Since Friday, it has been difficult to miss President Obama’s emotional response to the horrific elementary school massacre in Connecticut.
“I have never seen this president, who is always calm and collected, so shaken by an event like this,” said Rep. John Larson (D-CT), who appeared on Monday’s NOW With Alex Wagner. “He said that this was the worst thing that’s happened in his presidency.”
As a result, there are strong indications that action will emerge from emotion. On Sunday, President Obama vowed to use the powers of his office to begin a dialogue aimed at stopping mass violence. As of Monday, though, the White House had not outlined any specific solutions.
“It’s a complex problem that will require a complex solution, said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney Monday. “I don’t have a specific agenda to announce to you today.”
