3. Yep. Yesterday Gibbs said the memorial would be
scheduled at the convenience of the soldiers' families and that the Prez would delay his Asia trip if necessary.

5. And our Dallas paper is already turning it into a moment to make partisan jabs
They put up a blog about POTUS going, questioning if he can "fulfill one particular presidential role, that of "consoler-in-chief."

BTW, the staff writer who wrote the blog, is the same guy who got kicked off Pres Obama's plane back when he was still campaigning for POTUS.

7. Turning tragedy into partisan sniping is a right wing specialty. I hope
this backfires big time.
