this white house, right? if you think about what happened with the service members lost on the "uss john s. mccain." you did not hear the president talk about that. he talked about it eventually but it was pretty late and muted. >> if we blamed him for the loss of life, he would then talk about it, maybe? >> as i said earlier, it's all reactive. this just has not been a high priority of his. we have seen him repeatedly enjoy the role of comforter and chief when it involved traveling to a location like a hurricane or the horrific shootings in las vegas. he's not doing that here. it's a bit mystifying. >> maggie, always good to talk to you.
