Jeff:

you do realise he was talking to children right? I mean kids who were probably scared as it was. He tried to cheer them up a bit. He did not say it to as group of adults, and certainly was trying to make the best of the situation for the children. I don't get it, if he was talking to a roomful of displaced adults or business owners, yes, jump all over him, but he was trying to cheer up children...
