President Obama reached out to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) by telephone on the one-year anniversary of the Tucson shooting that severely wounded the Arizona congresswoman and left six people dead.

According to a White House statement, the president told the Arizona Democrat that "he and the First Lady keep her, the families of the fallen, and the whole Tucson community in their daily thoughts and prayers and, along with the entire nation, continue to join her in mourning those lost."

How does one communicate with a vegetable?

I must take up for Giffords here....she is not a vegetable - she has made a remarkable recovery thus far!

Smears like this are unbecoming for a Freeper..............

I seem to recall seeing an interview somewhere when Hussein said that when he prays it is a ‘conversation with myself”. Seriously.

LA Marks Anniversary Of Tucson Tragedy At City Hall

by Ed Mertz KNX1070
January 8, 2012 1:09 PM

The bell at Los Angeles City Hall rang six times Sunday in memory of those killed in a deadly shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz. last year.

The event was part of a nationwide commemoration of the one-year anniversary of a deadly shooting rampage that also left 13 wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.

Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild had asked mayors across the country to commemorate the tragedy.

“And someone spontaneously pulled out a gun and killed 6 people, injured 13 more. So it’s important to remember,” Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge said.

LaBonge filling in for Mayor Antonio Villairagosa struck the bell at 9:11 a.m. Sunday, which was 10:11 a.m. in Tucson — the time the shootings took place.

I feel for this woman and hope she grows stronger each day; but there were others murdered and not even mentioned. May they RIP.

“How does one communicate with a vegetable?”

I had FoxNews on this morning, she was covered standing at the shopping center of the assault.

She was talking with somebody, using at least one arm for gestures.

Hardly a vegetable.

You, on the other hand?

I read she can talk, with difficulty.

She’s unfit to continue in office. Though even with brain trauma she’s probably more with it then Bob Byrd was for the last 10 years of his tenure.
