Comments on President Obama's Charleston speech and Amazing Grace

The only words I’m “putting in your mouth” are those that you yourself typed on your keyboard. See below.

Not an Obama fan, but he did his best. Really, what can you say about a senseless act of violence? All you can do is offer some kind of explanation-whether that resonates with the audience is something only doing it can reveal.

Last week, you seemed to think a speech was an inadequate response (see below). Now, it’s the best he can do?

To me, this sad affair is a lot like the Connecticut school shootings-Obama makes a speech, will probably appoint a commission (to study it), and the whole thing will be forgotten…unless there is political capital to be made off it.
Our cynical politicians have no answers, they just talk a lot.
