LOS ANGELES, September 16, 2013—The real news of September 16th, 2013 was that there was a tragic Navy Yard shooting in Washington, D.C. There were several fatalities. Initial details were not released.

While most Americans recoiled in horror at an act of evil, President Obama treated it as an inconvenience and minor annoyance. The shooter altered the news story about the day, which was supposed to be an Obama press conference where Obama would resume his role as Self-Praiser in Chief of all things Obama.

This day was the five year anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers. The plan was for Obama to give another campaign speech about how he saved the world. Murdered Americans would surely alter his remarks.

Except they would not. His critics see him as a narcissist, and this press conference did nothing to dispel that image. Taste, class and dignity took a back seat to a man determined to talk about what he wanted, regardless of world events around him.

I was surprised he still gave his speech considering the extent of the carnage and proximity to the capital and White house..

but i guess politics can't be stopped.. for any reason..

WASHINGTON — In the aftermath of shootings that left at least 12 dead Monday morning a few blocks from Nationals Park at the Washington Navy Yard, the opener of the Braves’ highly anticipated series against the Nationals was postponed and will made up as part of a Tuesday doubleheader.

“It makes our game seem so unimportant" Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said after the announcement that Monday night’s game had been postponed.

“We got on the bus at 1:30 and we were all still wondering, why are we getting on the bus?” Braves relief pitcher Scott Downs said. “Baseball, I think, was the last thing on everybody’s mind.

I think that’s the last thing anybody wanted to do was come to the ballfield.”

Braves third baseman Chris Johnson said, “That’s way more important than baseball and clinching a division and home-field advantage and all that stuff. People lost their lives.”

at least some in DC made an appropriate choice..
