As I am sure you are aware of no matter what country you, my reader's might happen to live in, it is safe to say you have heard about the tragic shooting of a Congresswoman and 18 others in Tucson, Arizona.
There has been alot of talk about it over the last five days (It happened Saturday, the 8th of January) and some it has not been good. One reason of why it hasn't been good is because there have been people pointing fingers at the wrong people, mostly political persons either Republican or Democrat. It isn't their fault. There is only one person to blame for this and that is the mastermind behind it. This guy defiantly was not using his brain when he committed this foul act.
I think it is one of the reasons I do not follow politics all that much is because no one wants to take blame for something. It's either 'I'll blame the Right or the Left' News Flash, this tragedy is neither a democrats fault or a republicans fault. The reason why it has become that is because this Congress Woman, Gabrielle Giffords was having a rally of sorts and the shooter showed up to a degree and opened fire. I think that is the reason for the political angle.
Why do politicians do this? There is no need for it.
A journalist on Fox news Channel, a cable news network named Alan Combs, a democrat was a guest on a very popular news program called 'Bill O'reilly' or, The 'O'Reilly Factor'.O'Reilly had made a comment about another criminal case and this Combs just let loose on how he thought the Right (Republican's) were at fault for this crime. It was unnecessary.
In addressing the Nation (America) in a memorial service from Tucson, President Barack Obama said it best: Time to put away all the finger pointing and come together as a nation so we can heal. I would agree with that.
In 1986, President Ronald Reagan dealt with the space shuttle Challenger tragedy. 1994 or 1995, Bill Clinton delt with Oklahoma City and the bombing, 2001, G.W. Bush delt with 9/11 and now Obama has to deal with the Tucson tragedy. Each tragedy from Reagan to Obama helped define that presidents Administration for how he handled it and how he helped America get through it.
This could be a defining moment in the Obama administration. And for History.
David.
