“Since I’ve been President, this is the fourth time we have come together to comfort a grieving community torn apart by a mass shooting. The fourth time we’ve hugged survivors. The fourth time we’ve consoled the families of victims. And in between, there have been an endless series of deadly shootings across the country, almost daily reports of victims, many of them children, in small towns and big cities all across America—victims whose—much of the time, their only fault was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“We can’t tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law—no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world, or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society.
“But that can’t be an excuse for inaction. Surely, we can do better than this. If there is even one step we can take to save another child, or another parent, or another town, from the grief that has visited Tucson, and Aurora, and Oak Creek, and Newtown, and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that—then surely we have an obligation to try.”
— President Obama at yesterday’s vigil in Newtown, Connecticut
President Obama called the members of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team today to congratulate them on their wins last night. Judging from their Twitter feeds, they were pretty psyched.
You can already see how FOX News is going to spin this - “Is it appropriate for our President to be calling teenage girls on the phone?”
Right now, the biggest oil companies are raking in record profits—profits that go up every time folks pull up into a gas station. But on top of these record profits, oil companies are also getting billions a year—billions a year in taxpayer subsidies—a subsidy that they’ve enjoyed year after year for the last century.
Think about that. It’s like hitting the American people twice. You’re already paying a premium at the pump right now. And on top of that, Congress, up until this point, has thought it was a good idea to send billions of dollars more in tax dollars to the oil industry.
Aaaand there’s video.
He’s amazing. Can you imagine how cringeworthy this scene would have been with most politicians? Obama comes across as a normal human being…it’s rather sad that that’s impressive…

Meanwhile, in Britain, we’re busy making it less affordable…
Yesterday, Fox News ran another phony “war on Christmas” story in order to again cast doubt on President Obama’s religion.
A reminder that: Fox is not news, it’s a political operation masquerading as a news network.
