Pep Rally, NBA Draft, Campaign Stop Or Revival?

Arizona saw a strange combination of hooting students, political figures, grieving friends and love ones and hanger ons that felt the need to just be there, ones wanting to share a momentary spotlight and some little gravitas from speakers that addressed agendas of their own.

The main speaker, President Barack Obama, spoke to a legacy of this tragedy in which he sees himself as the main character of adoration.

It was shameless.

This is the opening event of the 2012 election.

I think it was odd in an odd sort of way.

More importantly, it is good to hear that those that survived the attack by a madman are improving.

I still don't know if this was a pep rally, a NBA draft announcement, campaign stop or a revival.

It was odd at best.
