Remarks by the President at DNC Event

 

April 24, 2013
Private Residence
 
 
 
8:06 P.M. CDT
 
 
 
THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you, everybody.  Thank you.  Thank you so much.  Well, let me begin by thanking Naomi and Larry for opening up this extraordinary home to all of us.  It is wonderful to see them again.  And they’ve been such longtime supporters.  They were there back in the day when many of you could not pronounce my name.  (Laughter.)  But they’ve just been great friends and are active on so many fronts.  Obviously, Larry is labor and Naomi is management — (laughter) — as is true in our household as well.  (Laughter.)  But we really appreciate them and their very impressive sons.  
 
 
 
I also want to acknowledge Henry Munoz who’s here and is just doing an outstanding job as our finance chair of the DNC.  Where’s Henry?  There he is.  (Applause.)  Thank you, Henry.  And I understand that the former mayor of this great city, Ron Kirk, is still around.  So, everybody, give a big round of applause to Ron.  (Applause.)  
 
 
 
Obviously this has been a tough couple of weeks for the country.  I have spent time in Boston and have been inspired by the incredible resilience of that city in the wake of such a horrific tragedy; had a chance to visit with some of the victims of the explosion and talk to the families of some of the folks who were lost.  And then tomorrow I’ll be attending a memorial service for the tragedy that took place in West, Texas, and have a chance to visit with some of those families.  
 
 
 
And there’s no words that are satisfactory when you’re confronting these kinds of losses.  And families cope, they do their best, but obviously their lives are transformed by this.  And so I don’t want to pretend that somehow you can put a positive gloss on those kinds of events.  On the other hand, what is remarkable is the strength and the courage and the fellowship that you see in people when they’re confronted with these kinds of challenges.  And in Boston, what you saw was not just the character of an extraordinary American city, but it was also the character of a nation.
 
 
 
There is something about tough times that brings out the best in us, and all the petty differences and the divisions of race and class and religion and political persuasion all seem to fade away.  And I remember, as I was driving from the airport to the memorial service in Boston, I was with Deval Patrick – outstanding Governor of Massachusetts and a great friend who handled the whole situation as well as anybody could — and we agreed that wouldn’t it be something if we could just somehow capture and sustain that spirit beyond tragedy.
 
 
 
That’s kind of a cliché.  We talk about this a lot. 
We talked about this after 9/11; we talk about it after a natural disaster like Sandy.  We’re all struck by how we come to each other’s aid, and these huge waves of empathy come forward and people are willing to do anything for strangers because they understand there but for the grace of God go I.  And they also understand that there’s something fundamental that binds us together as Americans, and that we love this country, and this country is simply a collection of incredible people — our fellow citizens.
 
 
 
And that idea of citizenship, the idea that we don’t just have obligations to ourselves — we do; we have obligations obviously to our families and our immediate circles.  But we have also an obligation to something larger than ourselves; that our orbit of concern extends to a child somewhere in a border town in Texas who is struggling to get a decent education.  And it extends to a senior citizen somewhere in Maine that is trying to figure out how they can get enough heating oil to get through a winter and have enough to eat at the same time.  And it extends to the young immigrant who just came here and is trying to find their way in California.  And it applies to a single mom in New York who is going back and has gotten her education and is looking for some decent daycare.  That all of us have a stake in their success, and all of us have a stake in a country that expresses this incredible quality of compassion and concern and fellow feeling not just in our churches or our synagogues or our mosques or our temples, not just in our workplaces or our neighborhoods or our Little League, but also expresses itself through our government.
 
 
 
And the reason I think all of you are here is because you believe that, too.  And the Democratic Party at its best tries to give expression to that.  The Democratic Party doesn’t always get it right and this is not a feeling that is unique to Democrats. I’m really looking forward to attending the Bush Library opening tomorrow, and one of the things I will insist upon is that whatever our political differences, President Bush loves this country and loves its people and shared that same concern and was concerned about all people in America, not just some, not just those who voted Republican.  I think that’s true about him and I think that’s true about most of us.
 
 
 
But what’s also true is that policy matters.  How we express that best part of ourselves is a matter of significant debate and it’s a matter of votes, and it’s a matter of legislation and budgets, and how we’re allocating resources and how we’re prioritizing what we think is important.  And although I couldn’t be prouder of the work that we’ve done over the last four years, we all know we’ve got a lot more work to do on that front.  
 
