From The Washington Post -- January 18, 2011:
By Dan Balz and Jon Cohen
Speaking at the memorial service for those killed in the Tucson shooting, President Obama said, "Those who died here, those who saved lives here - they help me believe."
Evaluations of President Obama's handling of the Jan. 8 tragedy are highly positive across the political spectrum, with nearly eight in 10 giving him high marks for his response to the incident. A robust 71 percent of Republicans say they approve of his leadership following the shootings.
The strong reviews of the president's response to the Arizona incident - which included giving a prime-time eulogy at a memorial service for the victims - have helped boost Obama's overall approval rating to its highest point since last April. Fully 54 percent of all Americans now approve of the way he is handling his job as president, while 43 percent disapprove.

"The question is, and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer -- is that human life a person under the constitution?" he said. "And Barack Obama says no. Well if that human life is not a person then I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say 'now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"
President Obama would sail to re-election in 2012 if there weren't so many racists and bigots out there in the USA.
Strange that the victims of assassinations were Liberal, except perhaps MLK ....
Makes one think.....

Dingell: Current Political Climate Is Similar To When JFK Was Assassinated
Excerpt:
"Dingell has been outspoken in his condemnation of right-wing rhetoric in the days following the shooting in Tucson that targeted Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). In a Jan. 12 speech on the House floor, he said, "Over the years, I have witnessed horrendous events -- the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy. I have seen firsthand the anger brought on by landmark, life changing legislation. The rage during the civil rights debates was unlike anything I had seen, until now. ... What is different today is not the anger and apprehension felt by some in this country, but the inciting speech, dare I say encouragement, given by well-established folks in the seemingly mainstream political parties."

"Those incapable of connecting the dots, from violent political rhetoric and climate, to actual violence are either in denial or in need of improving their critical thinking skills."
Don't know where to put the link shown below. Thought this one thread is as good as any other.

He very well may,if the economy
recovers and people return to work.
Most people vote their pocket book.
I vote for the fifty million babies
that have been disqualified from
life since 1973. A very Great "Man"
once said "it would be better if a
mill stone was tied around your neck
and you cast into the depths of the
sea than to offend(hurt)one of these little ones." I can never vote for anyone that has ever voted for abortions. There are other reason but none greater!
Bootstrap.
"I wounldn't want to "punish" my daughter with a baby"---Obama
I think that says it all, don't you?
BTW---I work with many African American people and they are very unhappy with Obama...does that make THEM racists???
