Really not the right thing to say...

When the president was interviewed on "Meet the Press" today, he said of the tragedy of Newtown, CT: "This is something that, you know, that was the worst day of my presidency," he said.

Really? The worst day? Yes, it was terrible. Inhumane and horrible. But the worst day? Apparently the president thinks nothing has happened over the past four years - January 2009 to current day - that could be up there in the 'worst' category. For example:

* Fort Hood, November 5th, 2009: a single gunman killed 13 people and wounded 29 others on a military base.

* Binghamton, N.Y., immigration center, April 3, 2009: 13 killed

* Safeway grocery store in Casas Adobes, Arizona, Jan. 8, 2011: wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six.

* Aurora, Colo., theater, July 20, 2012: 12 dead and 58 wounded

* The Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, April 16, 2007: killed 32 people and wounded 17 others

* Benghazi, in Libya, September 11, 2012: Four people killed, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, ten injured.

Oh, and then there was that small little rainstorm called SUPERSTORM SANDY, October 2012. Sandy killed at least 125 people in the United States. That includes 60 in New York — 48 of them in New York City — 34 in New Jersey and 16 in Pennsylvania. At least seven people died in West Virginia, where the storm dropped heavy snow. Sandy killed 71 people in the Caribbean, including 54 in Haiti. (stats for the storm from this site)

This list doesn't include the tornado disasters in the midwest and the fires in the west... nor all the murders, deadly accidents, suicides and terror scares that occur regularly, or that pesky war thing we've had going non-stop for YEARS...

My point? The president shouldn't use a term like "worst day". It belittles all that happened before and sounds a bit like he's challenging the crazy people.