 
 
Middle-class families all across America are struggling to get by.  And things have stabilized since the crisis in 2008, but for a lot of folks, they’re still just barely keeping their heads above water.  There are millions of kids across this country who are still poorly educated or malnourished, or don’t have any place to go outside of school.  And for them, college is just a distant dream.  They can’t even imagine the prospect of actually creating a life for themselves that’s similar to what they see on television, or maybe just walking down the streets of Dallas.  It’s like looking through a pane of glass.
 
 
 
We have made enormous strides when it comes to broadening equality in this country.  And I could not be prouder of the work that we’ve done under my administration to make sure that we have a strong civil rights division, that we ended “don’t ask, don’t tell,” that we’re championing the rights of the LGBT community, that we’re making sure that women are getting paid the same as men for the work that they do.  But we all know that in all kinds of interactions, large and small, there are people out there who aren’t getting a fair shot, still aren’t getting a fair deal, still aren’t being treated the way we would want ourselves to be treated.  And government has something to say about that.  
 
 
 
We have enormous challenges like climate change that our easy to ignore in the short term, and yet I think most of us here want to make sure that the next generation is bequeathed the same incredible bounty, this amazing land of ours, that we inherited from our parents and our grandparents.  
 
 
 
So we’ve got a lot of work to do.  And unfortunately, right now Washington is not — how do I put this charitably?  (Laughter.)  It’s not as functional as it should be.  It could do better.  And when you think about the work that we’ve been able to do over the last four, four and a half years, some of it, happily, has been bipartisan.  There have been times where we’ve been able to tackle issues together.  And particularly when it comes to national security and keeping America safe, I think that there’s been some convergence among Democrats and Republicans that we have to act wisely overseas and we’ve got to make sure that we’re supporting our troops when they come home, and we’ve got to take every step that we can to guard against terrorist acts, but we’ve also got to do so consistent with our Constitution and rule of law.
 
 
 
But when it comes to domestic policy, when it comes to budgets, when it comes to action that is translating into real change for people day to day, the fact of the matter is, is that when Democrats were in charge of the House we were able to make sure that 30 million people get health care, and that people who have health care have the kinds of protections they need from insurance company abuse and are getting the kind of preventive care that’s going to drive our health care costs down over the long term.
 
 
 
The fact of the matter is, is that when Democrats were in charge we were able to rein in some of the excesses of Wall Street in a way that assures long-term stability in the financial system and makes it a lot less likely that we end up seeing the kinds of taxpayer bailouts that not only weren’t fair but aren’t good for our economy.  The fact is, is that when Democrats were in charge, that’s when we were able to make sure that we got “don’t ask, don’t tell” ended.  And so who’s setting the agenda and who’s running the show in Congress makes a difference.
 
 
 
And I’m going to spend the next year and a half doing everything I can to try to bring the parties together around some basic, smart, common-sense agendas that in past years haven’t even been particularly partisan — making sure that we’re balancing our budget — or making sure that we’re bringing down our deficits and managing our budgets in a way that doesn’t just load up the entire burden on seniors or students or the poor, but asks a little bit from everybody.  
 
 
 
And making sure that we can still invest in things like early childhood education, and making sure that we’re investing in research and science so that we can continue to maintain our cutting-edge internationally; rebuilding our infrastructure so that we continue to have the best infrastructure in the world.
 
 
 
These are not things that, in the past at least, have been Democrat and Republican.  I come from the “land of Lincoln,” and it turns out that was the first Republican President’s agenda as well.  He wanted to build railroads and locks and dams, and he started the National Foundation for Science, and started land-grant colleges because he understood that we have a free market and the genius of America is unleashing the capacities of our people.  But he also understood that there’s a role for government to play to make sure that everybody is getting a fair shot; to make sure that there are ladders of opportunity; to make sure that everybody can realize their full potential.
 
 
 
So these aren’t Democratic ideas; these are American ideas. Unfortunately, they’ve gotten caught up in some partisan politics.  And we’re going to do everything we can over the next year and a half to break through that.  
 
 
 
So, occasionally, I may make some of you angry because I am going to reach out to Republicans.  I’m going to keep on doing it.  Even if some of you guys think I’m a sap, I will keep on doing it — (laughter) — because I think that’s what the country needs.  But what I also believe in is that when Democrats have the opportunity to set the agenda, then we don’t have a country where just a few are doing really, really well; we’ve got a country where potentially everybody has a chance to do well if they’re willing to work hard and if they’re willing to take responsibility.
 
