I don't believe for one minute he meant to offend but the fact is he did and in doing what he did he handed the sun some ammo to use which a half smart politician wouldn't have done.

Any half smart politician would have sent out a template devoid of any content which could be interpreted as offensive. Just get a speech writer to type out a sweet letter, have the spin doctors comb though each word to ensure no dangerous ambiguity in any word and then just quickly sign in when an aide hands him it. Job done.
Truth is that in this case he made a mistake while attempting to do something decent. Those who dislike him, and have a unhealthy attitude to political debate, opportunistically used it as an attempt to attack him again.
Some people lost all perspective that they foam at the mouth whenever his name is mentioned and pilloried him instinctively.
