The Presidents Devotional: What Obama Did In Secret In Newtown (EXCERPT)

The families came in and gathered together, room by room. Many struggled to offer a weak smile when we whispered, “The president will be here soon.” A few were visibly angry—so understandable that it barely needs to be said—and were looking for someone, anyone, to blame. Mostly they sat in silence.

I went downstairs to greet President Obama when he arrived, and I provided an overview of the situation. “Two families per classroom . . . The first is . . . and their child was . . . The second is . . . and their child was . . . We’ll tell you the rest as you go.”

The president took a deep breath and steeled himself, and went into the first classroom. And what happened next I’ll never forget.

I'll never understand how we went from such a strong and good leader to what we are enduring now.

Send this story to Sarah Huckabee. Her head might explode. CC Sarah Palin while you're at it.
