President Obama will attend the memorial service on Wednesday in Tucson for those killed in Saturday’s shootings.
Expect a lecture.
The Hill reported:
President Obama will travel to Arizona on Wednesday to attend a memorial service for those killed in Saturday’s shootings that targeted Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) for assassination, according to a White House official.
The news that Obama would visit Tucson, where six people were killed and more than a dozen others were wounded by a gunmen on Saturday, came after a day in which the shootings overshadowed a White House agenda focused on diplomacy and foreign affairs.
For much of the Monday, the president sought to balance the roles of comforter and commander in chief as he shuttled between work on foreign affairs and comments on the shootings.
White House officials said Obama and his staff were going about administration business even as the shooting cast a pall around the building, leaving officials speaking in hushed tones and the president disclosing that his own reflections were those of a president “and also a father.”
So will our far left president be able to control his tongue and put the victims ahead of his political agenda?
Doubtful.
Hey, maybe Obama will visit the border while he’s down there, huh?
