      Wow, this article is a real idiot magnet.  Obama is not the Christ figure you perceive him to be.

      I wonder if the Bon Jovi reference was intended because it was a really weird way for her to word how her mother “went down.”

      This brought tears to my eyes. I hope I never hover at the tv watching the news of another mass shooting in tears ever again.

      I was listening to John Lennon’s, “So This Is Christmas”.. and started to think about the Children and Teachers who died in CT.. I just broke down. Although we don’t live in America, it hurt many around the world. These shooting massacre’s have to STOP in the U.S. This photo of President Obama brought us to tears (my family viewed this).. very touching!! Please, don’t give up the fight to get the politicians to take gun control seriously there.. look to other developed countries as examples who rarely experience such things (UK/NZ/AUS etc). Don’t expect your President to do all the work, you need to do your bit! Have his back, HE HAS YOURS!! Call, Email, Tweet, Write-In, Facebook your politicians in your area. DEMAND A CHANGE!!!

        Well said! Here in Australia the people & government said “Enough!” in 1996 after a spate of heinous massacres & brought in strict gun control. Since that time there have been ZERO massacres.
        Make it these children’s & fine teacher’s legacy that the US grows a back-bone and stands up to the NRA and big business and introduces laws that outlaw automatic & semi-automatic weapons.
        And don’t give me any crap about only criminals being armed. How many massacres have been carried out by confirmed criminals? ZERO. They have all been done by “normal” people who have had access to legally acquired guns.
        It’s your call America. Stand up for what is morally right.

      It takes a lot of courage to charge headlong into gunfire. Your mother will not be forgotten.
