Gun Control and Immigration Reform Snake Through Congress

The president went off to Newtown, Connecticut yesterday to try and get some momentum for some new gun legislation. Here's what he had to say:

"Newtown, we want you to know that we're here with you. We will not walk away from the promises we've made. We are as determined as ever to do what must be done, in fact, I'm here to ask you to help me to show that we can get it done. We'r not forgetting."
