She touched a deep well of grief that anyone could treat the nine beautiful human beings created by the God who declared his creation "Very good" could just mow them down so viciously. I cried at the time and when I watched Obama sing, but there seems to be a bottomless well of tears.

Thanks for sharing that!

President Obama tried but we all knew what was in his heart when he sang that song. It seems like the current resident in the white house is trying to erase what a good President he was. Karma comes around, I have to believe in that.

I am embarrassed to admit that for a split second I forgot that on these pages, the term President is certainly not being used with the current occupant of the White House.
