Consoler-in-Chief

AP: Once again donning the mantle of consoler-in-chief, President Barack Obama will travel Sunday to Colorado to comfort distraught families of those gunned down in a minute and a half of real-life horror at a midnight movie showing.

While authorities gather evidence on the suspect and the nation tries to fathom what drove the gunman, Obama will meet with loved ones struggling with pain and grief.

The president planned just a brief visit to Colorado — a bit under 2½ hours — during which he was also scheduled to meet with local officials in Aurora, where the shots rang out at a multiplex theater early Friday. Twelve of the victims died, 58 were injured.

After the Colorado stop, Obama is flying to San Francisco, where on Monday he’ll begin a previously scheduled three-day campaign trip….
