President Obama is attending and Speaking at a Tuscon Memorial Service for the Arizona Shooting victims. If he uses the moment to promote his political agenda, or blames his political enemies for the shooting , he is likely to face harsh criticism.
And Yet there are those on the left who will criticize him if he does not use the moment to attack those on the right.
It is my opinion is that politics should be left out of this kind of Memorial Service especially when it is a National tragedy. Expect an admonition for non violence.
President Barack Obama will travel to Tucson, Ariz., on Wednesday to attend a memorial service for the victims of last weekend’s shooting rampage.
White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said late Monday that the president would speak at the service, and that first lady Michelle Obama would accompany her husband.
The University of Arizona said the service would take place at 6 p.m. local time on the campus and would be free and open to the public.

I too think politics should be left out of it. Its fine to attend and say a few words of condolences for the horrific tragedy, but leave it at that. Its not the time or the place for politics. It completely destroys the heartfelt message that’s trying to be conveyed.
