...never let a good crisis go to waste.

It may be a crass way to put it, but the only solace anyone might be able to take out of this tragedy is that maybe something good can come out of it. And that's my point... Obama should not let this go to waste. Nothing will bring back these kids, all we can hope for is that somehow the country is made better for it. You know, the opposite of what Bush did to the country out of that other disaster.
