What kind of political consequences exist for a president who mourns for the death of Christopher Hitchens?

There should be no consequences.  I didn’t agree with everything Christopher Hitchens said and wrote, but he was a thinker and this world should always mourn the loss of a brain and a voice like Hitchens possessed. 

We need more intellectual power so that our discussions and debates don’t continue to get progressively dumber.  It’s a shame that we’ve lost an output for some of it.
