parent recognized and hugged VPOTUS, and POTUS touched his back, so as to hug him and/or shake his hand.

Many lovely gestures.

Imagine taking such a tragedy and doing this with it. My gawd.

Same goes for all these Newtown families.

They are truly gifts.

I am so happy to see Obama angry. I have been waiting for this! On many issues.

I've been really waiting for him to get angry.

Talking heads saying the same.

"Righteous indignation."

I need to get my US Rep outta there and get a Dem in. Fortunately both my Sens are good Dems (WA state).

Clearly calling on the voters to vote them out. But what? A new bill? Who's going to do that?

it's left up to us to vote these people out! He asked, who are these senators representing if they aren't representing the American people? I have NEVER seen him sooo upset.

(Obama) who spoke out on Oct. 2, 2002, in opposition to the Iraq war.

While he later become somewhat equivocal, he was largely consistent (and more so than most other politicians) in his stated opposition to the Iraq war.
