he met with the parents of victims of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in 2012 the toughest day of his presidency.
“I still consider the day I
traveled up to Newtown to meet with parents and address that community as the
toughest day of my presidency.

saw Secret Service cry at an event. So it was brutal.”

those kids, it makes me mad,” Obama said Jan. 5, 2016.

the grieving parents of the dead children continue to haunt him.
“It wasn’t just the
parents,” he told Anderson Cooper. “You had siblings, you know — 10-year-olds,
8-year-olds, 3-year-olds who in some cases didn’t even understand that their
brother or sister weren’t going to be coming home.”
