And this is why he is OUR wonderful, comforting, compassionate president as he embraces the siblings who lost a sibling on Friday and comforts a father who lost his daughter.

1. He's real. That's why he can do this.

And yet another reason why it's a very good thing he won the election. Can you imagine Romney trying to comfort the families of murdered children? I sure can't.

2. No, I can't even imagine, and I will be eternally grateful

that I don't have to.

12. Can you imagine Romney trying to deliver that speech?

I can't even express how happy I am that we won that election. Look, just look, at what was on the line.
