WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will travel to Colorado on Sunday to visit with victims of the movie theater shooting and their families.
White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer announced plans for the trip on Saturday night. Aides say will also include meetings with state and local officials. In his weekly radio address, Obama called for prayer and reflection on the shooting rampage in Aurora, Colo., which claimed 12 lives. He urged Americans to embrace the families who lost loved ones in Aurora and to "let them know we will be there for them as a nation." ![]() |

Pandering:
Is the act of expressing one's views in accordance with the likes of a group to which one is attempting to appeal. The term is most notably associated with politics. In pandering, the views one is verbally expressing are merely for the purpose of drawing support up to and including votes and do not necessarily reflect one's personal values. Pandering is essentially a reaction of panic in elected officials who must either tailor their views to public opinion or risk losing their existing or potential seat. Politicians running for office are known to pander because their winning depends on the voters. When an election is upcoming, many straw polls are taken, and the results may change by the day or even by the hour. By pandering, a politician attempts to tilt the results in his or her favor. ![]() |

(Obama to visit Colorado shooting victims on Sunday)
Why? They can't vote any longer. You right. Only a low-life panderer would profit from this. Beside, doesn't he have jobs he's supposed to be pulling out of thin air? PS Check those weapons and see if any belong to Fast and Furious or Military/police ordinance. |
