No doubt. 295 dead, 23 Americans. Needless. Useless.

Good grief, someone get that man a teleprompter, stat.

Cool, let's politicize the death of 295 human beings, just for the fun of it. I suspect it's just a matter of time before the Boehner & Palin accuse Obama of launching the missile from the roof of the White House. Congressional hearings should be scheduled shortly.

A president with a backbone would have taken decisive action to prevent this what most experts are calling a tragedy.

Worked after 9-11, why would this be any different?

I believe he said that when they weren't sure if it was shot down or an accident. He has to make sure he doesn't accuse or talk toward one direction if it's the other.

Of course, what's said during that dot, dot, dot may have helped give context.

I'm just going to hijack this thread and say that there's a pretty unpleasant connotation about all the teleprompter jokes about our first black president. Not too hard to see what's lurking underneath them.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch--my God, this has not been a very good year for Malaysian Airlines. Wow.

that he's not as good of a public speaker as everyone made him out to be when he first ran?

That he's black, and black people really don't talk so good! See, it's funny.
