President Obama visits injured, families of Aurora victims

President Barack Obama spent more than two private hours with injured victims and families at University of Colorado Hospital on Sunday evening before saying in a televised address that it will be the "good people" and the heroic acts that will be remembered in the theater shootings -- not the alleged gunman.

Solemn, flanked by ashen-faced Colorado politicians and Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates, Obama spoke to reporters at the hospital for about nine minutes before taking off for a series of campaign events on the West Coast.

He quoted a passage from the Bible's book of Revelation that says, in part, that God "will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more."

Obama said he came to the victims and the families "not so much as president as I do as a father and as a husband."

The nightmarish, surreal story of what took place in Century Aurora 16's theater 9 resonates, Obama said, because people can easily imagine themselves in the families' shoes.

"We can all understand what it would be like to have someone that we love taken from us in this fashion,Christian Louboutin Outlet Sale Christian Louboutin Shoes Free Shpping!" he said.

Obama didn't mention the alleged gunman, James Eagan Holmes, by name, saying that though there was a lot of attention on him now, eventually that notoriety will fade.Find christian louboutin platform pumpss at ShopStyle.

"In the end, after he has felt the full force of our justice system, what will be remembered are the good people who were impacted by this tragedy," Obama said.

Jordan Ghawi, brother of victim Jessica Ghawi, tweeted after the meeting: "Sat down with President Obama. He has been incredible. He too has agreed not to mention the shooter's name."

The victims' families gathered at the hospital, and Obama reportedly moved from cluster to cluster, speaking to them mostly about happy memories of those killed. His visit ran about an hour longer than planned.

"The staff kept trying to drag him out, and he wouldn't be dragged out," Gov. John Hickenlooper said.

Sunday's trip was the second time Obama has traveled to Colorado this summer because of tragedy. He visited Colorado Springs at the end of June to thank volunteers and firefighters who fought the devastating Waldo Canyon fire.

The president, who is in a tough race with GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, will continue to suspend election politics, including television ads,cheap Christian Louboutin Sale for women online, in Colorado through this week.

Romney on Sunday praised Obama's handling of the tragedy, saying visiting families was the "right thing."

Obama told a story of Allie Young, 19, who was shot in the neck, and her friend Stephanie Davies, whose quick thinking, he said, likely saved Young's life.

After Young was shot, Davies pulled her out of harm's way and held her fingers to her friend's neck to slow the bleeding, Obama said.

Young apparently told Davies to flee, but she refused, staying with Young and pulling her out of the aisle until the shooting stopped.Welcome To Red Bottom Shoes Christian Louboutin Pump Online Store. There Are A Lot Of Cheap Christian Louboutin Pumps On Sale.

Aurora Police Chief Oates, who was with the president during his three-hour trip, appeared to choke up at that detail.

"Because of Stephanie's timely actions, I just had a conversation with Allie downstairs, and she is going to be fine," Obama said. "As heartbreaking as it is for the families, it's worth us spending most of our time reflecting on young Americans like Allie and Stephanie, because they represent what's best in us,I have not make a research whether it is a truth that each woman loves buy christian louboutin? and they assure us that out of this darkness a brighter day is going to come."
