So, where was Josh Earnest last week when President Obama said the UCC shooting “is something we should politicize”? Evidently busy not listening to President Obama:
Josh Earnest says that Oregon trip to visit victims is “not about politics"

Josh Earnest: Obama trip to Oregon will not be an example of his call to politicize mass shootings. Will meet families privately
— Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) October 6, 2015
Josh Earnest: In this instance of Oregon visit, the trip will not be about politics but merely consoling the families.

Gee, Josh, that’s quite an about-face, no?

We don’t know who Earnest and his boss are trying to fool, but if it’s us, they royally blew it.
It shouldn’t have been. But shutting the barn door now does nothing to change Obama’s immediate rhetoric. https://t.co/6TAOlkK7Kr

He's lying. Obama himself said he was going to politicize it. https://t.co/SUpq3KOLKP

Except the part where @POTUS bragged about politicizing tragedy. http://t.co/30F9IgLRFC

@charliespiering If you believe Josh Ernest about Obamas Oregan trip, then you're probably still waiting on that $2500 check from ACA too.
