, when America was respected, when we actually had a foreign policy and the CIC grieved along with the American people when a tragedy occurred.
So hard to watch that knowing I must return to the reality that is this country’s nightmare - an illegal, American hating man child in office.
