Im surprised by seeing many posts and comments by people expressing their disappoint and anger that our President has issued an official statement about the passing of Robin Williams. Granted, there are more pressing matters in this world, but for one brief moment our President, on behalf of the American people, expressed the loss that many in this country are feeling. Besides being an entertainer, Mr. Williams supported our troops with many USO shows and visits, he helped raise money to help end hunger in America, and used his celebrity status for the good. For this, Mr. Robbins deserves recognition from the President on behalf of the American people. Any expression of sympathy and sincerity for the loss of a fellow human being does not deserve criticism no matter what status and capacity of that person. Just relax, respect, move forward. (Stepping off soap box)
