Totally inappropriate tone for this guy to take. Cheery pep-rally deal, replete with numerous sports references. Almost like he’s making light of the events in Boston.

Private plane crash.
from Wiki
“Other pilots at the charter company told NTSB that pilot Richard Conry and first officer (co-pilot) Michael Guess both displayed below average flying skills. “

I didn't mean to imply Teddy Kennedy flew the plane, silly.
I meant what happened at the Wellstone funeral. ;-)

Sen Paul Wellstone?
I don't much remember Clinton, but definitely Kennedy's (and others) foulness.Sen. Tom Harkin in revivalist preacher mode was pretty nauseating, too.

Whatd he say??Nothing, but the people need to hear optimism so that's fine but how about those poor Americans who died at Benghazi because of a ----up from both Obama and Hillary...what about those people? Kerry says to move on....NOT ON YOUR LIFE BOZO!

Hi Lazmataz......It surely was a Pep Rally...and one place he knew he's get applause. I didn't hear much at all about the victims....the focus was entirely about maintaining the adulation that was given him there.

I had exactly the same reaction...all the standing around yukking it up like at Wellstone...only Romney to his credit showed some dignity and somberness
Why pray tell do we as a nation and our media have to make every crisis about everything
My tears welled up listening about the dead child and the dead young woman...as a parent of many..it's hard to hear that
But while I feel so much empathy I do not need to be a part of it.
We do this now with evertyhting..
I know we did not do this with every WWII setback or horror or after Korea or Vietnam or national tragedies back then
I recall Vietnam horrors...Hamburger Hill or Hue or the A Shau..we didn't have memorial services on TV for pols and interfaith religious services broadcast by Walter or Chet or David or Roger or Eric
or after Hurricane Camille which i was in...there was none of that nationwide...no Bruce Springsteen running to make a splash
this sort of stuff about memorializing for closure every tragedy is a sign of a weak culture
bent on accommodation and instant relief rather than a sound course of victory
it's insidious

To: swamprebel
That’s exactly the way....
Obama didn’t “share” their pain.....(It was after all a Memorial Service for the victims)....he completely side-stepped that fact and ushered in a Pep-Rally complete with the audiance rising to their feet in celebration.
The Piper played..and they danced.

Cheery pep-rally deal, replete with numerous sports references. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Shout out to UMass and my BC posse! Umm, you know, I was telling Michelle, for an explosive team, those Red Sox really bombed last night! And let me be clear: those Celtics, they lower the boom! And make no mistake: I always have a blast watchin' the Patriots!"
Like that, sorta?
