US President Barack Obama wept as he addressed the nation in the aftermath of the school shootings in Connecticut.
Mr Obama paused repeatedly as he struggled to keep his composure while speaking of the children who had been killed and the milestones in their lives they would never have - birthdays, graduations, weddings.
"Our hearts are broken today," he said, at times using a finger to wipe tears at the corners of his eyes.
Mr Obama said he had reacted to news of the elementary school shooting first as a parent.
He added that he and First Lady Michelle would do what any other parent in America would do - "hug our children a little tighter".
"There is not a parent in America who does not feel the same overwhelming grief I do," he said.
Mr Obama called for "meaningful action" regardless of politics.

Soetoro reminded me of Bubba Klinton when he left the Ron Brown Funeral crying after he saw the camera looking right at him.
Or rather he TRIED to say Scripture.
The left has begun building obammys crying crap up to heavenly proportions.
That doesn't surprise me. After all, Roger Ailes is the one who started a program for "diversity in journalism", and invited Jesse Jackson to speak at the class's graduation.
His eyes are reddened in that photo. They were bright white today.
REAL
All the future tax money lost to the government today really shook Obama up.
Bet Soros gave him quite a drumming over the killing of those children.
That’s 20 or 30 million lost to Soros, unions, and other liberal predators.
Feudal lords are very protective of their peasants, there’s no money without them.
This is an unbearably sad day; however, he doesn’t shed a tear over the millions of babies killed by abortion.
Also, who told him shedding a tear or two would be the thing to do...and how many times did he have to practice? There is no sympathy or human feeling in him.
Onion juice. a little on the fingers...then go out...rub your eyes...Tears!
Oh lord, take this man back to his homeland...Kenya. Please.
Oh lord, take this man back to his homeland...Kenya. Please.
Chuck Todd just now on NBC needs to wipe his chin after his report. Good grief.
Onion juice or some cayenne pepper. He tried several times to get it going but failed. He fails a lot.
Thank you, btw!!
“when he pretended to cry” <<
Correctamundo!
When people cry they usually don’t try to wipe anything.
Hillary Clinton cries in Connecticut (On Drudge)
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Sen. Hillary Clinton teared up this morning at an event at the Yale Child Study Center, where she worked while in law school in the early 1970s.Will Clinton's "Cry" be the new Dean "Scream?"A doctor, who was introducing Clinton, began to choke up, leading Clinton's eyes to fill with tears, which she wiped out of her left eye. At the time, the doctor was saying how proud he was that sheepskin-coat, bell-bottom-wearing young woman he met in 1972 was now running for president.
"Well, I said I would not tear up; already we're not exactly on the path," Clinton said with emotion after the introduction.
Clinton is holding a roundtable discussion with Connecticut women to talk about childcare and healthcare.
When Clinton got misty-eyed at an event in New Hampshire on Jan. 7, politicos and pundits filled hours discussing if it helped her, and Clinton eventually pointed to the moment as when she "found her voice" and turned the corner in the Granite State.
At the time, there was much debate if the candidate's emotional response to a question -- "How do you do it?"" -- was genuine or calculated.
Until the votes are counted Tuesday night in New Hampshire, you won't be able to turn on a news program without hearing about Hillary Clinton "crying" at a campaign event Monday in New Hampshire. Is this a cry? And the larger question: Who cares?

Correct! This is the real story here. All of those supporting abortion have no right to make any fuss on this.
Cries? When did Obama cry? I missed the tears.
Ageed...The crazies are lose everywhere. If just one of those teachers had a 38 with a laser. Just one who would use it.
Wonder how many times “wipe tears from your left eye” was in the script on the teleprompter he kept reading from......
Sandy photo-op was about the POTUS election vote. Today, it was about the gun control vote. (FWIW, I didn't think it was oscar or award worthy fake crying as is being purported.)
