Were President Obama’s Fort Hood Remarks Inappropriate?

Shortly after Major Malik Nadal Hasan opened fire at Ft. Hood in Texas, President Barack Obama held a press conference to address the issue. But before getting around to the shooting that had already claimed a dozen lives and wounded at least 31 people, he began his remarks by saying:

I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It’s good to see you.

What do you think about this?  Soldiers were killed at the largest activity duty armored post in the United States but the President wants to say hi to Joe?
