"Newtown -- you are not alone."
The shock and grief is ongoing this week following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut last Friday. President Obama went to Newtown on Monday and delivered heartfelt remarks at an interfaith prayer vigil for the victims. As inexplicable as the tragedy was, the President tried to convey the thoughts of a nation, including, "We can’t tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law -- no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world, or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society. But that can’t be an excuse for inaction. Surely, we can do better than this." –EG
