Obama was doing a good job until he went politcal. It just wasn´t appropriate. He was there to console not to score political points.

Why does 0bama NEVER mention the carnage caused by a Muslim at Ft Hood? I guess that was not a tragedy. Oh well, I´m sure it´s just an oversight....

Obama calls the murder of 20 children a tragedy but blesses the killings of millions as a ´woman´s right to choose´.

He is a wicked man and intends to make this a wedge issue. The Democrats 2014 campaign to retake the House kicked off tonight in Newtown, CT.

Sorry to contradict you #1, but yes he was.

Worst speech ever. R´s instead of our´s.

As a parent/grandparent/greatgrandparent, I think we should start with the rap music/movies/video games, etc. that foster violence first!

We need to be able to defend ourselves.

I personally do not own a gun or want one, but I respect those who do and want to be able to protect themselves and their loved ones.

The disparity today that exists, that Obama has prospered through class and race warfare, helping/controlling some, and not caring about others.

We need God back in our schools and the 10 Commandments posted - Thou shalt not kill - would be good to see posted and to know that there is a God who created US and loves US, not for US to be told that we can take care of ourselves.

We have always placed our Faith/trust in God. Even our money confirms our inner knowledge.

Obama has caused more confusion/distrust in this country through his many ways of turning one against another.

Obama is more interested in his own personal well being - vacations/parties/golf courses, etc.

We need to "come together" for the betterment of everyone, knowing we are God´s creatures and He loves US.

Can we forget political correctness and just be civil and caring about our fellowman?

Pray together or the government will control every aspect of our lives. God is still our Savior!

We have become a third-world country overnight!

Answering President Obama - Are we really prepared to say that we´re powerless in the face of such carnage? We have been ever since he became president.

We need to live our Faith and not our Fear!God alone can/will free US from Obama´s self-rule!

Satan speaks.
Console?
He seeks to exploit this unspeakable Evil to confiscate guns to enable the islamofascist takeover of America.
The Kakistocracy I´d on full display.

This evil man is suggesting that politics caused these horrific murders.

What a despicable low vile comment.

Whatever you say, Obama. I will not give up my guns.

He just can´t let go of class warfare! For him, what better way to cause rifts in the population but to call for a ban on guns and he does it through "suggestion". Why couldn´t he leave those people alone? They are suffering and all he does is put on a show. Why should we think he´s being honest and truly sorry! Don´t agree with #4. He is an evil man.

Have any of you listened to the vile stuff masquerading as rap music? Death, violence, name calling- words polite company.never uses.
The videos and games are bad... But 24/7 ear buds are in blocking any other messages. This goes beyond race and culture. It is the evidence of society´s demise.

Even as he lectures our nation, Barack Obama is still hiding behind Executive Privilege regarding his role in "Fast & Furious."

Why did Obama and Eric Holder put thousands of firearms into the hands of Mexico´s most violent drug cartels?

Because Obama and Holder wanted to attack our Second Amendment rights.

What did Obama and Holder achieve by arming these Mexican drug gangs?

They got over three hundred Mexican citizens murdered, as well as getting two American law enforcement officers killed as well....

Don´t lecture me on gun control, Barky, you damned fraud. You have the blood of HUNDREDS on your hands.

Nothing is sacred to this man except his own political agenda.

I refused to watch. Did he rapidly blink his eyes to act as if he were misting up? Did he continually wipe the corner of his eyes to remove tears that weren´t there at all?
Word has it that he received a telegram from Tom Green for knocking him off the top of the list for "Worst Actor Ever".
What a sorry putz.

You got it, Mr. President: we are indeed prepared to admit that we are powerless in the face of such carnage. And we think that symbolic, feel-good steps such as banning assault rifles are shallow, ineffective and a threat to our freedoms, since we do not for a moment believe that the banning of weapons will stop with assault rifles. We think the proposed remedy -more gun control- is far more dangerous in a different way to far more people than the disease, the use of firearms by criminals and lunatics to kill people. And we think that such emotion-driven legislation provides a false sense of security. Many of us who think this way neither own nor desire to own an "assault rifle." Many of us do not own a firearm at all. We just hate to see foolish reflex responses of emotion transformed into legislation that encroaches on our freedoms. We are prepared to accept a certain level of crime and lunatic mass killings as the price of liberty.

