AURORA, Colo. – President Barack Obama dashed to Colorado on Sunday to meet with families of those gunned down in a movie theater and to hear from state and local officials about the shooting that left 12 people dead and dozens more injured.
Air Force One touched down at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora late Sunday afternoon for the president's hastily arranged 2 1/2-hour visit, which includes a private meeting with the victims' loved ones and perhaps a public comment about the shooting early Friday morning at a busy multiplex.

toss AP a treat.
I'd be interested in hearing why you think this. As far as I can see, he's been nothing BUT a political opportunist since taking office.
What compels you to believe he's changed?
His JOB????????? What planet are you from? His JOB????????????????
Never let a good crisis go to waste. I almost choked when a Fox talking head said Zero was “suspending his campaign” to go to Colorado.
Reggie was out of town.
2. A chance to make it about Him
3. An opportunity to press his anti 2nd Amendment agenda
4. There may be an opportunity to do some fund raising in connection with this
The victims are way down the list, if they're even on it. After all to him they were just a bunch of whities and he sure doesn't care about them. If you don't believe it, ask eric holder.
Well gee whiz, he left his supporters here in FL to fly back to WDC to hold a meeting about the shooting. Given that there is zero Fed jurisdiction in this matter, it must have gone along the lines of “is the FBI giving CO everything they need? ok then” It could have been handled in a three minute text exchange. But noooo, the Won orders things to be done in such a way that Lord only knows how much jet fuel and tax dollars are burned. Now is is going to burn even more money to do what? Say “what a shame”?
Hey, we’re in an election cycle and we’re only about 3 months + until election day. Gotta use any advantage that comes their way. Sincerity not required.
Not to mention an address to the nation on the subject. Enough already Hussein!
Compare that manner of response to this Klown's.
Zip Pinhead’s Flying Circus bump.
The only reason he’s there is for votes. He could care less...what an A$$.

5. Charge one more campaign trip to the taxpayer
‘JOB’ may be too strong, but in that the Office represents America as a whole, I can glean your point...
However, the timing is suspicious — only two days in the aftermath, and what about the disruptions to public services to accommodate such a rushed visit?
If it weren’t an election year along with (a) Fast & Furious, and (b) his “you didn’t build that” faux pas, odds are you wouldn’t see him there at this time.
I just want to know One Thing.
Did he print up t shirts this time too?
He campaigns all the time and if he is behind , he will call off the election.
And you could tell he was sincere, where this one is all a put on...God I hate this clown!!!
In the words of Rahm Emanuel: “You never want to let a serious crisis go to waste.”
How about Nashville flood?
Texas wildfires?
Arizona wildfires?
Colorado wildfires?
Alabama tornados? (A week later after someone obviously told him to go there.)
