No sincere compassion from this cold as ice President. AWOL not a surprise, he does not deal with anything that needs compassion or confrontation. He is so out of touch it is sickening, the only reaction is where his next fundraiser/dinner/bs speech is.

The plane being shot down will distract from immigration news for awhile. That should make BO happy.

I agree Jap, never let a good crisis go to waste.

President Obama made a statement about the tradegy to let the American people know that he is aware of the tradegy. The real work is done behind the scenes with his security council. The only people that's complaining and whining are the repubs. It didn't matter if he gave a ten minute briefing about the tradegy repubs would find something to complain about because that is what they do. They are like a broken record that likes to complain and whine about the SOS over and over again. Well no one is paying you any attention. So you can continue to sulk. Sad.
