Obama says there are 'other days for politics' in mourning Colorado victims

President Obama's speech about the shooting at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater  at a campaign rally was "awkward," says NBC political director Chuck Todd. Both leading presidential contenders are suspending advertising in the state.

 

Updated 12:53 p.m. - The shooting of moviegoers in Colorado “reminds us all of the ways that we are united as one American family,” President Barack Obama said Friday in remarks mourning the victims of the overnight massacre.

Speaking in Florida, where he cut short a campaign trip, the president led a crowd in a moment of silence and called for Americans to reflect on what he called a senseless act of violence.

“Even as we learn how this happened and who's responsible, we may never understand what leads anybody to terrorize their fellow human beings like this,” Obama said. “If there's anything to take away from this tragedy it's the reminder that life is very fragile. Our time here is limited and precious.”

Mitt Romney, speaking early Friday afternoon in New Hampshire, said: "Our hearts break with the sadness of this unspeakable tragedy. Ann and I join the president and first lady -- and all Americans -- in offering our deepest condolences to those whose lives were shattered in a few moments of evil in Colorado."

The presidential campaign was essentially put on hold after a gunman waged an assault on viewers of a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, east of Denver.

Speaking at a planned campaign rally in Bow, New Hampshire GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney set aside politics and spoke of the mass shooting in Colorardo.

Obama canceled a planned campaign stop for later Friday in Florida to return to the White House; Vice President Joe Biden and first lady Michelle Obama also canceled political events set for Friday afternoon. The Romney campaign canceled a planned series of radio interviews this afternoon.

“I am so moved by your support, but there are going to be other days for politics. This, I think, is a day for prayer and reflection,” the president told supporters.

Additionally, the both the Romney and Obama campaigns put a hold on airing political ads on television on Colorado for at least the weekend.

"I stand before you today not as a man running for office, but as a father and grandfather, a husband and an American," Romney said, also striking an apolitical tone in his statement. "This is a time for each of us to look into our hearts and remember how much we love one another and how much we love and how much we care for our great country."

Details from the shooting were still emerging as of late Friday morning, but White House press secretary Jay Carney said that the president was first notified of the shooting at 5:26 a.m. ET by John Brennan, his homeland security adviser. Obama called the mayor of Aurora later in the morning, and received a follow-up briefing from Brennan, White House chief of staff Jack Lew, and FBI Director Robert Mueller.

"The president orders that his administration do everything that it can to support the people of Aurora in this extraordinarily difficult time,” Carney said in a gaggle aboard Air Force One.

Most political reaction revolved around expressing sympathies for the victims of the shooting.

"I am stunned and furious at the news of the shooting at the Aurora Century 16 Movie theatre this morning,” said Democratic Colorado Rep. Ed Perlmutter, whose district includes the site of the crime. “Colorado is not a violent place, but we have some violent people. We are a strong and resilient community, and we will lean on each other in the days, weeks and months to come.”

Few elected officials touched on the impact of the Colorado shootings on the long-simmering debate about gun control laws.

"I would say as you know the president believes we need to take common sense measures that protect the Second Amendment rights of Americans while ensuring that those who should not have guns under existing laws do not get them," Carney said when asked about the impact of the shooting on the gun debate. "We're making progress in that regard in terms of improving the volume and quality of information on background checks, but I have nothing additional on that for you. This is obviously a recent event."

One of the few exceptions to that came from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a longtime advocate for stricter gun laws.

At a planned campaign event in Fort Myers, Fla. President Barack Obama steers away from politics and leads the nation in a moment of silence for the victims of the mass shooting in Colorado.

"You know, soothing words are nice, but maybe it's time that the two people who want to be president of the United States stand up and tell us what they are going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country," Bloomberg said on WOR Radio in New York. "No matter where you stand on the Second Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear from both of them concretely, not just in generalities -- specifically, what are they going to do about guns?"

It is sad to see that it takes a tragedy like this to make us all pause and reflect on the fact we are all Americans. I am guilty as anyone of losing perspective. Politics and party affiliation took a back seat today as it should be. I'm sure all of the dead and injured had varying political viewpoints.... and I grieve for all of them and their families.

I hope we can all agree to disagree and stop the hate. A day like today reminds me of 9-11. On that day we were all simply Americans.

I commend both Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney for their actions and words.

We are not all Americans. Not this or on any other day. Not until we get this man out of office who has divided us all not seen since the civil war.

