I find myself suspecting the Republicans don't actually want to talk about this shooting any more than necessary. They're more comfortable letting Obama set the course of dialog, so they then have something to use to deflect from the real issue.

I'm probably being too cynical, though.

Rational, thoughtful, non partisan behavior by a republican - I had given up hope of ever seeing it, again.

This Party is SO over...
