No, the President didn't respond to my post about the Arizona tragedy. But he did respond to the tragedy...and might I say, his words should be taken to heart...although I did not hear it live, the text is available online and is a good read...
"...What we can't do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on one another"...
"As we discuss these issues, let each of us do so with a good dose of humility. Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let us use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy, and remind ourselves of all the ways our hopes and dreams are bound together."
Bravo Mr. President!
