Though a regular critic of President Barack Obama, Fox’s Glenn Beck had some praise for the president’s Tucson memorial speech.
Describing it as “probably the best speech [Obama] has ever given,” Beck went on to thank the president for leading and paying a tribute to Saturday’s Tucson shooting victims.
But Beck questioned the timing of Obama’s speech, which took place four days after the shooting.
“Last night, the president said what he should have said on Saturday,” Beck said during a Thursday broadcast of his radio program.
“A leader says that on day one. But it is truly better late than never. This is probably the best speech he has ever given, and with all sincerity, thank you Mr. President, for becoming the President of the United States of America last night. It was needed and you accomplished the job and you did it expertly. Thank you, Mr. President.”