 
 
That’s what we’re fighting for.  That’s why you’re here.  And I hope that all of you recognize that despite the fact that I’ve got a lot of gray hair and I don’t look exactly like I did the first time I came to Dallas as a potential Senate candidate, the same passion and the same values that motivated me then are the values that motivate me now; and that we win elections to give us the possibility of actually getting stuff done on behalf of the American people.  We don’t win elections just to have a party on Inauguration Day, and we don’t win elections just so we’ve got a title on our door, and we don’t win elections just because it’s sport.  We win elections so that we have the possibility of delivering for the American people.  And delivering means sustained work after the election.  
 
 
 
So I can’t do that by myself.  I can only do it with you.  And as Larry helpfully reminded me, I understand that Texas is a so-called red state, but you’ve got 10 million Democrats here in Texas.  And beyond the fact that there are a whole lot of Democrats in Texas, there are a whole lot of people here in Texas who need us, and who need us to fight for them.  And I don’t know about you, but I intend to fight for them as long as I have the honor of holding this office and probably a little bit after that as well.  
 
 
 
Thank you very much, everybody.  (Applause.)

Texas District Attorney And His Wife Shot To Death In Home

Posted on March 31, 2013 by Jueseppi B.

Investigators outside the home of Mike McLelland, the Kaufman County district attorney, and his wife Cynthia, who were both found shot dead on Saturday.  It was the second fatal shooting of a prosecutor in Kaufman County in two months.

 

 

 

Texas District Attorney, Wife Found Dead Inside Home

 

 

 

 

 

From The New York Times:

 

Texas Prosecutor Shot to Death Two Months After Assistant’s Killing

 

 

By   Published: March 31, 2013

 

Lauren D’Avolio contributed reporting from Kaufman, and Michael Schwirtz and Serge F. Kovaleski from New York. 

 

KAUFMAN, Tex. — The district attorney in this largely rural county southeast of Dallas and his wife were found shot to death at their home on Saturday night in Forney, Tex., two months after one of his prosecutors was shot and killed while walking to the courthouse here.

 

The fatal shootings of the district attorney, Mike McLelland, 63, of Kaufman County, and his wife, Cynthia, 65, stunned law enforcement officials and local residents, many of whom were still shaken by the killing of one of Mr. McLelland’s prosecutors, Mark E. Hasse, 57, who was killed on Jan. 31 in a parking lot near the courthouse.

 

The authorities said it was too early to say if the deaths of Mr. McLelland and his wife were connected to Mr. Hasse’s shooting. But the timing of the shootings — and the killings of two prosecutors in a county of 106,000 people in the span of eight weeks — appeared to many officials to be more than coincidence.

 

“I’m really trying to stress for people to remain calm,” said Mayor Darren Rozell of Forney. “This appeared to be a targeted attack and not a random attack.” Forney is about 15 miles northwest of the city of Kaufman, the county seat.

 

Officials from several local, state and federal agencies — including the F.B.I., the Texas Rangers and the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Department — were working on the case.

 

The Kaufman County sheriff, David A. Byrnes, told reporters at a news conference on Sunday that his officers had been called to Mr. McLelland’s house shortly after 6 p.m. on Saturday and that the bodies of Mr. McLelland and his wife were then discovered inside. He would not say if there were any signs of forced entry.

 

Sheriff Byrnes said he had increased protection for other local elected officials and would be tightening security at the courthouse, although he would not go into detail.

 

“It’s unnerving to the law enforcement community, to the community at large,” he said. “That’s why we’re striving to assure the community that we are protecting public safety and will continue to do that.”

 

In the shooting of Mr. Hasse, the authorities said one or two gunmen had gotten out of a gray or silver sedan, opened fire and fled. Witnesses told investigators that the suspect or suspects appeared to have had their faces covered and were wearing black clothing and tactical-style vests. No arrests have been made, and investigators from nine agencies have been searching for leads.

 

After Mr. Hasse’s killing, Mr. McLelland appeared alongside the county sheriff and the police chief from the city of Kaufman, vowing to find those responsible and referring to the suspect or suspects as “scum.”

 

“I hope that the people that did this are watching, because we’re very confident that we’re going to find you, we’re going to pull you out of whatever hole you’re in, we’re going to bring you back and let the people of Kaufman County prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” he told reporters.

 

Doug Lowe, the district attorney in nearby Anderson County and a friend of Mr. McLelland’s, said the latest shootings “were a blow to all Texas prosecutors.”

 

“We’re a tight-knit group,” Mr. Lowe said. “I don’t think anyone in my group will be in fear. We’re not going to let this stand in the way of getting the bad guys.”

