The criticism has included such childishness as blasting Obama for waiting a few days before making a national speech on the incident ... Partisanship truly has pervasively infected our political system when a reasonable, measured, factual, timely and substantive response by a president to a single security incident--the roots of which clearly indicate long-simmering problems that predated his tenure in office--is publicly blasted as irresponsible. In point of fact, those levelling such counterproductive attacks are the ones engaging in irresponsible behavior.
