President Obama was in Delaware on Thursday when a Malaysian airliner went down near Ukraine's border with Russia. The president was scheduled to give a speech on transportation issues, but began his remarks talking about what, at that time, was thought to be a shoot down of a passenger jet.
Daily Mail:
President Barack Obama provoked fury in the U.S. on Thursday by casually devoting less than a minute to the deaths of 295 people aboard a Malaysian airliner, as he began an often jokey 16-minute speech about the need to expand America’s transportation infrastructure.
There are no confirmed American dead and the White House issued a statement on Thursday evening which said they were still seeking any 'information to determine whether there were any American citizens on board'.
An earlier Reuters report claimed that it was feared that as many as 23 U.S. citizens had perished.
Obama declared in Wilmington, Delaware that 'it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy,' but not before enthusiastically declaring that 'it is wonderful to be back in Delaware.'
Before I begin, obviously the world is watching reports of a downed passenger jet near the Russia-Ukraine border. And it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Right now we’re working to determine whether there were American citizens on board. That is our first priority.'
'And I've directed my national security team to stay in close contact with the Ukrainian governemnt. The United States will offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened and why. And as a country, our thoughts and prayers are with all the families and passengers, wherever they call home.
Obama then jarringly quickly returned to his prepared remarks.
'I want to thank Jeremie for that introduction' he said. 'Give Jeremie a big round of applause.'

And there are people who know. I am not talking about Valarie Jarrett and those of her ilk. I am talking about reporters. They know and are saying nothing. They are just as guilty of his evil as he is.
1) The Ukrainian government announced the incident at 9:52 a.m. EDT;
2) The AP reported the Mahdi's remarks at 1:38 p.m. EDT, more than 3 hours after the atrocity; and
3) Regime spokespersons, speaking on background, reported the incident more than three hours before the speech.
How can this country survive two and a half more years of this man?
The WH must be getting a lot of flack.
Obama does a ‘do over’ at 11:00 a.m. ET [or thereabouts] this morning — new remarks regarding the Malaysian airliner.

Maybe, he has been practicing in front of a mirror on how to bite his lower lip and look concerned.
Not only is mac daddy a world class liar he is also a world class coward.
The books that will be published by WH staffers and SS should be very entertaining when he leaves office. Mark my words, he will leave the WH.
I continue to be amazed that people still don’t get it. 0bama isn’t upset over the multiple crises now unfolding around the world and here at home. In fact, things are going just great, better than even he had hoped for. His success at fundamently changing our country and, by extension, the world has, I think, far exceeded his expectations.
According to Rasmussen; 47% are perfectly comfortable with that...
Russia’s propagandists want everyone to believe this atrocity was some kind of conspiracy devised by Obama to make Russia look bad, but the truth is Obama couldn’t care less! He can’t wait to get back to the golf course!
