Obama tearful, and I sure would be tearful as well! I think he saw the pictures of the victims.

I would imagine that President Obama viewed the Sandy Hook shootings in a very powerful, visceral way.

I would imagine he viewed color photographs of the carnage, of the kids killed and missing limbs, etc.

I am glad I don't have to see pictures such as that, but probably President Obama felt he had a responsibility to see the pictures. They would be enough to melt any normal heart.

Good for him for taking the steps he took yesterday. Not a solution, but a step in the correct and human direction.

Obama met the parents. I'm sure that was enough for a lifetime of tears right there.

Everyday when those MF ers look out their windows they would see the massacred pictures of these innocent children.

I'd donate some bucks to this effort.
