There is nothing significant or noteworthy about any public official offering condolences or sympathy in the wake of tragedies that may happen. Hell, what would be noteworthy if is an official didn't offer such. Tarc (talk) 00:34, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
A president offering condolences? Imagine that. Not notable in the least. Grsz11 01:15, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Non-notable collection of non-notable facts. Also WP:NOTNEWS. —DoRD (talk) 01:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
...Not notable. The condolences, not the events.... DD2K (talk) 03:46, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
lame, hardly very special; all presidents deliver condolences after disasters or murders or after famous people die. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 03:57, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
...examples of a president doing something that's a completely normal and unexceptional thing for a president to do.... Bearcat (talk) 06:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
All the stuff listed in the article are completely normal and expected from the president. It would be more article worthy if he did not give condolences. Brothejr (talk) 09:39, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
a president of a nation offering condolences is not inherently notable. the events may have this mentioned if the individual condolence has some degree of notability, but this subject is similar to (my favorite fake example), movies parodied by mad magazine. its not inherently notable to be parodied by mad, though some parodies may become notable. this is routine diplomatic and ritual behavior from a public figure. wed need one for each president in our history, along with every other public figure of national stature in all of history. why obama? that makes it pure POV.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Heads of state do this all the time, not-notable list. ukexpat (talk) 22:00, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
