Why doesn't Obama acknowledge the incidiary and devisive rhetorics he's used in the past like:
"they cling to their religion and their guns"
"If they bring a knife to the fight, we'll bring a gun"
"punish our enemies and reward our friends"
"they have to sit in the back on this"
Why doesn't he apologize to the American public for helping to set the example that vitriolic political rhetoric is acceptable and pledge to stop and encourage members of his own party, and Congress as a whole, to do the same?
Are national moments of silence and appearances at an AZ memorial enough? Or, do you think that Obama should accept his role in the escalation of vitriolic rhetoric, apologize for the bad example he set in so doing, and pledge to stop it while inviting other elected representatives to do the same?
Because he's a POS POTUS.
Obama's pledges mean nothing, his moments of silence and appearences are as empty as his pledges. A year and a half couldn't come fast enough. I hold no greater expectations from the man than I would a snot nosed kid.
He's certainly made some missteps. But I don't think his rhetoric has been consistently vitriolic, or even divisive. I think he's made several overtures to working together with his opposition.
How do you know he won't be leading by example from now on? Why don't you wait for him to say something before you question why he's saying it?
Besides if the rhetoric had nothing to do with the shooting then why does he need to address it in regards to the shooting?
1) Because so many members of his party are pointing the finger at the rhetoric.
2) Because he is the default leader of the Democrat party just by holding the highest elected postition.
3) Because as a leader he should realize that increasing political tensions to the extent that we have seen in the rhectoric of mudslinging following the mass murder, even though it was not a causal factor in and of itself, is destructive to the fabric of our political system and only serves to plant the seeds of distrust.
4) Because leaders are actually supposed to lead and not dither to see which ways the winds of political opinion are blowing before making a statement about that which is controling the political conversation in this country.
