At 4:46 p.m. Obama addressed the shocked nation from the State Dining Room, saying he had already dispatched Mueller to Tucson to coordinate the investigation and that he had discussed the situation in calls to Democratic and Republican congressional leaders.We are all to blame for this, we all watch the news we want, we don't say a word if it's hatful or not, so why should the goverment react any differnt. we allow the news media to be hateful, because thats want we want to hear. And it's both republicans and democates.

WIll he retract his comments on "hand-to-hand" combat, "get in their face" and bringing a gun to a knife fight" or will he use this tragedy as a political lever? We shall see tomorrow if Obama is growing into the role or, if he continues to show the immaturity and lack of experience that has plagued his stay in office to date.

When is enough ,enough.Now Arizonais trying to pass a law making it illegal for the protesters. Does it take a tragedy like this to make people finally act.

This truly does represent the best of America and what we really stand for. Americans are just like family...we can fight each other, but we'll damned sure not let anyone else take a swing at us and get away with it.

Maybe he will ask them to view the mockumentary about assasinating Bush. No wait, maybe watch Olbermann, Mathews and Maddows spew hatred 6 hours/day on TV.... Oh, I know it was Palin's map, not the 03 target map used by Dems. Maybe the left rallies calling for violence during theBush admin.. no wait, the vitriol is from the right. The nuts on the left ARE the problem, trouble is the public schools are producing millioins more and letting million of others pour in over the southern border. This Country will be thrown into riots, compliments of the left and a smaller right protecting itself.

Are you speaking humorously in such a time?
Horrified by this crime and equally horrified by the political fallout. If our President goes to the memorial as the leader of this country and not use it as a political tool, he will put this country on the path to healing. If not, this demonization of all things conservative, will divide our country more than it is today.

He, to my knowledge, has not done that yet, at least to the public. We are still a Christian Nation, no matter what some say. Have always been and will, by the Grace of God remain a Christian Nation.

If during his remarks he mentions gun control, health care, limits on conservative freedom of speech or even alludes to any politcal issue would be an outrage. I hope he remains respectful of the reason he's there in the first place.
