No Decency Nor Shame

Michael Goodwin, writing for the New York Post, concerning the inappropriateness of President Obama's speech upon hearing of the Navy Yard shootings:
The content of Monday’s hyperpartisan speech was par for your hyperpartisan presidency, but the timing marked a new low. Let me be clear: Have you neither decency nor shame?
The brief answer to Goodwin's question is "apparently not."

I saw a snippet of this speech on the PBS News Hour which carefully trimmed off the partisan attack, showing only the "we're sorry for your loss" introduction. Naturally, as apologists for Obama, PBS was trying to cover up what they clearly recognized as his faux pas.
