I don't know if no opinion is what is needed but I do find it disgusting when the headline is what the president thinks about an issue that has nothing to do with the presidency.
When he comes out and tries to lead the nation in mourning after a school shooting or it just seems like obscene politicking to me. The president only needs to say something like "My deepest sympathies go out to all the victims and families involved in this travesty." He doesn't need to have a press conference dedicated to it, he doesn't need to show up and steal the show from the real devastation and grief involved.If as president I am asked what I think about the death of a rock star, or the imbecilic opinions of rich blowhards who own professional sports teams, I will say: ‘Americans should have no interest in my thoughts about such things, if I had any.’
