Obama's remark has caused an uproar though. All the major news/media are talking about it and not in a way that excuses the President. For example ...
see, i think that article
is the "free pass." if bush or palin made a similar comment, your quoted article would replace the "disappointment" tone with a much stronger "you dumb fuck shit head!" tone. a substantial and tremendous contrast would separate the two.
however, at the same time, i think the article you quoted is the
appropriate response; "disappointment," but not "end of the world knee jerk reaction i hate you and want for murder"
