Quote from MeFi, if you didn't see it:
I had a very similar discussion with my daughter on that evening while we were waiting for the president to give his speech.  Has anyone explained why it took him 90 minutes to get to the microphones?  I imagine he was on the phone with Pakistan, but that's entirely speculative.

Could be good old razzle dazzle showmanship.

I mean, it takes roadies 5 minutes to set up and tear down between bands, why they gotta stretch it to 30?

At some point he chatted with George, and I'm sure that was an interesting convo. Also, thanks, George.

I got the feeling that there was a list of people that either the President or someone senior in the White House probably should tell in private before a public announcement, just so that no feathers were ruffled and...

That there was a burst of last minute "yeah, we probably should call them first too" situations added to said list.

I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.

Quote from: Martin Luther King
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
