C-SPAN ^ | Sunday, December 16, 2012

Posted on 12/16/2012 4:09:56 PM PST by kristinn

President Obama tonight will speak at an interfaith vigil as part of his visit to Newtown, CT for families of the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary School. President Obama traveled to Newtown, CT earlier today to meet with the families of those who were lost and to thank first responders.

On Friday, the President made a statement to the press on the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn. A total of 20 children are among the 26 dead. The gunman also died at the scene.

The President said that it is time for the country to “take meaningful action” after today’s tragedy.

As if the media and the left hadn’t politicized this nightmare enough. I turned off my TV this morning after 10 minutes.

I hope those parents told the Pretender Prez that EVERY TEACHER should be required to have a CCW and CARRY it in the classroom...

Because one tragedy in Newtown wasn’t enough I guess.

I agree. Do something. Lest get the guns from street gangs. How many deaths in Chicago this year? Let’s start there.

Stand in amazement as Pubbies miss an opportunity to call Obie on his hypocrisy (regarding his failure to protect the unborn and those babies who survive an abortion attempt) and appropriately shift the discussion to our broken system for the mentally ill.

Yes, they’re all sitting ducks unless they can have protection. I hope this horrible incident gets people thinking.

I have not watched any news since the morning before the shooting. I did not watch any pre-game shows today and only turned the games on after they had already started. I refuse to be a part of this propaganda drive against American freedoms. I don’t intend to watch any news until long after the clowns in the “media” realize that they’ve squeezed all of the political value out of this tragedy that they are going to get.

I’m busy with important things: eating just-out-of-the-oven frosted sugar cookies and freeping.
The Dims’ `lord&savior’ is a waste of time, pure theater.

It will turn into another Democrat/leftwing political rally, just like the Tucson memorial and just like the Wellstone funeral. I give up on TV news. It has become fully politicized, feminized, and emotionalized. It’s worse than worthless; it is destructive.

The C-span babe actually just said that Zero “actually wrote his own speech for this event.”

WOW!!!!!!! I didn’t know he had it in him. I still don’t.

A broken clock.....

He's right. If a killer wants to kill, he'll find some way to do it. If not a gun - a bomb. If not a bomb - gas.
The answer is to allow law abiding American citizens to carry. That way, when a killer decides he wants to kill, there will always be someone around to stop him.

I wonder if the delegations from Iran and Red China have arrived yet.
