my first guess would be they are not republican.
Barack Obama doesn’t cry in public often.It’s happened just four times since people started paying attention. The first was in North Carolina, the night before polls closed in 2008, when he told a crowd that his grandmother — “a quiet hero” — had just died; the second was four years later, almost to the day, at his last-ever campaign rally on a cold night in Iowa, the state where it all began; and the third was two days later, at campaign headquarters in Chicago, as he thanked his staff and told them that his work “had come full circle.”The fourth time Obama let America see him cry was December 14, in the White House briefing room, at 3:15 p.m. And this time, Obama’s tears weren’t about him or his grandmother or his winning campaign — he cried instead for 20 children and six adults who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, at the hand of a killer with a gun.His tears may be the reason this time is different. If gun control legislation can pass "it will be because people are responding as brothers and sisters, not as politicians,” said one gun control advocate, Third Way’s Matt Bennett. “This is a much more profound emotional response than we’ve ever seen. People are reacting in the most basic human way.”
if i may borrow from the republicans "OBAMACARES"
Yes, “our hearts are broken,” Obama said in Tucson to a raucous crowd of 14,000 cheering over his words, “and yet, our hearts also have reason for fullness. Our hearts are full of hope and thanks for the 13 Americans who survived the shooting.”
That was the difference: There was still hope. Still time yet, he said, to have a debate on “everything from the merits of gun safety laws to the adequacy of our mental health system.” But first, he warned, we need to “pause for a moment and make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.”
from the heart of our American President Barack Hussein Obama
