Inappropriate. Rather than stating sympathy or any words of comfort all he could talk about were his policies on gun control.
As stated before I am a registered democrat. I voted for Obama in the first election and in the 2nd Mitt Romney.
I think we get so intertwined in issues and politics it makes us ineffective at solving anything in a meaningful and constructive way.
So you got what you wanted. No gun control. Obama simply does not have the time to grieve, attend all the funerals, etc....for all of these repeated school shootings.
He's frustrated, and it's understandable. I suspect the President has made a private call of condolence to the most recently bereaved family in which he expressed his sorrow for their loss, as is the custom for the office. His public call for our nation to finally do something in the aftermath of this latest school shooting is hardly inappropriate.

You're joking .. right?
The clown-n-chief can't even bother to call the dead soldiers families, you know, the ones who died searching for a deserter?
I see you don't mind the number of school shootings that have happened in this country. Shame I can't stick my head in the sand like other people can.
We can always be more like China!
What will be your crying points then?
GET OFF the myna-bird .. Gun Grabbing meme!
School attacks in China (2010–12)
Quote:
A series of uncoordinated mass stabbings, hammer attacks, and cleaver attacks in the People's Republic of China began in March 2010. The spate of attacks left at least 25 dead and some 115 injured. As most cases had no known motive, analysts have blamed mental health problems caused by rapid social change for the rise in these kinds of mass murder and murder-suicide incidents.[1] Such attacks are extremely rare in the United States such as the 2013 stabbing at the Lone Star College in Texas in 2013, and other nations have had unexplained serial killings.
As the Chenpeng school attack was followed by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in the United States hours later[2][3] comparisons were drawn between the two. The difference in gun control laws between the two countries was used to explain the disparity in casualties of the school attacks by journalists and politicians, including U.S. Representative Jerry Nadler,[4][5] and an article in the Associated Press noted that despite the different outcomes, an underlying commonality between the attacks was the increased frequency of school attacks because, "attackers often seek out the vulnerable, hoping to amplify their outrage before they themselves often commit suicide.
On March 23, 2010, Zheng Minsheng 41, murdered eight children with a knife in an elementary school in Nanping,Fujian province.
Just a few hours after the execution of Zheng Minsheng in neighboring Fujian Province, in Leizhou, Guangdong another knife-wielding man named Chen Kangbing, 33 at Hongfu Primary School wounded 16 students and a teacher.
Chen Kangbing had been a teacher at a different primary school in Leizhou, but was on sick leave due to mental illness.
He was sentenced to death by a court in Zhanjiang in June.
On April 29 in Taixing, Jiangsu, unemployed 47-year-old Xu Yuyuan went to Zhongxin Kindergarten and stabbed 28 students and two teachers after stabbing the security guard, most of the Taixing students were 4 years old. The attack was the second in China in just two days.
On April 30, Wang Yonglai used a hammer to cause head injury to preschool children in Weifang, Shandong, then used gasoline to commit suicide by self-immolation.
Of course! The mantra of these folks is to blame the TOOL, not the person! IF the person should be blamed by some quirk, be sure to show all the problems that caused the poor person to go berserk; he was bullied, no girls liked him, he was short, he was tall, he was skinny, he was fat, he got straight A's in school, he didn't get straight A's in school, etc....
BUT, generally, it is the fault of the TOOL! Those dang GUNS just jump into someones hand and FORCE them to do terrible things!
Those dang GUNS get in the hands of children, mentally disturbed, and criminals way too easy!

You bots are truly brain dead!
Did Bush make 3,000 phone calls? One for each soldier killed under his watch in Iraq and Afghanistan?
