People walk from the U.S. Capitol to the Washington Monument in Washington, Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013, during a march on Washington for gun control.
Alongside Mayor Vincent Gray, a crowd that stretched for about two blocks marched down Constitution Avenue toward the Washington Monument, where speakers called for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition. Some of the demonstrators held signs that read “We Are Sandy Hook.”
Politico pointed out that President Barack Obama became the first to use the word “gay” in an inaugural address when he addressed the nation on Monday.
I thought this particular quote shows a continued evolution from last spring when he first voiced his support. The introspective nature of that initial endorsement has become more forceful.
Thank you Mr. President for using your Inauguration Speech on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to recognize inequality and to call all Americans to come together.
“This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.”

HuffPost: Hillary Clinton, Ron Johnson Engage In Heated Exchange At Benghazi Hearing
“With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans,” Clinton responded, raising her voice at Johnson, who continued to interrupt her. “Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk last night who decided to kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator.”
I really really love her. #Hilary2016
Clinton continued, defending the State Department’s efforts in the wake of the assault.
“Honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is people were trying their best in real time to get to the best information,” she said, before blasting the senator’s line of questioning. “Give me a break, Senator Johnson. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.”
