After the tragedy that struck Newtown, Connecticut this morning, President Obama addressed the nation in a brief but emotional speech.
Doing his best to hold back the tears, Obama stated:
“We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the last few years…we’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent future tragedies like this.”
