I sincerely doubt that Romney is stupid. That’s why he said it was the right thing to do. He would be crucified for saying anything else - as emotions are running very high right now on this issue.
We all know, of course, that zero’s real reason is for political reasons - nothing more, nothing less. He doesn’t give a rat’s behind about any of the victims or their families. He only cares about votes. His speech after the tragedy was dull, lifeless, and insincere. Not one ounce of comfort came from his hollow words. He did manage to turn it to himself by pointing out that his daughters also go to the movies. So, what? They have secret service at their beck and call.
Romney’s speech, on the other hand, had just the right tone, was comforting and heart-felt. Notice the difference - one is presidential, the other play acting.
IMHO, Romney would score more points if he called Obama’s visit what it is: a campaign stop. Instead, Romney sounds like John McCain. That’s not good.
