Obama Wants "Meaningful Action" To Prevent School Massacres
No, we don't think he knows what this means, either
With Washington stalemated on the "fiscal cliff", the weekly addresses from President Obama and the Republican Party were expected to focus on that fight - until the unexpected happened Friday at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

Nope. Politics is the only thing that keeps us from being your subjects.
