11:00 a.m. EST Obama calls for a moment of silence

[Sandy Eggo]

Monday

at 11:00 a.m. eastern standard time, I call on Americans to observe a moment of silence to honor the innocent victims of the senseless tragedy in Tucson, Arizona, including those still fighting for their lives.  It will be a time for us to come together as a nation in prayer or reflection, keeping the victims and their families closely at heart." 

The President will observe the moment of silence with White House staff on the South Lawn. The moment of silence will be pooled press.

Today, the President has signed a proclamation calling for flags to be flown at half-staff.

Also, the planned trip by the President to Schenectady, New York, on Tuesday, January 11, to the General Electric energy division is postponed.  The trip is expected to be rescheduled.

I'm sure the victims and their families don't feel that this is being made into "more than what it is". Although I'm sure they will agree that the entire thing sucks.

for your information, my bible study group, who meets once a week during lunch, all was praying at 11:00 for those victims and families...but thanks for you being all-knowing....

[Sandy Eggo]

I don't pray, but I did take a moment of pause to think about the families and victims. I also thought about the poor crazy kid that did this. I thought about our society and how hate is nurtured until it manifests itself into something horrific such as this. I wished that people would wise up, slow down, relax and think so that they can realize that violence and hatred never solve anything and only cause more pain and misery.

Who wouldn't want to know why? I'm damned sure that if it were my loved one, that I would want answers. The fact that he's a nutjob goes without saying, but being nuts doesn't make someone a murderer. What were his motivators?

  I bet you that she going to take cover and hide out for awhile.  And you never will see a telescope sight in anything she writes and you will never hear again.  Lock and load or reload.  She not very bright, but she ain't stupid.

That was a rhetorical question, but since you have felt a need to answer it:
