The Final State of the Union
This morning at 11:00AM EST President Obama, the First Lady and White House staff joined many across the country in observing a moment of silence to honor the innocent victims of the senseless tragedy in Tucson, Arizona, including those still fighting for their lives.
In addition to staying on top of the investigation and helping wherever possible, the President has been and will continue to be in close contact with those concerned, having made calls to Representative Gifford's husband, Mark Kelly, the families of Christina-Taylor Green and Gabe Zimmerman, as well as House Leadership and members of the Arizona delegation in both the House and Senate.
