In reply to the discussion: This is Obama's Finest Hour. [View all]calimary
(81,678 posts)60. Welcome to DU, bakpakr! I heard that, too.
It felt like one from the heart. And it said a mouthful! I can hear the yowlers and baggers and whiners and pearl-clutchers yammering about politicizing the night. He did nothing of the sort. I think we should change the gun laws in the memory of those babies who were gunned down, and their teachers and guardians that suffered that fate too. If we can change and toughen the gun laws, then those innocent dead will not have died in vain. It will bring more meaning to their deaths - and what those deaths catalyzed. Maybe others will live because of what we did in response to their murders.

You're trying to form a connection to MIC and American culture when there is none.

American culture does not "look to the military for their model of behavior."

Irony = someone denying military's place in influencing culture talks of "nuance". nt

LOL! If we looked to the military for our model of behavior we'd be a socialist country.

He doesn't enact legislation - why is it someone always finds something negative to say??

The finest hour will be getting laws passed on gun control. I am a big Obama supporter. nt

Someone put up a video of the speech in V&M. Make sure to watch it. He was fantastic.

All he did was make a speech and comfort families. He didn't propose new gun laws.

That's a good way to put it. It was monumental. Could ignite a whole movement!
