President Obama is a gem. Talking tonight about Boston.

[babylonsister]

Yea, I'm a sucker, but I love my President.

Edit to add: he also brought up Texas and the losses there.

And then he brings up the 'character of our country.'

Thank you, President Obama.

And a good reminder about jumping to conclusions before the facts are in

[gademocrat7]

[abbeyco]

as he said, it's been a tough week and it's definitely worn on him.

Thanks, President Obama - I'm happy and so thankful for you and your incredible humanistic leadership.

14. "All in all it's been a tough week." President Obama April 19, 2013 10:15 PM EDT

He knows just what to say. It is amazing.

He carries so much weight on his shoulders, I am surprised he can stand.

For Boston and Texas

Thank you Mr. President.

23. He's not perfect. But dammit, I love my President. I'm so relieved, every moment of the day,

that it's HE who's in charge and not the romneys.

[freshwest]

18. Proud of my President.

[Cha]

19. I just saw.. it was very calming and healing.

He mentioned everyone from Boston to Texas, including Sean Collier.

[mzmolly]

20. So nice having a grownup for a President.

[jenmito]

21. Ditto. K&R. n/t

[ProudProgressiveNow]

22. K&R nt

[Kath1]

24. Agreed, babylonsis!

His comments couldn't have been any more heart-felt and healing.

Yes, I'm a sucker, too, but I am soooooo glad this man is President!

[ecstatic]

25. k&r.

[NBachers]

26. Even better than Morgan Freeman!

[SunSeeker]

27. K&R

[ecstatic]

28. oh, and we're not suckers for correctly noting

Pres. Obama's calm, steady leadership in times of crisis. He's doing a great job! We shouldn't have to post disclaimers to say so!

[humbled_opinion]

29. Apparently the teaheads don't

share your enthusiasm. Already they are trying to blame Obama saying his SOTU had a mission accomplished statement about a degraded Al-Qaida only to have these new Jihadists emerge here and attack us on our streets.... Then they claim it took skilled law enforcement officers 60 rounds to get the job done with the first terrorist and yet Obama wants to limit civilians to 6 round clips....

These ones I work with are usually spouting talking points so I assume that is going to be the rightwing line of attacks against the President. Where is the unity? All of this disgusts me...

[admonish]

30. yep...teabaggers never will either

The man is genuine, and the criticism is ridiculous and excessive...even by the left...no, he's not Jesus, but to say he's not capable or not reasonable is ridiculous

[humbled_opinion]

31. Exactly a measured response

The cowboys on the right want blood for blood... The idiots said to me, "Isn't it obvious to you that Obama showed more anger and passion at not getting his way in the gun debate, then he ever showed towards those that would come here to murder our babies"?

Do you see the minds I work with, but I must shut up and know my place because if I defend the President too loudly then of course I am marked as a liberal and talk is that those that support the policies of sequestration and raising taxes keywords at my job for Obama supporters, should be the first to be laid off in the event those things impact our contract....

[admonish]

32. eye for an eye...says so in the book

Typical RW/Christian Right goobleygook that is usually spewed by some chicken shit...the rest of the world laughs at American political theatre, but the eye for an eye game is the same one the rest of the world plays too....

Edit....that's what the bombing in boston is about

[treestar]

33. Oh you cool aid drinking worshipper!

He is particularly talented at this aspect of the Presidency. In those countries where they have the distinction between prime minister and President who is more like a head of state, he is aces at the latter job.

[lunatica]

34. I love both him and Michelle and feel they're working hard for this country

I'm very proud of our First Family.
