Charlotte in Hollywood CA says of this article mentioned by Rush Limbaugh on his radio program today:
Clever acerbic analysis dripping with sarcasm!!…………and interestingly, from the LA Times. [See again the smallest, least impressive, least appropriately dressed individual in the now famous group shot…………looks like a little kid whose parents yanked him off of the playground, dragged him indoors, sat him down and said, “Sit still and WATCH!

A dramatic presidential address was scheduled for late that evening. And because the president wanted to get all of his detailed ducks in a row, his major announcement actually came an hour late.
Still, it triggered seemingly spontaneous celebrations over the mass murderer’s murder in the streets of Washington and, of course, New York, as well as a satisfying sense of closure for millions of Americans who remember that awful 9/11 day and the bombings of the USS Cole and embassies in East Africa.
