President Obama's statement:
"This morning, in an unspeakable tragedy, a number of Americans were shot in Tucson, Arizona, at a constituent meeting with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. And while we are continuing to receive information, we know that some have passed away, and that Representative Giffords is gravely wounded.

"We do not yet have all the answers. What we do know is that such a senseless and terrible act of violence has no place in a free society. I ask all Americans to join me and Michelle in keeping Representative Giffords, the victims of this tragedy, and their families in our prayers".

3. Really? Before the investigation? Before every detail is known? When she's still fight for her life?

7. You mean apart from sending the director of the FBI down there?
On top of the multitude of FBI agents that are surely already en route?

Should he don his cape and fly down there? And do what?

2. And then he added, "Sarah Palin should be ashamed of herself and
held to account for her role in intentionally riling up the crazy people in her party to incite violence."

Okay, he didn't say it but I wish he would have because we all know it's true.
