I don't think Romney had a choice on this one. I think even Mark Levin said it would be the right thing to do for Obama as pResident to go there.

If Romney had said “the President should not be going to Colorado” whether it be because of the economic situation or whatever, the media would be trying to define him as “heartless” and accuse him of trying to play politics with such a tragedy.

The results could be bad for his campaign.

I'm giving Romney a pass on this one. And I stress on this one

It is not that he goes it is what he says. In that regard President Obie IS going to step in it. He always does. There is where the criticism should be directed to if warranted.

I have been thinking about this today.

I want a President who is dull. D U L L. We barely have to see their mug.
DULL but effective at his/her job.
Work with Congress. Keep us informed with prime time addresses like
Reagan. BUT SPARINGLY.

After election, I really don’t want to see Romney’s mug.

When did the US President have to jump into all these media sensations
24/7 cable events? I realize 12 people died and many are injured, but
bad things happen all over the US. The President has no direct business
there. It’s not a federal issue.

The President does not tell us every week how many US soldiers died.
Only ABC This week on Sunday has it at the end.

When did the President become the Healer in Chief? THank god the
families or the powers that be banned politicians in this year’s Sept. 11
remembrance.

WHy can’t we privately deal with things.

I guess it ties in with Obama’s thinking we are collectivists.
The media and the journolists and the TMZ crowd. We all have
to think and act as one.
He has to be in the center of everything.

I feel badly for the families but I am not watching any Colorado
press radio/TV. Once it is mentioned, gone!

Agreed, he was caught b/w Barack & a hard place ... if asked point-blank, what’s he supposed to say?

However I think that the visit, however well-meaning (a stretch for BHO), was rushed and timed to deflect from current campaign events.

Correct. Of course it’s blatantly political but Romney can’t say so without looking uncaring and even more political. He played it right
