The President, Yesterday

The video:


You can read the text of President Obama's speech here.

This part is getting a lot of attention:


And when he said this:

...and from first-graders in Newtown. First-graders. And from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun.

Every time I think about those kids it gets me mad. And by the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day. (Applause.)

So all of us need to demand a Congress brave enough to stand up to the gun lobby’s lies.

He was crying.

So of course, this is what our friends in teh crazie crowd did - they mocked him, a father, for crying while talking about the slaughter of first graders at the hands of a nut with a gun.

If that's what you do, if that's who you mock and why, then you're just an awful person.

We need a Congress brave enough to stand up to the NRA.
