These people are living in a world of delusion. They think Obama is Lincoln. Or they want to think Obama is Lincoln. Obama is just barely an American, and a far leftist one at that.

Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?

Price of freedom? Hardly. More the price of stupidity and the failure of courage. Being free means being able to defend your life and the lives of those you hold dear. Take that away, and you are not free. Therefore, gun-free zones are anti-freedom zones, places where we are forced to rely on a distant and apathetic politburo to ensure our safety, and that is just plain stupid.

It was Super `Heidi-bowl’ II deja vu all over again. Obama can’t do anything right.
He couldn’t let these poor people grieve their losses without injecting himself in in order to make a political statement. `Gettysburg Address’: Mainstream media ghouls.

Krauthammer seemed deeply concerned. He called it a political speech, felt Obama is preparing to make big moves very quickly. Obama knows that this is his moment to close the deal. He has had help, a hurricane named Sandy and a school named Sandyhook are evil driven, designed just for the benefit of Barack Obama.

Wow, I took alot of crap for falling asleep, even during the Patriots second quarter.

I had totally forgotten that I fell asleep during Zer0’s bogus Newtown speech.

I really wish that I could believe that Zer0 actually gave a shit about the children.

Blah, blah, blah.

Remember how we were all going to sing Kumbayah and repsect each other’s opinions after the gabby giffords speech? Tell that to the left wing thugs who apparently didn’t hear him.

owebama talks the talk but he NEVER walks the walk or tells the truth about his hidden agenda. He will do the opposite of what he said tonight.

Oh? I would like to see that. I already supposed the same thing from 0bama’s comments made last Friday. Krauthammer isn’t always right but he’s right quite a bit.

There were so many levels to President Obama's speech: philosophical, sorrowful determined universal, simple, beautiful...

1. His nose did go into the air while he looked down.
2. I turned it off when he started sounding smug and talking down to America.
