Obviously, Chula. I'm not as stupid as you assume I must be for having the gall to disagree with you. Just because it can be beneficial to some doesn't mean that it's a necessary function of the president.

Presidential Tragedy Reactions and the 'Comforter-in-Chief' | Time
I actually agree with Frown. The point about the president comforting people is that the tragedy can usually be traced back to being his fault. A war, a policy, a lack of policy, a shut-down of an industry ... when it's your fault, directly or indirectly, saying sorry seems a total dick move and surely can't comfort anyone.

Sorry we didn't fix those levees and your family drowned.
Sorry we had to send your dad to his death in a pointless war.
Sorry your sister died at the hands of a rapist our system paroled or didn't jail for long enough
Sorry
Sorry
Sorry
We're so sorry.
****. That. ****.
