Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.

All of America is shocked and so heartbroken over Kobe Bryant’s death. It’s an even tougher double blow to hear that his daughter Gigi was also on board the same helicopter.
President Obama is our moral Commander-in-chief during unimaginable heartbreaking times like this. Thank you, Mr. President, for helping us through this as a nation.

I am sorry for the loss of your friend Mr President. Just heartbreaking. He changed the world. Bless his family. WOW, and his 13 yr old girl.

Thank you for understanding that one of the roles of POTUS, past or present, is that you must know how to convey words of comfort in times of sadness. It is indeed comforting to know we may count on you when the person who should write something like this isn’t up to the task.
