In reply to the discussion: Got back from Boston about an hour ago. [View all]sheshe2
(97,678 posts)17. So sorry for your loss, msanthrope.
I wept for New York and all the lives lost. So heartbreaking.
We come together to heal at times like that.
So much pain that we all suffer together and individually. Each and everyone of us suffer in a different way. Yet to lash out at someone that has never harmed you is inexcusable. No I would never call Barack Obama a piece of shit because of my suffering.
He was not President when the Towers fell, yet he was there for Boston when the bombs went off. He stood for us as he would have for New York.

Indeed. Calling the President a "piece of shit used car salesman" was crass. nt
