        GOP controlled both houses. They blocked every move he made. You must not have been paying attention.

        Democrats controlled the house, senate, and presidency for the first 2 years. Or were you not paying attention?

        Yep. All of these happened while GOP held congress and stimied all attempts at common sense gun laws. Try again!

        There were no republicans when the Muslims used to capture, enslave and behead anyone attempting to ship the trade routs to Jerusalem. There were no republicans during the massacre of the shaolin by the emperors army.

        These kids need counseling and healing, not to be groomed into activists with the help of the media while you cheer them on to do the job you could've done. We used to shield kids from the media after a crisis now we add fame and the neglected responsibilities of politicians?

        The activism came and the media followed. Not the other way around.

        Anger came first then came the media, then came activism. The point is, these kids won't get a chance to process their grief with cameras in their faces, the media and Obama cheering them on to DC.

        What 16 yr olds want isn't always what's best for them. I don't think this media fueled, celeb endorsed frenzy is going to be healthy for traumatized kids. Do you?

        Many of them are 18, or will be very soon. Old enough to vote, and buy the guns used to murder their friends last week. What’s unhealthy about them wanting to make change?

        Replying to @shanemente @USATODAY @BarackObama

        What's unhealthy is not allowing them time to process grief before beginning their careers in activism, as I've mentioned. Easy to see there are many eager to ride their emotions to push an agenda. Which is more important, their emotional health or an agenda?

        Here’s an idea, ask them what they want. They seem to be screaming it from the rooftops. Listen to them, they deserve a voice too.

        As much as I applaud his support of these enterprising youngsters, it places an odd burden of responsibility. If you've been waiting for such action, why not start it yourself?
