exactly what is "perfect timing"? same day? a week? a month? were similar events that happened outside of obama's terms also the result of the administration at that time.

for the OP:
if you seriously believe that all of the incidents are related then i'd recommend coming up with a criteria for what you consider "taking a hit in the media" then go back and identify each time that has happened in the obama administration. after that identify the tragedy that you believe directly correlates to the "hit" then look for the pattern.

i'll be curious to hear your findings.

But why does it seem every time obama is taking a hit in the media we get a random shooting to take over the lead on the news?

School shootings
Mall shootings
Movie theatre shooting
And now
Airport shooting
My brain is fuzzy..can you remind me what was going on during these shootings to Obama?


School shootings [which school]-
Mall shootings -
movie theater shooting -

Presidents are usually getting bad press about something.
In this country we are usually only a week at most from something tragic happening.
It's coincidence. Good try though, I guess.

Now we can get to see Obama go out on the stump and tell his followers "it will be ok" and "we'll get to the bottom of this"
But it will be ok. And we will get to the bottom of this. Why is it strange to you that Obama would say this?

what's your point?
The president, any president, is always taking a hit from the opposing team.

I'm with you. What the point?

Well there are many things going on everyday. What is chosen to be discussed is certainly not random. The Big 6 certainly serve their purpose. They know where their bread is buttered as well. No tin foil hat required.

Here is an article apparently discussing the list of shootings.

Not all of these were top stories when they happened. Cut your list down to the national big stories and i will find the related obama stories than needed to be squashed.