Not from a President who milks every tragedy for only his political gain, and even accuses a political rival of a felony sinks the political to level not seen in modern times.

This man does not do the country proud,

He says nothing about the body bags containing young black makes rolling in from his old precinct on Chicago's south side where he was community organizer.

259 killed this year, 18 this month. More are rolling right now.

Yet nothing from this President.

No, not on this day. Or on any other day. Allot more is at stake.

From today's MSNBC article Obama campaign raises $46M in June; Romney takes in $33M:

"The Obama team spent over $58 million in June, though, with one of the largest expenses being television ads bolstering the president and criticizing Romney over his private sector career and scant release of tax records.

Likewise, the largest single expense for the Romney campaign was its advertising efforts. The campaign disclosed having spent $10.4 million dollars on so-called "placed media," FEC-speak for television and radio ad buys."

And from CBS/NY Times today:

Romney and Obama in Statistical Tie in NY Times/CBS Poll

By Don Frederick on July 19, 2012

Voter disapproval of President Barack Obama's handling of the economy is hurting his re-election prospects and improving the outlook for Republican challenger Mitt Romney, a New York Times/CBS News national poll shows.

Romney is backed by 47 percent and Obama by 46 percent in the survey, released yesterday. The numbers include voters who said they leaned toward one of the candidates. Excluding those voters, Romney led Obama, 45 percent to 43 percent.

The results, while within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points, represents the first time Romney has had an edge in the Times/CBS survey since he emerged as the presumptive Republican nominee in early April.

To me, this is great news! Obama's campaign is bleeding money and he can't keep up with Romney!!

President Romney 2012! Lean into it!!!

I have noticed that when civility is called for on a day like this, on a topic like this, it has been the Right that simply shows no compassion or common sense to just stop the hate for even one day. I guess this is why the RNC chose today to release the following statement...

Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, announced today at a gathering of high profile Republicans and Wall Street executives that the GOP is formally divorcing reality on grounds of irreconcilable differences.

Priebus explained, “This was a difficult decision, we’ve been married to reality for over 150 years but we’ve just grown apart. We rarely go out together nowadays and we never seem to be able to agree on anything anymore. We’re constantly at odds over little things, over big things and frankly, I think we’ve just outgrown reality.”

Among the many reasons given for this split up, Priebus admitted that there was jealousy on the GOP’s part over Progressives’ familiarity with reality. “We believe in the sanctity of marriage which is why we are filing for this divorce,” Priebus stated with a straight face.

“Since the Nixon years, things just started to go downhill in our relationship. It had gotten to the point that whenever we spoke on talk shows, aired campaign ads or gave stump speeches, reality would get into a conflict of some kind with us. I mean, you just can’t go on like that indefinitely,” said Priebus. “When we were younger, it was easier and though we’d have our little disagreements, for the most part we got along. People sometimes change over time, we’re not who we were and we found that we were just becoming incompatible.”

Asked about what the final straws were that drove the GOP to this divorce, Priebus mentioned that reality wouldn’t be polite to their friends. “We’d have Paul Ryan and his budget over for dinner and reality would act as if it was an imposition. Recently we had been invited to attend a big fundraiser for Mitt Romney and when Romney spoke, there was an empty seat next to me, reality wasn’t anywhere to be found in the room.”

“When we’d talk about where we wanted to go, like to the White House and The Senate, we could never agree on how to get there,” Priebus complained. “When you’re in a marriage, you need to know that the other is right behind you, supporting you no matter what. Yet for years now, whenever we’d go on Fox News or talk about economics, reality wouldn’t be there for us.”

Priebus was remarkably candid about the relationship. “There hasn’t been any real intimacy between us for years, the passion for reality just isn’t there any more for us. Look, we haven’t been saints, we’ve gotten into bed with deception before the divorce but by then, the marriage was already over. The thing is, reality just didn’t understand us. Deception knew exactly where we were coming from, for us it was like finally meeting our soul mate.”

The GOP and deception have been together since the GOP’s separation from reality and Priebus claims that the GOP has never been happier. “Everything’s easier now, we can express ourselves dishonestly and be on the same page, we never argue or have any conflicts, things just feel right now,” Priebus beamed.

“Of course, there’s the custody issue we’ll have to deal with now, who will get the American public. We know that typically, reality would be awarded custody but we’re going to fight tooth and nail to get sole custody. We’ve hired Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers to argue the case for us and with the support of deception, we feel very confident that we could prevail.”

