Statement by the President on the Passing of Andy Griffith

Michelle and I were saddened to hear about the passing of Andy Griffith this morning. A performer of extraordinary talent, Andy was beloved by generations of fans and revered by entertainers who followed in his footsteps. He brought us characters from Sheriff Andy Taylor to Ben Matlock, and in the process, warmed the hearts of Americans everywhere. Our thoughts and prayers are with Andy’s family.

6. Oh, for cryin' out loud. Some people just have hatred in their hearts. I had no idea whether

Griffith was a liberal or conservative, even.

What awful, unhappy, unpatriotic people.
