I thought it 100 times more insensitive; the general way he handled the appearance.
He went on for quite awile, about the group he was adressing and their concerns. Saying nothing about the shootings the whole time.
Then as almost a after thought, he got around to the shootings and started talking about them.
Reportedly, his original text was
“I wasn’t there, I don’t know what happened. But the US Military personel on hand acted stupidly when they shot Mr. Hassan.”
/sarc but with enough truth...
Its like, after you watch 9/11 on tv, then expect the president to come on national tv to talk about the incident. Instead he spend 3 minutes on something else, and you’re wondering, um,, whats going on here, why isn’t he talking about the Fort Hood incident. That 3 minute was surreal