Priebus said that the GOP doesn’t harbor any grudges against reality. “We wish reality all the best in the future and even though we will never be together again, we will never forget the many good times we had together. However, where we’re at now is looking to the future and appreciating the relationship we’re in now with deception. In fact, we hadn’t planned to announce this publicly yet but we have already become married to deception!”

The issue of bigamy was discounted by Priebus, “We may have been cheating on reality but in our minds, we’ve been divorced from reality for some time and whether that is formally recognized or not, it is the truth. So our being married to deception isn’t a betrayal of reality because we’re no longer connected to reality.”

Reality was asked to comment on the divorce and simply replied, “Que sera, sera.” In response to being asked how it felt about having stolen the heart of the GOP away from reality, deception replied, “I didn’t, really. It was Obama’s fault.”

The GOP and deception are now happily married and living together in what deception describes as “a golden castle in the clouds where money rains down from the sky and everyone is happy and healthy…and all Americans can move there if they just vote for Romney.”

The first known ATF "gunwalking" operation to Mexican drug cartels, named Operation Wide Receiver, began in early 2006 and ran into late 2007. Licensed dealer Mike Detty of Mad Dawg Global informed the ATF of a suspicious gun purchase that took place in February 2006 in Tucson, Arizona. In March he was hired as a confidential informant working with the ATF's Tucson office, part of their Phoenix, Arizona field division.[27] With the use of surveillance equipment, ATF agents monitored additional sales by Detty to straw purchasers. With assurance from ATF "that Mexican officials would be conducting surveillance or interdictions when guns got to the other side of the border",[12] Detty would sell a total of about 450 guns during the operation.[26] These included AR-15s, semi-automatic AK-pattern rifles, and Colt .38s. The majority of the guns were eventually lost as they moved into Mexico.[7][27][28][29]

At the time, under the Bush administration Department of Justice (DOJ), no arrests or indictments were made.

        Of course it is all about politics and condolences and who is the better man for not politicizing while they take the headlines away about how they sent their condolences. Could you imagine what it would be like if they said nothing ?. 24 hours is now up ! The truth is what it is people seem to care more when it happens over the pain and then the anger sets in. Some of us see through the charade when they say it is a time for mourning not politics they are really doing what politicians do during situations like this getting public approval which is politics. Ohh by the way the way there must be some accountability when it comes to our children get it right !

              Here's the text of what was said:

              "George Stephanopolous: I'm going to go to Brian Ross. Brian, you've been looking at it, investigating the background of Jim Holmes. You found something that might be significant.

              Brian Ross, ABC News: There's a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado on the tea party site as well, talking about enjoying the Tea Party last year. We don't know if this is the same Jim Holmes but it is Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado.

              Stephanopolous: Okay, we'll keep looking at that."

              Shortly afterwards on the ABC/GMA webpage:

              An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.

                      Wouldn't it be a good idea just to shut up about this for a while, and let the public hand wringing subside?. Seems that every tv channel is analyzing out the yingyang about how this shooting is a symptom of doom for every American still breathing. This was the actions of a crazy person, just one, it appears, not every soul in America. I think the media craze is encouraging copycats for the most part, and accomplishing nothing. Now, I will take my advice and shut up about this situation, please join me.

                            Awful hateful rants have been posted, people are dead, and terribly wounded. The nation is in mourning and whats wrong with you folks that spew such poisonous diatribes. Racism and bigotry has reared its ugly head. Such heartbreak, I am so very sorry for those people that are enduring this tragedy with such grace and fortitude.

                              Obama is right. There will be other days for politics.

                              In Obama's case about 185 days. then he will be tossed onto the dungheap of history where he has always belonged. Memo to the DNC....Crap always gets flushed.

                              Obama is crap.

                              I'll bet Rush Limbaugh is squirming after his hate-filled conspiracy theory about Bane and Bain Capital.

                              It's only a matter of time before he inspired some gun nut to take him seriously and do something horrific.

                                Please provide us with the credible source that tells you he's a registered Democrat.

                                And didn't you say the same thing about Jared Loughner? That turned out to be false as well.

                                yeah, jared loughner was registered as a democrat in 2008 according to pima county records.

                                but maybe the country registrar made that up.

                                according to san diego county records holmes was registered as a democrat in 2008.

