Live Thread: President Obama to Speak at Connecticut Shooting Vigil (7 p.m. EST 12/16/12)
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.

C-span babe just said AGAIN that Zero wrote his own comments himself for this evening.

Why is she so stuck on this? Could it be because its a bunch of BS?

This guy can’t say good morning without a speech writer.

All of the commentators almost all of the time seem to bend over backwards for this poser.

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

I think it has. Today we have more guns sales than ever, because people feel they need to protect themselves. People are FINALLY talking about the pro-death culture. Life is no longer valued because of it.
People are waking up to the liberal agenda, and they don't like it. They don't like what's happening to their country.

Pantomiming tears in his dry eyes Obama seized upon this crime to advance an agenda.

The whole thing has been arranged by the Father of Lies as a little test to see if a son of the Father of Lies is a worthy apprentice.

Reporter on Twitter says long lines at security check in delayed start of service. Also, auditorium only holds 900.

1300 at gym for overflow.

Reporter says hundreds are leaving the line after some having walked for miles and in cold rain and then waiting outside in line.

When NPR news comes on my classic station, I immediately get nauseated from the extreme bias in favor of Obama and rush to turn off the radio. The reporterettes are the worse. When the say ‘President Obama’ — and they say over and over when it isn’t necessary — they said it a manner that is so chirpy and worshipful. They have a certain rhythm that is an attempt at turning his name into poetry. They say it like they’re talking about a slice of pecan pie with ice cream on it. Little do they understand that he is a piece of sh** on a shingle — and they just ate the whole shingle full. I remember they rarely said ‘President Bush’ — it was either ‘Bush’ or ‘the President.’

He’s waiting for the Pittsburgh/Dallas game to wrap up...if it goes to overtime; these people could have a long wait.

Maybe he will suggest putting prayer back in the schools? (sarc)

Also, as of 7 p.m. Obama was still meeting with families. Advised at that time service would start around 7:30.

It will turn into another Democrat/leftwing political rally, just like the Tucson memorial and just like the Wellstone funeral.

Only the militant left and the rouge nations are talking about gun control. Most people I've heard interviewed are more concerned about the failing culture and the wrong direction it's going.
More people are arming themselves rather than disarming, because they know it's not the guns behind it all.

Little lives could have been saved at that school had the office been armed and trained. The killer (who would have used a knife if not a gun) would have never made it down the hallway.

From Todd Starnes:

"There will be a reading from the Koran at tonight's service."

They could have had a memorial but that has been denied by the presence of Obama. A presence that uses the peoples’ grief and anguish as a prop to promote an agenda.
