This isn't Obama's "My Pet Goat" moment, this is worse.
On 9/11, George Bush was talking to schoolchildren who had no idea that their world was about to change forever. A child doesn't understand Islamic terrorism, they just know the adult up at the head of the class looked worried and had to leave right away.
Obama was in front of adults, and he had more information about the current situation than Bush did on 9/11. He said being Commander In Chief was his greatest responsibility, but his actions said something else, for his first concern in his speech was for the politicians and supporters that surrounded him.
Bush showed concern for children. Obama showed love to his political supporters. One person showed love, one showed obsequiousness.
One President was serious about his job, and the other is still campaigning for it.
It's even worse than you note, Kevin.
Bush was in the middle of his event when the news of 9/11 reached him.
Obama KNEW ABOUT what happened at Fort Hood BEFORE he took the podium.
Bush was trying not to panic everyone in the room, especially the children, and wrapped up his appearance quickly.
Obama CHOSE to delay talking about the Fort Hood attack so he could get in a "shout out" to his peeps first.
Disgusting.

Um (at 2: 00 minutes in)... what was this conference supposed to be about again?

all those people and organizations he gave shouts outs to before remarking on a crime spree... do they feel like those sponsors of television news shows that buy time right coincidentally right after terrible news has broken? "gee... am I happy the President just pitched my program right before he addresses the nation about a significant tragedy?"

Like was mentioned above, it kills me that Obama gets easy things wrong even when he should be prepared. This wasn't his extemporaneous reaction, this was planned. How can you get this wrong?
