If he left immediately, took about 1000 reporters with him and made the speech all about how this was a tragic occasion and somehow relates it all back to him being the first african-american president and turned everythign into a photo-op, then yes, you are correct. If he would have went and told the photogs to just stay away, not so much. Did I hear right that instead of going there, he went to Camp David for a few days instead? Just asking.
Somehow I have the feeling that no matter how he handled this you would have found a reason to criticize.
