And it&#8217;s heart-breaking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Besser asked Obama about the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School and how his administration failed to galvanize lawmakers to pass gun control in the wake of that tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, those two or three days after the Sandy Hook shooting are some of the worst days of my presidency because I met those families right after,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;And you&#8217;re talking about 6-year-olds who were just systematically murdered.
