    "As a community, you’ve inspired us, Newtown. In the face of indescribable violence, in the face of unconscionable evil, you’ve looked out for each other, and you’ve cared for one another, and you’ve loved one another. This is how Newtown will be remembered. And with time, and God’s grace, that love will see you through." —President Obama

    "While nothing can take the place of a lost child or loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need — to remind them that we are there for them; that we are praying for them; and that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their own memories, but also in their community, and their country." —President Obama

    "This evening, Michelle and I will do what I know every parent in America will do, which is hug our children a little tighter and we’ll tell them that we love them, and we’ll remind each other how deeply we love one another. But there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight. And they need all of us right now." —President Obama, http://wh.gov/RRHt

    "If Congress does nothing, every family will see their income taxes automatically go up at the beginning of next year. A typical middle class family of four will see their income taxes rise by $2,200. We can’t let that happen. Our families can’t afford it, and neither can our economy." —President Obama

    "If we’re serious about reducing our deficit while still investing in things like education and research that are important to growing our economy — and if we’re serious about protecting middle-class families — then we’re also going to have to ask the wealthiest Americans to pay higher tax rates. That’s one principle I won’t compromise on." —President Obama, http://wh.gov/N6IL