 

One of several angles that investigators have been exploring is whether Mr. Hasse’s killing involved members of the Aryan Brotherhood, the white supremacist gang that is active in prisons. Prosecutors in Mr. McLelland’s office had assisted in investigations of the gang, including a recent case that had targeted the Brotherhood’s leadership.

 

In that case, the federal authorities announced in November that a grand jury in Houston had indicted more than 30 senior Brotherhood leaders and other members of the gang on racketeering charges. Federal officials said the defendants had agreed to commit killings, robberies, arsons and kidnappings and to traffic narcotics on behalf of the gang. The indictments stemmed from an investigation led by a multi-agency task force that included prosecutors from Kaufman County and three other district attorney’s offices. A month later, the Texas Department of Public Safety issued a statewide bulletin warning officials that the Aryan Brotherhood was planning to retaliate against officials who had helped secure the indictments.

 

Mr. Hasse was shot the same day that two Aryan Brotherhood members — Ben Christian Dillon, also known as “Tuff,” of Houston, and James Marshall Meldrum, who nickname is “Dirty,” of Dallas — pleaded guilty to racketeering charges in Federal District Court in Houston.

 

A law enforcement official said there was no evidence so far in the investigation of Mr. Hasse’s killing that pointed to the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was still continuing, said that investigators believed the shootings of Mr. Hasse and Mr. McLelland were related but appeared to have been carried out by different people, perhaps from the same group or with the same affiliation.

 

But Sheriff Byrnes said he had no indication that the shootings of Mr. McLelland and his wife were the work of the Brotherhood.

 

Investigators have also been pursuing possible links between Mr. Hasse’s killing and the death of Tom Clements, the Colorado state prisons chief, who was shot and killed two weeks ago at his home in Monument, Colo., near Colorado Springs.

 

The suspect in Mr. Clements’s killing, Evan S. Ebel, 28, died after a shootout and high-speed chase with Texas law enforcement officers and sheriff’s deputies in Wise County, northwest of Dallas, on March 21. There were a number reports that Mr. Ebel had joined a white-supremacist gang known as the 211 Crew while he was in a Colorado prison, but the authorities said they were still investigating any possible links.

 

Officials in Colorado Springs who have been investigating Mr. Clements’s killing spoke on Sunday with investigators in Texas, but Paula Presley, the undersheriff in El Paso County, Colo., said it was still too early to say whether there were any connections between the killings. She said that Mr. McLelland’s killing was “very, very concerning” and that it had raised an already heightened sense of alert in Colorado.

 

Mr. McLelland was a 23-year veteran of the Army who served in the first Iraq war, according to a biography on the Web site of the Kaufman County district attorney’s office. He also worked as a diagnostic psychologist for Texas government agencies.

 

He served for 18 years as a criminal defense attorney and special prosecutor for the Department of Family and Protective Services. He and his wife had five children, including one son who is a Dallas police officer.

 

 

Thanks to The New York Times for this report.

 

 

Guess what….law enforcement sources say the weapon used in this assassination of the District Attorney & his wife was an AR-15. An assault weapon. Assault weapons are useful for one thing only…..killing humans.

 

 

How Many People Have Been Killed by Guns Since Newtown?

Answer is: 3,164 humans have dies since Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14th, 2012.

That’s Three Thousand One Hundred & Sixth Four human lives erased in the 107 days since the Newtown, Connecticut massacre.

Kaufman County Assistant DA Gunned Down In Broad Daylight Outside County Courthouse

Updated today at 6:09 PM

Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was shot dead outside the courthouse Thursday, spurring a complete lockdown of the grounds and an active search for the two shooters.

 

Kaufman County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Pat Laney said the suspects ambushed the assistant DA on his way in to court and shot him multiple times in a parking lot at about 8:50 a.m. They then fled the scene. The courthouse was locked down and later closed for the day.

 

As of 3:30 p.m., there’s been no arrest. During an afternoon press conference, Kaufman County Sheriff David Burns, District Attorney Mike McLellan and Police Chief Chris Albaugh begged the public for any information that could identify those responsible.

 

“We’re very confident that we’re going to find you, we’re going to pull you out of whatever hole you’re in, we’re going to bring you back and we’re going to let the people of Kaufman County prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” McLellan said.

 

Hasse, a longtime prosecutor for the Dallas County District Attorney‘s Office and current assistant DA for Kaufman County, is the man who was shot and killed, the Sheriff’s Office confirmed. He was a felony prosecutor who headed murder and drug cases.

