The man should have FORGOTTEN about the tribal thingy and FOCUSED on the murdered troops..Instead, we got a shout-out to someone and the murdered troops were an afterthought..

I think it was the wrong choice also. But I have no problem with Obama's words on the situation and at a time when American soldiers have just been murdered and are fighting for their lives, some might consider it an inappropriate time and situation to take what many mught consider nitpicking potshots at their commander-in-chief.

After his response to his statement yesterday where he waited 3 minutes to address the tragedy, do you consider criticism of him to be a “nit-picking potshot”????

Then “some” need to find a grown-up to have “nitpicking” defined for them

I am a pretty objective person. But I was personally, not politically, offended. This is our Commander in Chief. These are the men and women under his command. These soldiers are the humans that the President of the United States can send to war, to die, for our freedoms. Nitpicking would be that he decided not to cancel the event. Nitpicking would be he decided to make a huge show out of flying to Texas for a photo-op (had he done that instead).

Saying he shows no authentic emotion or addresses the issue as an afterthought is outright insulting and offensive. It was the number one things on the minds of most American's last night as the nation watched in horror. It was not the number one thing on the mind of our president.
