as the national leader. we ve never seen him get this personal. isn t this exactly what a president should do? express empathy and in doing so, did he hit the right tone? i think he did hit the right tone. there was a lot of thought on his response. there s no question. and it would have seemed out of place if he doesn t address it, especially as the first black president. so i think not only did he hit the right tone, he sent the right message. jackie, do you think we ll hear further from the president on this issue? i don t know that he will. he made his statement. i think it had a lot of reach, and i think at this point he s leaving it up to the justice department. he can t really say any more than that. you all stand by. in just a moment, office politics with david wilson on the president s reelection hopes. that s on the other side of a break here oee tle emotional hetlretl?tl aren t you getting a little industrial?