We are also realists. We know this game is lost. An electorate capable of putting a Barack Obama in the White House not once but twice will undoubtedly be led by its emotions and shallow thinking` to ban assault weapons. That will make them feel better - for a while, until something else happens that makes them want to ban other firearms too. They will most likely do that and keep doing it until at last they have voluntarily disarmed themselves entirely in the hope of staying safe and secure.

"WE" will have to change....? Who is this "we"? Is it all of us stupid "gun clingers"?

This statement provides another insight into the the thinking of 0bama. We´re a monolith of stupid, ignorant, uncivilized, and primitive citizens in need of a caring leader like him.

We are not powerless. There is so much to be done. But they only have one answer.

I am so UNconfident in the republicans these day - plus the news that a conservative supreme court justice wants to step down this year -- we certainly could lose more liberty, more rapidly, than even in the last 4 years.

Foul and vile. He should never have even gone to that town, bringing the chaos of a presidential visit to the already overwhelmed populace. And then to use a vigil of remembrance for politics -- as if anyone thought he wouldn´t do that, but still -- he is the lowest of the low. Despicable is not a strong enough word.

What a pig.

Bravo #6, very well said.

Now go away and leave them alone. They are not alone, you know.

We are not powerless to face this problem. We are afraid of the political correct crowd. The easy way is to blame the gun. The hard way is to confront mental illness and keep guns out of THEIR hands. If it means locking them up for the safety of all, then we must do it. Obama will try to come up with some liberal claptrap to solve the problem. He is afraid to face the real problem.

we need to really look at committing people who are obviously bonkers and exhibiting violent tendencies. But lefties would never want to do that. They just want to disarm people who never harm anyone.

I have such disdain for this man, there is nothing he could say or do with the exception of I resign, that would impress me.

Everybody needs to pack up and leave Newtown and let these people grieve. To interview the families and small children for tiny details is too much.

When the next tragedy strikes, they will be in the rear view mirror.

Who´s this "We" kemosabe? Train and arm the teachers, just like the Israeli´s... and institutionalize the mentally challenged. problem solved.

Completely inappropriate comments. If I was a family member, I would have walked out. Actually, I wouldn´t have been there in the first place.

Once again, he is playing god. (I reserve the capital G for our real Lord and Savior) He is such a disgrace to our nation.

What you mean "we", Kemo Sabe?

OK, zippy. You first. Give up your armed SS detachment and your abortion mills and then we´ll talk.

Sorry #24, you beat me to it!

I didn´t watch, for I cannot stand pablum, bromides, and banalities...

...esp when mixed with a toxic Leftist agenda.

lol...no worries, sarcastic minds think alike

oops sorry, meant that for #28 and hit the button too soon...
"lol...no worries, sarcastic minds think alike"

#22, we lack the space to lock up people who are obviously bonkers - since every libtard in existence fits that profile and is given to violent tendencies. We need a more permanent solution.

Never waste a crisis ...

Coming from the Chicago murder capital organizer..? The lawless criminal in chief.. This theater of the absurd is pure alinsky profiting from tragedy.

Once a community organizer, always a community organizer. Agitator-in-Chief.

Meanwhile we kill 4000 infants in the womb a day.

Are we powerless in the face of such carnage.

As usual the Blamer-In-Chief has to give gravitas to his photo op jaunt to Newtown. He made some crack about our no longer tolerating this sort of thing, as though we had been tolerating it all along and needed him to set us on the right path.

American parents have kept their children safe for a long, long time. Most of us don´t believe in destroying them in the womb, either. We know what he thinks about that. And about the ones who inconveniently survive late term abortions.

So shut up. Your speech was not comforting. It was insulting. And hypocritical coming from one such as you.

Underneath the crocodile tears, there was an animation seldom seen in Zippy as he peddles this latest opportunity...
