I just want to thank God that Barack Obama is our President at this difficult time for our country.

[LaydeeBug]

I am thankful for that *every* day.

edit for a typo and to reiterate that it's the truth.

1. Yes.

[CherokeeDem]

2. Agree....

I have to admit as I watched this story unfold yesterday, I wondered how Romney would have handled this...and I didn't think he'd handle it well or be any comfort to anyone. I agree, we are very fortunate Barack Obama is the President.

[Gothmog]

3. Agreed

I am very grateful that President Obama is our President right now

4. I thought the same thing watching him last night - he's such an authentic person.

[FarPoint]

5. My sentiments as well.

He provides comfort and faith.

6. I'll join you on that, LadeeBug

I'm sure glad it isn't me.

7. Amen

8. Why? Did he say that this is the last straw

and that gun control would become a priority starting today?

[LaydeeBug]

11. Because he is offering pragmatism and leadership in this difficult time, and had we been stuck with

the alternative, the GOP would probably be holding a gun rally next to their bake sale, and you know it.

[Grateful for Hope]

9. Absolutely agree.

[Hepburn]

10. I watched him hold back tears...try to...and then catch a few from his eye with his finger...

...my friend and I both said the same thing: Thank gawd he is the President.
