Yesterday news broke of the shootings at Fort Hood and some immediately cut to the President who was at the time at a conference.  Watch the video below and decide for yourself, but the problem arises from the fact that instead of addressing the tragedy he instead made a shout out to an individual and made light of the situation.  There does certainly appear to be a level of inappropriateness here, but given the context of the situation it is unclear as to how exactly he should have acted. 

It is pretty clear that plenty of people are extremely upset and dissapointed with the way Obama handled the situation.  Ironically, NBC Chicago wrote a very scathing piece titled Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting.
