It was just a quickly prepared response that had to be made because if he didn't he would have eaten hell.

My point wasn't to give him a free pass. What I'm saying is that your response of "are you ####ing kidding me?!" to his poorly worded message seemed kind of over the top for someone who's clearly been following his trainwreck of a presidency very closely. What were you expecting from this president? A tearful YouTube video tribute to McCain?I just think it's a waste of time to focus on little things like a poorly worded sympathy message when there are much more serious issues going on that people's attention should be focused. To me when people start nitpicking very basic human mistakes politicians make, it takes away from those people's credibility when they attack them for other more legitimate reasons. And it gives this president the ability to play the victim to his supporters, which if I had to guess, he'd probably try to use to his advantage. Lastly imagine how it would look if he came out for a press conference(if he ever held one) with one of his shoes untied and someone jumped out and said "Are you ####ing kidding me? Can't you even tie your shoes mr president?" Who comes off as more foolish in that scenario? People make small unintentional mistakes, even politicians, let's hold them accountable for the mistakes that actually matter shall we?
