According to video of a CNN interview posted at TPM, President Obama is considering inviting Georgia schoolhouse shooting hero Antoinette Tuff to the White House. In the interview, the president said:
She was remarkable. I talked to her today, because when I heard the 911 call and ,you know, read the sequence of events, I thought here is somebody who is not just courage and not just cool under pressure, but also had enough heart that somehow that she could convince somebody that was really troubled that she cared about him. And I told her, I said that not only did she Michelle and me proud but she probably saved a lot of lives, including the life of the potential perpetrator.
This is a good moment to flog kossack
