MSNBC Poll: Do you think President Obama struck the appropriate

Do you think President Barack Obama struck the appropriate tone in his remarks to a memorial service for victims of the Tucson shootings?


89.6%
Yes. The nation needs healing and unity at this point, and the president took precisely the right path.
3,657 votes

8.3%
No. He used this moment for his own political advantage, not the nation's greater good.

I don't know. I'd like to think about how his words fit in with my complex feelings about this tragedy.

5. Wow!

6. I loved the cheering and the standing ovation for him. I savored the feel good moment.
It could only ever be a fleeting moment, because the stakes are too high.

14. Barack did what he had to do
but also, I believe what was in his heart. He humanized the victims.
