Offering his thoughts on Tuesday’s With All Due Respect concerning President Obama announcing his executive actions on gun control, Bloomberg TV/MSNBC analyst Mark Halperin declared that he was “touched by” the President’s tears and was “proud of his ability to show” his emotions on something that’s “a national crisis that needs to be addressed.”

Co-host John Heilemann observed to Halperin following clips of the President’s speech hours earlier that Obama “exhibit[ed] great emotion and determination there” and then asked if “you think he actually could get done in his last year in office on this issue?”
