Did the President or FIrst lady go to Aurora?

what about the President, Mitt, or even Paul Ryan?

I don't see eye to eye with the First Lady, but I think it's a nice gesture for her to stop and visit the families.

does anyone think this would happen if it wasnt election season.....

Paul Ryan was not here for the funeral. He did attend Natl. Nite out and the prayer vigil. Remember, Romney made his pick and Paul couldn't be in two places at the same time. City officials, FBI, and the Asst. US Attorney General are all going to have to scramble into action to bring into reality their empty promises to the residents. Perhaps hold discussions within the community which are currently being denied and provide answers to tough questions they would rather ignore. Ignorance as evidenced by the comments prevails. Welcome Michelle.

This is a wonderful gesture from the First Lady. It is sad and sickening that this peaceful temple and its congregation became a target for violence.

Was out visiting family in Denver at the time of the shooting. Yes, Obama did come to Denver, only if it was for an hour photo op. He was also there a few weeks earlier because of the forest fires. Didn't accomplish anything on either trip other than to show his face to the voters. You have to understand, Colorado is a swing state. Hence his constant trips there. And by the way, most people hate it when he comes. And with Ryan being on the ticket, that makes Wisconsin also a swing state. So expect to see more photo ops from the two of them. Oh joy,I can hardly wait.

Just loved it when your Pres glory hound did a "shout out "as an opening remark at Fort Hood . classy guy . As for big butt Obummer.. To say what she did about Mcdonalds Food , couldn't she put it together just how sponserships work??? Saw The Rev Extortionist there the otherday Hope he succedes in his wish to cut baraks balls off classy bunch all.

W.House never called Border patrol B. Terrys family after he was shot to death. But Obama did call Sandra Flueck to make sure she was ok after Rush called her what she truly is!

Honest to Pete -- she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't with the usual conservative suspects on Patch.

Even if you feel what you feel about this president have you no understanding of what this post is really about? This is about people hurting and grieving. As a person representing a mother, sister, daughter and wife of the president and the president she is here to honor those lives lost in a senseless act.

the argument over this subject is amateur. some go to funerals . some do not. some send flowers. some do not. some send condolences. some do not. that alone does not a person make. the American Indians were subjected to our greed. the Irish poor were subjected to disdain, as were most lower class (poor) people. the jews were turned away from American when their ship/s were aborted. there were no great speakers that came to the aid of these people. every day there is a tragedy. both Presidents Bush and Obamma regret the hatred and harm to any person/s in the USA. whether you like it or not , everything politicians do is not for political gain. for those who are critical of our wonderful country, go quietly but go away.

Why has she not gone to Afghanistan to visit and lay a wreath for so many of the innocent villages and homes our "troops" have blown to flinders because an "insurgent" maybe lived there and their families were just collateral damage to send a message. You think this is made up? Well, then, you are just ignorant. Good will by the bullet and remote drone airplane.

Really? Your comment is beyond pathetic.. God help us when people like you aspire to run the country.
