So claims that the POTUS is "classless" are just more sour grapes - an expression of vacuous frustration about not getting your own way in 2008 or 2012.
Liberal/Obama Supporter Auto Response Protocolâ„¢

1. The source isn't valid
2. That's racist
3. GOP obstruction
4. But...but...but George W. Bush
5. Haters gonna hate
6. Sour grapes- your guy lost
7. Repeat 1,2,3,4,5 and/or 6 as needed then insult the opposition for failing to support this great man, declare victory, and move on

FYI: Politicians tend to do exactly that. Strange you have to be informed, as much as you post in the political forum.

I really appreciate the way his cool, calm leadership drives the lunatic fringe over the edge.

I was very surprised to see him talking about the economy as the bloodbath was still unfolding a few blocks away. Very surprised. And like Alphamale, the word "classless" came to mind. This President is a fake. I'm convinced he really doesn't care or empathize or even sympathize with those he purportedly fights for. Its all smoke and mirrors to give off the impression of caring. Barack is only concerned about his legacy at this point.....which is in the crapper on so many fronts. He's desperate to seem like he's in control. He's struggling to get his footing.

Hey, at least THIS time he made his 'benghazi' speech while the dead were piling up and the injured were bleeding instead of golfing, vacationing or campaigning, oh wait, he's ALWAYS campaigning.....

At the very moment that the tragedy was still being sorted out, people fighting for their lives and families finding out that their loved ones have lost their lives, obama says this......"The GOP’s small-government legislators are “a crew” who wish to “sabotage” Obamacare and show “an unwillingness to compromise,” he announced.

“Are some of these folks so beholden to some extremists in their party that they’re willing to tank the entire economy … [and] to hurt people just to score political points?” he asked."



"There’s something seriously wrong with the mind of President Obama. As parts of Washington, DC remained on lockdown after a mass shooting at the Navy yard near Capitol Hill, Obama delivered a partisan speech on the economy that was previously scheduled. You would think he would have postponed his attack on his opponents until the DC shooters were apprehended and the bodies of those murdered weren’t still warm."

The man is a weasel.

Still proud of him?

I partly blame this incident on Barack and Hillary. It is them who encouraged agencies to lower the standards for people permitted to obtain a clearance to get these jobs. So what if you have a history of violence and discharging guns in public?

No, a leader leads. A politician campaigns.

A lunatic wouldn't care.....

Who's the lunatic? The one driving the bus over the cliff (preaching how great things are) or the passengers grabbing for a handhold, praying they'll survive the crash?

Very bad timing. Very poor judgment. Give that speech the next day. Just talk about your empathy for the victims. I think he made a very common human error. We get so worked up about something, that we let it spill over into something unrelated. If I had to guess the presidents mentality, he was frustrated after newtown, and he let that spill into economics.

Just a guess. Again, very inappropriate timing. No excuse, humans are prone to error.

Best post so far of this thread!

Yes. I thought it was very poor timing for yet another of his passive-aggressive, blame others speeches.

I think that the outrage should be pointed at the fact that the economy is still near depression level. More bad news is on its way. Seems like Obama is prepping by blaming the Republicans again.
