CNN notes that since winning reelection in November, we've begun to see a new Barack Obama. A man who is kinder, gentler, and softer--and even able to cry in public.
President Barack Obama cried while delivering remarks on the horrific shooting today in Connecticut:
We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years," said Obama. "And each time I learn the news I react not as a President, but as anybody else would -- as a parent. And that was especially true today. I know there’s not a parent in America who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do."
