Obama reacted as he always (it seems) reacts. When faced with controversy or threat he punts. The Wright “eruptions” demonstrated this, he delayed, ignored, and finally when forced to say “something” he reacted 2x with ambiguity. It would be fun to watch him (as a president) trying to talk much/say nothing when faced with real threat. Trouble is we can’t afford to lose in situations like this. Our best pay in blood for weakness.

Loath to react, ambiguous in response = weak.
