He doesn't even have to react anymore. Just cut, paste, and fill in the blanks. "Phone it in." That's what he's doing already, why not make it official...the "Atrocities Occurring During Iraq Occupation Standard Presidential Condemnation Template."
"President Bush Condemns Murder of (FILL IN NAME HERE)
Statement by the President (FILL IN LOCATION OF PRESIDENT AT TIME OF STATEMENT HERE)
(FILL IN DATE AND TIME HERE)
THE PRESIDENT: I want to express my deepest condolences to the family of (FILL IN NAME HERE). We send our prayers and sympathies to them during this very troubling time.
The murder of (FILL IN FIRST NAME HERE) shows the evil nature of the enemy we face. These are barbaric people. There's no justification whatsoever for his murder, and yet they killed him in cold blood. And it should remind us that we must pursue these people, and bring them to justice before they hurt other Americans. See, they're trying to intimidate America. They're trying to shake our will; they're trying to get us to retreat from the world. America will not retreat. America will not be intimidated by these kinds of extremist thugs.
May God bless (FILL IN NAME HERE). Thank you.
END
(FILL IN TIME HERE)"
