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.

Don’t worry, he’ll be kicking the asses of Lawful Gun Owners like you and me in no time.
Quoting the Second Amendment in defense of the upcoming Gun grab will be treated as blasphemy. In fact I heard a caller on the local radio today say that the Second Amendment “defense” belittles the shooting Victims and their Families.
This is the spark the left was waiting for, no doubt about it.
>”Obamas tears are a result of his hatred for the Second Amendment”<
In that case, they would tears of joy.
I can’t get this video to run, probably due to huge traffic.
But in the screen shot, it sure looks as if he is wiping with his favorite finger.
Not sure what it means in this case. I don’t know anyone who used their middle finger as much as this SOB.
Yes, one day God will show him all the little ones he helped abort!
Yeah...it's true.
Should read “FAKES crying...” What an America-hating, pro-abortion fool.
Onions in his shirt pocket?
He would never cry for a honkey kid.
What you said! The day that Marxist moron shows a tenth of the empathy and sorrow for the holocost of the unborn (which he has certainly aided) is the day I might start believing what he says.
Not only was he acting his grief, but it’s just like when he travels abroad: he didn’t bother to get the pronunciation of the town right.
This occurred in Newtown, and he pronounced it as ‘Newton’.
In the mode of never letting a tragedy go to waste, we can expect this to resume what Fast and Furious was designed to do.
Actually he is giving America the finger.
