Obama tried to use it as a political rally and now the white house is trying to backtrack. That is a sick group of folks.
The media has been talking about Obama needing a OKC moment, like Clinton, so when this happened they launched. Only, the mood of the country is different then. Also, Clinton is a showman and he can be endearing. Obama isn’t the cute and cuddley. I don’t think the attacks were as vicisious this time around.
Obama walked into that arena thinking he was getting his OKC moment and that the nation would be appreciative and fall at his feet. What he doesn’t understand is many of us could see right through the masquarade. It should have been about the greiving families, not about him.
