twesterm said: Wow, that's horrible. Random, but I found an odd quote from Obama in one of the articles: President Obama called it a "cruel and incomprehensible" tragedy" and pledged swift U.S. support. Cruel just seems an odd word to use since an earthquake can't really be cruel, malicious, or anything like that. |
He could be using it in the way people talk about fate or luck being cruel I guess?
