"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
To shrug off murder and casualty so nonchalantly, and to suggest a politician's potential side-benefit takes precedence in the eyes of his supporters, you sound like an utter asshole when you type things like that.
For the record, Presidents stand up and take notice of tragedy. It's what they do. Part of the job. It's what Americans expect. All of them. Sorry if it wasn't the bullhorn moment you needed, even if you didn't vote for him.
You conveniently left out W's "9/11 moment," standing on the rubble in New York, by the way. Prior to that, his future was far from decided. Care to characterize that tragedy as something Bush needed, making the rest something we should just "let go?"
