'It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy': Obama goes AWOL again with just 40-second mention of Malaysian plane crash feared to have killed Americans before his jokey 16-minute transport speech

President Barack Obama provoked fury in the U.S. on Thursday by casually devoting less than a minute to the deaths of 295 people aboard a Malaysian airliner, as he began an often jokey 16-minute speech about the need to expand America’s transportation infrastructure.

There are no confirmed American dead, an earlier Reuters report claimed that it was feared that as many as 23 U.S. citizens had perished.

Obama declared in Wilmington, Delaware that 'it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy,' but not before enthusiastically declaring that 'it is wonderful to be back in Delaware.'

Obama looks looks horrible and he keeps killing the Democrats hopes of ever retaining the Senate.

Why does an unpopular President personally push an agenda?

It’s like O.J. Simpson pitching Ginsu Knives.

Russia is a huge problem. You know Russia will continue to invade, you know this? You know they are the biggest threat to the USA.

Even Piers Morgan agrees

Let me help, Mr President - it IS a terrible tragedy, and it's more probably mass murder of your citizens & many other nations' citizens.

President Obama massively dropped the ball just now. 23 Americans killed and he says 'it looks like a terrible tragedy' then back to joke

I dunno....I would trust OJ's word on knives more than Obama's word on anything. At least OJ has a little expert knowledge on the subject.

Because no one can stop him. He's got a wide network of fellow Marxists helping push it along, and the dumbasses to defend him.

Yes it is a tragedy and Americans have died, but what exactly should Obama say here. Unsure why people need a public statement every time something occurs around the world.

I'm sure you were saying this same exact thing on 9/10/01, right?

I agree, 47% plus the overwhelming majority of the media make the left a political bully.
But Obama doesn’t help that one bit… if anything, he’s a liability.
