I am also glad, for the most part, people here aren't dragging them over the coals. Look, I don't care for either one of them, but they did something, which is better than nothing, but either way they will lambasted. They shouldn't have had to do anything. A real president would have already known how to respond and how to act. Sadly, he is neither a real president or a descent human being. I also want people to think about the fact that every time something like this happens how people "expect" members of the affected group to "act a certain way". Generally, we don't like it when the other side demands our people act or speak out on their (the other side's) terms.
