He Says He Wants Us to Change

I have no doubt that the people who assembled at Newtown High School found comfort in President Obama’s words on Sunday night.

But make no mistake (as Obama is so fond of saying). The President didn’t only come to Newtown to pay his respects to those who were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary last Friday morning. He also came to lecture the nation and to save us from ourselves:

    This is our first task — caring for our children. It’s our first job. If we don’t get that right, we don’t get anything right. That’s how, as a society, we will be judged.

    And by that measure, can we truly say, as a nation, that we are meeting our obligations? Can we honestly say that we’re doing enough to keep our children — all of them — safe from harm? Can we claim, as a nation, that we’re all together there, letting them know that they are loved, and teaching them to love in return? Can we say that we’re truly doing enough to give all the children of this country the chance they deserve to live out their lives in happiness and with purpose?

    I’ve been reflecting on this the last few days, and if we’re honest with ourselves, the answer is no. We’re not doing enough. And we will have to change. Read more...

  6. If he cared so much about children he would not promote over 3000 abortions each day in the usa or kill untold children in the middle east with drone at tracks. He only cares about dismantling our Constitution so he can implement his Kenyan dictatorship over the stupid EBT slaves. Never waste a good crisis.

    Enjoy your Hope & Change part 2 you worthless drug induced TV watching zombies.
