An Appalling Lack Of Decorum

NBC Chicago has a report today on the President’s speech following the shooting at Fort Hood yesterday.  It’s not news to anyone who reads this site regularly that I am not a fan of President Obama, but his lack of gravity at his press conference yesterday afternoon was unbelievable.  I realize that he had just ended an important conference that was not a somber event, but he needed to take a breath before walking out to make a statement about the events in Texas.  The article cited has a much more detailed political analysis of the impact of the President’s speech, I was just horrified by the human aspect of it.  The lightness the President conveyed at this time was inappropriate and an insult to a country that was stunned by the event.  I hope there will be some sort of restatement or apology.
