Barack Obama actually said...
This evening, Michelle and I will do what I know every parent in America will do, which is hug our children a little tighter, and we will tell them that we love them, and we will remind each other how deeply we love one another. But there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight and they need all of us right now.