                                maybe san diego county registrar made this up too.

                                every time some idiot claims james holmes is a republican....you can bet i will point out holmes was a registered democrat.

                                It's kind of tragic Anti Christ that your snowballing collapse of human rights the world over dropped me into full blown torture to cement over it only to desperately orchestrate the deepest psychosis - that psychiatrists throw away at first- which toward the end was exclusively designed to have the Aurora police detectives put on a hair pin trigger having to follow normal assumptions that a massive military effort is holding in place that they unknowingly drive through every day...

                                Because after experiencing your most sadistic spectrum I know Loughner never had a chance and that is why I stand up for him at great expense to my life..

                                With Bruce Ivins, who became so sick that he wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, you had the opportunity to exploit a half ass therapist -that he was paying for help dealing with the fact the FBI was derailing his life without any investigative connection to a crime that already occurred-until it was directly inferred by his ass half therapist she was pointlessly cooperating with the FBI for the sole reason to have him blow up and create the medical documentation for my trash to quickly shift the spectrum he never knew was over him...

                                In fact you desperate and sick @!$%#, with your full blown war crime spread so paper thin and transparent across the world I know your calculation -within what is the core of pure @!$%# -since you are neck deep in capital crime anyway that you can only legitimize at the personal relationship level with Leahy and Durbin to justify torturing innocent citizens to death to conceal full blown acts of war -would have been far different had I had a FLYD card (that I would have been able to obtain with ease any year of my adult life) but the blow back would potentially be able to cusp over your massive military effort hence the most sadistic and repulsive and needless option was chosen...

                                But don't worry detective, cause despite the fact I put nearly every Secret Service Counter Sniper (including an award winning Marine Core Sniper) to shame during training I never hope to own a firearm and despite how @!$%#in sick I sound I am a little intelligent and you would have never heard of me as the FBI hides with pride using lethal force to defend a story line to keep these shameful pieces of pure trash out of prison because of my darkest day within what is a forced execution I will still leave this earth on my terms...

                                But I would love to spit in Durbin's face and wish that coward a long life because that piss poor excuse of a man hides the same military power that caused the tragedy in Tucson...

                                If you ever want to learn a thing or two about shooting let me know other wise keep fighting the good fight in this crazy world...

                                As for you antichrist, it seems you have the devils luck at your back you sick pathetic excuse of a man but you know who will be there himself to collect your marker -the soul of this very nation- with your last breath and you can shout Syria and Iran all you want...

                                    Anti Christ,

                                    What did you wish for?

                                    My birthday pizza party was very pleasant despite a sudden loss of equilibrium that will be cleared by an MRI to rebuild your psychosis -to dismiss the full blown torture that dropped me into that documentation-but that is so paper thin and sloppy that my doctor ordered me off my meds until things make more sense but whose rat poison -that makes me convulse- I need to breath now throughout the day...

                                    I know the entire system is coming under assessment now (Muller) which means military control animal whoop so things can make sense again no matter how unplausable they become as the parameters of DOD quality control (that review that weeks activity to release the upcoming weeks activity) are basically wide open now in this sadistic and sulfur wreaking perversion...

                                    I remember years ago HU -when I was well into my neutralization and already completely encompassed by a full blown military procedure (that at that point had to proceed with less than lethal means toward a lethal end) functioning through an artificial state that was a shade less than torture-with the job I loved- years separated from DC where I never had a security clearance nor access to classified information when an undercover piece of @!$%#-that confused me so bad I walked away from-was cold calling...

                                    Despite the state I was in, I did my job well-loved the titbars along the way that made war criminal Cheney judge me-until my entire nationwide contract magically got rewritten with the only metric being the number of accounts I visited and they were fixed and since right before this "renegotiation" occurred many of mine were stripped away and I knew it would eventually end in an unfair termination...

                                    At that point I simply figured that since each opportunity to exploit my worker's cooperation failed to construct a negative diagnosis these stupid @!$%#s didn't have the skill to keep following me around three states of office supply resellers -since a no cause investigation- wiring people into a deeper power and darker intent-was necessary to keep the full blown war crime that occurred -without one fact to justify it-under wraps...

