The press was barred from witnessing a moment of silence President Obama privately observed Monday for the victims of the Boston bombings, allowing the White House to release its own carefully staged photo of the event.
Other than that the White House decided it wanted Americans to view Obama’s concern for the victims, it’s unclear why the event was staged or what value it had to the public.
Presidents rarely engage in this type of private symbolism, which has regal sense to it – the leader presuming that citizens will want to know he has paternal concern for them and possesses a deep sense of empathy. Obama could easily have taken the more traditional route for the leader of a republic and led the nation together in a moment of silence.
Or he could have privately observed the moment without mentioning it to anyone.
Zitat...it’s unclear why the event was staged or what value it had to the public.
Really? It is unclear why the Regime stages photos? Everything they do revolves around raising money and destroying the GOP.
"As the President has to deal with tragic events in Boston that have nothing to do with Terrorism, since he killed OBL, or has anything to do with Islam, since it is the religion of peace, any money you can contribute during these sad days is greatly needed..."
