That's it. We have an administration to which absolutely everything has a political motivation. Obama is falling in the polls, The Senate was voting on the appropriation bill, And it was May Day. There is a political connotation to all of these and therefore the timing seems suspicious.
We have had administrations before that have been political but were trusted when it came to national security issues.
FDR would have been trusted if he were to announce that our forces had killed Hitler.
Wilson would have been trusted if he announced the death of the Kaiser
Nixon would have been trusted if he had announced the death of Walter Cronkite
And Jimmy Carter .... Well, he might have had to resign
My point is, trust is a thing that isn't imbued by holding office It has to be earned and our current President hasn't earned the trust of the American people
Think about it....He used the Tuscon shooting as an example of America coming together...I guess that is his recollection, not mine BUT............He spoke at the Memorial Service, a Memorial Service in an auditorium not filled with mourners from the community but with college kids. Was it a COINCIDENCE that they gave out FREE T-SHIRTS, to the mourners with his 2012 Campaign slogan on the back???
BTW, I had NEVER heard of getting a commemorative T-Shirt at a Memorial Service.
