President Barack Obama will travel to Newtown, Conn., on Sunday to meet with families of those killed in the shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School and thank emergency workers who responded to the tragedy, the White House said Saturday.

"The President will also speak at an interfaith vigil for families of the victims as well as families" at 7 p.m., press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.

On Friday, an emotional Obama vowed to "take meaningful action, regardless of the politics," to prevent future tragedies like the shooting massacre, which killed 26 people at the school, 20 of them children.

Um, I’m not sure *screaming* and crying would go over very well in such a somber setting.

What about that fiscal cliff thingie? No time for that, but he does have time to jet around at taxpayer expense for a photo op with grieving families?

This president is a pig.

If we found out tomorrow that the dead punk was a left wing liberal who killed his mom because she was a right wing conservative, would this story instantly disappear?

An eery post on an Internet message board made Wednesday night by a user allegedly in Connecticut who threatened to kill himself on Friday morning and ‘make the news,’ is raising some questions as to whether it was Newtown Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza.

According to Infowars.com, the post appeared on the 4Chan web site at 10:18pm Wednesday and was made by a user with the user name ‘iKTatjYX.’

The post stated, ‘I’m going to kill myself on Friday and it will make the news, be watching at 9am.’

Obama will issue an executive order suspending the Second Amendment.

Well, his dad and brother Ryan surely have some inkling of his political leanings.

We get to know every little detail of mom’s life.

Share a bit of Adam’s.

[and why ~4Chan~? They’re in bed with b/Chan and are hackers and other disreputables who savaged Palin, launch DDoS attacks, etc...do we already have our clue?]

No, Obama cannot "let a crisis go to waste". Therefore, in his communist move to ban guns from law abiding American citizens, he will bath himself in the blood of the slain innocents and wear it as a mantle of so-called righteousness, cry crocodile tears over the dead and use his lying "comfort" of the grieving families as a juicy photo op to further sway the gullible masses in his quest to make us un protected, defenseless and vulnerable to attack from within and from without.

Numerous, seemingly innocuous Obama government agencies who have absolutely no reason to need or use fire arms didn't purchase millions upon millions of hollow point bullets on the sly over the last year for "target practice". These lethal munitions were purchased for the specific purpose of subduing the American populace. Why do you think the communist Chinese are now clamoring for wide spread, far reaching "gun control" measures to be enacted by Obama and the Democrats?

On Friday American abortionists MURDERED upwards of 3,300 babies... you don't hear Obama, the Democrats, the communist Chinese or any other "public servants" screaming for an end to abortion! Tagline

Your niece is very perceptive and wise. The answer to her question is found in my post #51. The beast is nefarious.

The tradegy this week is beyond words. Being a father I cannot fathom the grief and sorrow those families are experiencing. Our prayers and thoughts will continue to be with all.

My question is why is the President going? He can only be seeking political gain (aka Sandy storm). The Dems have already started blame the GOP, then the Tea Party and finally the Second Amendment. The Dems and Obama will attempt to use this tradegy for an all out assault on the Second Amendment.

They should be looking at the moral decay, the trash that is promoted in the entertainment industry and the loss of integrity in journalism as root causes.

Yes, yes he will. In the end it will turn into a “all about Obama” event with some pictures of him greeting families and a campaign speech. He will then go back to DC and maybe play a round of Golf before the big HI vacation.

As a CT Freeper, these last few days have been difficult knowing that folks living in my home state have been suffering.

I get really very unconfortable seeing any politico using this horrible and tragic incident for political reasons.

....And yet in that very same China, was there not a major stabbing incident involving the stabbing of children by someone with a knife? No call for the banning of knives.