 

Hasse joined the Kaufman County District Attorney’s Office in July 2010, records show.

 

“Mark was really a great guy, he was the consummate prosecutor, he was hard-working, loved his job, and juries loved him for some reason,” said Dallas attorney Ted Steinke, who oversaw Hasse in the Dallas County DA’s Office. “He wasn’t very large in stature, but juries loved him and he exuded confidence.”

 

Kaufman County Judge Bruce Wood told News 8′s Jonathan Betz that he was not working on any high-profile cases that required any extra security. Investigators are following up on his caseload, however.

 

However, hours after Hasse was gunned down, the Department of Justice issued a release on its website crediting the Kaufman County District Attorney’s Office with helping investigate two known members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas gang. They pleaded guilty the day of the shooting to racketeering charges.

 

Before the release was issued, The Dallas Morning Newscredited “authorities with knowledge of the assistant DA’s caseload” as saying he was “heavily involved” in an investigation of the Aryan Brotherhood. According to the release, Ben Christian Dillon, aka “Tuff”, of Houston, and James Marshall Meldrum, aka “Dirty”, of Dallas, both “agreed to commit multiple acts of murder, robbery, arson, kidnapping and narcotics tracking” for the Aryan Brotherhood.

 

During the press conference, Burns and Albaugh each warned against speculation, saying they are both following “several” leads.

 

“Due to the nature of them, we can’t discuss them,” Albaugh said. “As soon as we’re able to, we’d be be glad to help you.”

 

Earlier, Wood  classified Hasse’s shooting as an “ambush” and told Betz that courthouse security is always tight, but not in the parking lot.

 

“It’s a scary deal,” Steinke said. ”Every prosecutor every once in a while gets a death threat, and we take them seriously, but this is the first time in 20 years that I can remember here in North Texas a prosecutor actually being assaulted.”

 

During a press conference, Sheriff David Burns and Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh said Hasse was heading to misdemeanor court when he was assaulted and gunned down.

 

“When you get up into the level, you are really attacking society as a whole because our whole society is based on our criminal justice system and getting our day in court,” Burns said. “This is not how to handle our business.”

 

The Texas Department of Public Safety sent out an alert for troopers to be on lookout for a silver “older model” Ford Taurus. According to the alert, the two suspects are wearing all black and at least one is in a tactical vest. DPS choppers are flying low over the treeline in north Kaufman.

 

Kaufman County Crime Stoppers issued a reward that quickly swelled to $30,000 Thursday afternoon for information leading to who is responsible. To submit an anonymous tip, you’re asked to call 817-847-7522. 

 

Kaufman Independent School District Superintendent Todd Williams said all schools in the district are also locked down as authorities search for the shooters. Forney ISD spokesman Larry Coker said all schools have been ordered to lock their doors until the suspects are caught. Administrators will reevaluate the plan at 2 p.m.

 

Forney is about 22 miles northwest of Kaufman.

 

“This is a crime, as our county judge said, that is against the very basis of our fabric,” McLellan said. “As far as I know, this has never been done before.”

 

In an email sent to staff Thursday morning, the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office confirmed the victim was a prosecutor and was fatally shot.

 

Below is the entire email sent by the Dallas County DA:

“This message is not intended to scare anyone but please be advised. A Kaufman County prosecutor was fatally shot a few minutes ago outside the Kaufman County Courthouse in Kaufman. Two masked gunman are the suspects. They have not been apprehended yet.

Please be aware of your surroundings when leaving the building for your safety. This is probably a isolated incident but until further notice if you plan to work past dark today please be careful and ask security for assistance escorting you to your vehicles if needed. I will keep you informed as to the arrest of the suspects when i am notified. Don’t panic but please be aware of your environment when leaving the building.”

 

Employees at businesses nearby say they’ve seen heavy police activity and heard reports of the shooting. Cathy Coulson, a real estate agent at Re/Max across from the courthouse, said she was not at work when the shooting happened, but reported seeing police helicopters searching overhead.

 

“I didn’t hear anything, I came into my office right after it happened, but I talked to one of my clients that’s two blocks behind us and he said that he heard it,” Coulson said, adding that she’s seen police walking the streets. “They don’t have time to come tell us to lock down, we have enough sense to do that; we’ve seen them going around and the helicopters.”

 

Tonya Ratcliff, a clerk at The Kaufman County Tax Office located to the right of the courthouse, said officers came inside and asked them to lock their doors.

 

Kaufman is a town of 7,000 about 30 miles east of Dallas.
