Barack speaks out on violence

Barack Obama released a personal statement at his website on the Virginia Tech tragedy:

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone touched by the tragedy in Virginia

Speaking in Milwaukee, Obama said citizens needed to act to stop violence. "We continue to be degraded by murders, crime and all manner of abuse perpetrated on our children, and Bobby Kennedy's right _ we tolerate it," Obama said. "Things haven't changed as much as they should have in the past 40 years, " referring to a speech by Kennedy after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
