Just ... Wow ...

Why I pray for our president's health and safety every day.

I have to be missing some context there. People seemed to appreciate the vice president's words, and it makes no sense that they would smile when told that the bombing was worth it to hear the survivors speak a year later. Were they not paying attention? Was there something else I'm just not seeing?

Or does nobody expect much from him?

UPDATE: Thanks to Stones Cry Out for the link. I honestly hope to post an update putting the statement into a context that just doesn't make it sound like our vice president simply doesn't want a bloody Boston Matathon bombing crisis to go to waste.
