President Barack Obama waves as he leaves the White House for Connecticut
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- President Barack Obama says the nation is failing to keep its children safe, and he's promising to do what he can to change that.
The president spoke at a memorial service in Newtown, Conn., for the victims of Friday's elementary school massacre that left 20 children and six women dead. The gunman, who also killed his mother, took his own life as police were arriving.
The president met with victims' families before addressing the evening memorial service. He was less than specific about what he would push for, but declared, "We have an obligation to try."
He closed his remarks by slowing reading aloud the first names of each of the 26 victims.
Privately, Obama told Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy that Friday was the most difficult day of his presidency.
