Its a typical reaction- stigmatize your opponents, stigmatize certain points of view -make everything that happens about YOUR issue. Politics 101 on all sides.

Of course the president is going to politicize everything- he is a politician and his job is to make sure his message resonates with those he is appealing too.

It seems almost in bad taste to talk about dollars and cents after an act of mass murder. Nonetheless, we must ask about the economic aftershocks from Tuesday's horror.

Yep companies blamed 9/11 a lot back when in many instances it was their own fault but 9/11 was convenient to blame