                                    Looking back I feel a little stupid at how simple it all was assuming destroying the rights of as many citizens as possible -within my bubble - was necessary to reduce the risk of one innocent man by .000001% so long as the truth of what was driving it never got outside the my expanding military bubble-and hence the eventual need for anti christ's world wide lethal grid to suppress the snow balling effect needed to destroy one innocent man-purely for a criminal defense-created to the point it went so far and deep -because of his desperate and shameful ass- that the best way to protect the perception of rule of law -and get the western leaders bound by deepening shame off the hook-was simply go as far outside the rules of warfare as possible up to torturing innocent citizens to death while their family is forced to watch...

                                    Any Hu...

                                    While I saw this circle of sulfur being laid around me at HP HU over five years ago -by collapsing people's rights around me just to lay the framework of a psychological profile that is so paper thin that antichrist needs to keep no cause moving forward to exploit society to keep me in it- until he got so desperate by how deep and far it went for no reason that he finally authorized lethal means and full blown torture to drop me into it-there was a massacre and mass shooting at the college I went to at Northern Illinois University on Valentines day Hu...

                                    The Church I attended at the time (while being functional and living on my own fighting off the sickest artificial state imaginable while having no control over the invisible no cause collapse of the society interwoven around me) held a beautiful ceremony (harp and all) that a few people (including myself) attended and we heard the names of all the victims being read out loud but also, at the very end, the gun man, who took his own life...

                                    It was the most dignified and classiest event I have ever been to HU (while yours are pure shame when with Hillary) because that was a genuine sickness anti Christ not a snowballing world wide effort that needlessly binded world leaders in deepening and compromising shame being driven by your pathetic ass that increases your desperation to the point you have legitimized the torture of your own citizens -you conclusively know to be innocent-to death to save the perception of a rule of law democracy to save your shameful and pathetic life while making you look mentally healthy on the President's Book of Secrets even though through the prism of mental health-to save your sorry ass perception- you are far worse than this man whose name was read last...

                                    I had a special connection to where this shooting took place HU because I attended a science class in that very hall and the day before Valentines day I received a note in the mailbox of the dorm I lived in from a girl in that class that apparently liked me and I had my first date on valentines day after meeting her in between the row of seats where this carnage took place...

                                    Your interested by little ease dropping greys HU? There was a little more intertwined through my life that was rather interesting but completely independent of the events of the last six years-untouched by their hands- but that would just muddy the water and even be exploited as cover by my deepest trash...

                                    The answer to my riddle was far more important...

                                    Life is really full of what looks like strange quarks HU but I am convinced (feel I have proved) the stage every single human moves through was set before the fist page of history was put to paper and every actor has a thread that connects the first page with the last where an extraordinary design behind the reality in front of them occasionally surfaces like logs just below the surface of water and you never know how anyone can effect all the pages moving forward except that what seems like an infinite number off possibilities have all been planned for and sometimes the more the water gets drained because of pure shame, arrogance, and desperation the greater and more frequent the glimpses get because we all get the show we deserve on this side of life's stage but we will all get what we individually deserve on the other side Hu...

                                    Anyway HU, soon I stopped going to this church because the people around me -probably quite decent and alot like me- where unknowingly exploiting the sickening state I was already in and I could not find peace -as they unknowingly inferred things like my upcoming termination I could not prevent- as the government took the control over this church and used it perceived freedoms as cover for the most repulsive government on the face of the Earth..

                                    So what was your wish Mr. President??

                                    Now that you have collapsed your democracy into a reality that it is worse than a full blown dictatorship -where military force holds the perception of rule of law to keep a lethal injection out of your arm because you held your breath for the last four years needlessly watching someone articulate how they are being suspended in a state just shy of torture- until what was driving it escaped their mushrooming military bubble - as you put the peddle to the metal and watched it snowball the world over bringing world leaders into deepening shame to the point your own arrogance and shame made you so desperate that your military has to torture what you know to be innocent citizens into killing themselves to protect this nations perception and your shameful life...

                                    When you take your last breath you will wish you really were sick Mr President and that is why I hope God shows you no mercy...

                                        Jesse, I think this quote from Rich's rambling screed above says it all...

                                        my doctor ordered me off my meds until things make more sense

                                        The dude is admittedly "off his meds". And, in need of a seriously harsh mental enema. He's, as the Brits say, Bonkers!

                                        Time to Ignore This Author and hope that someone close to him intervenes before he hurts himself or others.

                                        Although I do think the Monitors should take note of this quote also from Rich's screed...

                                        When you take your last breath you will wish you really were sick Mr President and that is why I hope God shows you no mercy...

                                        That read very ominously.
