Obama handles it with a fairly dignified break in his normal speaking engagement and calls it a tragedy.
Reagan held an evening telecast to all Americans that put the blame square on the Russians and noted that no other government in the world does this (not even the crazy North Koreans, though Reagan doesn't mention them).
FLASHBACK: Presidents Reagan & Obama Address America on Russians Shooting Down Passenger Airliners
The key differences are that 1) the recent jet incident was not involving an American aircraft, and 2) while Reagan holds the Russians accountable for their actions Obama does not. It is a tragedy as if Russians just cant help shooting down aircraft, like Democratic city mayors just can help being crooks and tied to gangs and Democrat President just help but be liars and frauds (with the notable exception of Jimmy Carter, God bless him).
What other differences are there that I have missed?
