I’d like to see him transcend demagoguery. No one has commented so far on Obama’s “condolences” last night for the tornado victims, which was immediately followed by this rehearsed-sounding hope: “that our federal government will respond quickly and rapidly to make sure that they get all the help they need”.
The crowd responded with “oohs” to the obvious Katrina reference, but today I can find no mention of this unseemly and cold use of others’ tragedies for political gain.
Not the first problem Obama has had with a tornado victims comment, but this one goes unnoticed anyway.
