Observations about Tuscon Tragedy

I came across an article that compares the recent tragedy in Tuscon with the earlier tragedy at Fort Hood.  What is interesting to note is how different the reaction of obama is between the two instances.  Obama's uncaring response at Fort Hood was marked by a shout-out.   Two of the reasons for this difference might be, 1. Obama's general non-support of US troops; 2.  The most important thing with the Fort Hood incident was to not offend any Muslims.

Comparison of Tragedy

In another article, the author wants to show how the American public shares in the blame for the Tuscon incident because of how politically screwed up the country is.  There is a lot of truth in what he says, but I think it is important to remember that the politics happened after the murders.  The gunman was not into politics.

Who killed the little girl?
