One thing I keep reminding myself after all that has happened in CT.....

thank god Romney isn't president.

Obama these past days has shown us great leadership. And although if Romney would have won, Obama would still have been the president - it's just good that Romney is out of the picture totally.

I know the Gun Lobbyiests are going to be tough to fight but I fee that Obama will work hard to make the change we need!

I can't imagine him even coming close to handling this like Mr. Obama.

a President Romney wouldn't have become President Romney until next month.

But yeah, I totally get what you're saying.

He'd probably say something about varmints. Or how AR-15s are just the right length.

President Obama is a reasonable and compassionate person. I'm sure he will work to bring about changes!

what Romney would do if he was president. In the past he supported the AWB and other gun laws. Maybe once he was elected he would have done the etch-a-sketch again. That's what really bothered me about Romney he was pathological liar.

the election is over. I have no doubt that Romney would be using this heartbreaking tragedy to somehow benefit his campaign.
