“His failure to do so as of yet is hardly surprising, but the GOP “leadership” ought to be insisting behind the scenes that he do so rather quickly, before all hell really breaks loose. “
You are correct, Obama should use this moment to lead the Country. This is not the time to be silent or play political polarization games. The GOP should demand that he does it now. After all, that 5 hour long football game it was reported he was at last night (if true) must be over by now!
The silence and insinuations that the right has something to do with this is completely unacceptable behavior from a POTUS.
President Obama is not a leader. The Arizona tragedy was indeed a terrible one and those killed and injured and those who love them should be respected. Unfortunately, salivating over political gains, principally from the left, obscures this.
I think you make the mistaken assumption that Obama wants to lead..he doesn’t... he is doing his duty to subvert the nation as best he can. After all he is a Godless Marxist. Whenever I hear the boobs on the tube comment that he has to move to the center, or he might move to the center, or he must move to the center, I shake may head..the guy doesn’t give a rat’s behind about moving to the center. His mission is to subvert the nation, so he doesn’t care a whit about moving to the center.
