An emotional Obama: 'They had their entire lives ahead of them'
NBC ^ | 12/14/12 | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 12/14/2012 1:10:50 PM PST by Nachum

An emotional President Barack Obama led the nation in mourning the victims of an elementary school massacre on Friday, speaking from the White House following the shooting in Newtown, Conn.

The president not only pledged to assist investigations into the shooting, but also became openly emotional upon reflecting upon the many school children killed or injured in today's mass shooting.

"The majority of those who died today were children -- beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10-years-old," he said, pausing to wipe away a tear. "They had their entire lives ahead of them -- birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own."

“We’re going to have to come together to take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics” - Obama

What does this mean?

Do you understand that it takes away from the parent’s grief when the president stands in front of the cameras and injects himself and “his feelings” into the situation, coupled with trembling lips and tears?? Honestly I think a lot of people in the liberal media are almost more upset that the poor president is upset than they are about the actual parents of the children. As you can see they are busy putting out stories about the weeping president who cares more about children than anybody else in the whole world.

Ann Compton was just on the radio. Her reverential tone betrays her idolatry of Obama. It was really quit off-putting to hear.

Not at all to minimize this tragedy, but I cannot help reflecting on the truth that those millions upon millions of aborted babies, likewise had their entire lives before them.

If they had been thrown into a closet to die after birth, I guess he’d be okay with it.

This is the guy who partied with “Kill the yankee’s and their kids” just days ago. This guy hangs out with gangsta rappers. This guy talks about pulling out a gun if they bring a knife, he talks about REVENGE, he talks about “getting in their faces”.

He’ll probably be praising DJANGO UNCHAINED soon

Every word that comes out of his mouth is written, thrown together by someone else. He is nothing but a 2 bit actor.

Barry Obama doesn’t give a rats a$$ about those, or any other, kids, soldiers, Mexican civilians, embassy staff, hurricane victims, etc, etc, etc,

He cares about himself. That’s all he is knows how to do.

You turn your back on Him, you’re done.

A nation that elects a member of the Muslim Brotherhood as its leader, twice, is very openly turning it’s back to Him.

There are consequences to doing that.

Last night the 49er v Patriots game was preempted for over 1/2 of the first quarter so that Obozo could lecture the country on how we have to give up our rights to stop psychopaths from killing people. I was incensed, first at having the game preempted for this jerk, and second, because I DON’T NEED TO BE LECTURED BY THAT MORON!

I agree. Several armed and trained school staff could have prevented many, if not most, of those deaths. But, liberals only have sights on disarming Americans, so that the next crazed gunman will have a similar target-rich environment. Give me a CCW, appropriate weapons/self-defense training (I’m out of practice), and a Glock, and that shooter drops to the floor dead.

He used the deaths of those children to advance his agenda. Nothing more.
