It's too late when he doesn't say Something after its reported that he knew. A decisive and intelligent leader would say the right thing immediately. All he had to do was show compassion. Anything would be better than a canned speech later. Thats not only lame as a president or leader its lame, really lame, as a person.

This is half his problem - He isn't that smart - He isn't the best speaker - He is supposed to be a moral man - use that for G--s sake! Pretty much all he has left - if he's got that at all.
