Obama Praises Gabby Giffords In Arizona

Quote from President Obama: "Let me say how happy I was to see one particular Arizonan last night -- Gabby Giffords. (Applause.) I was able to give her a big hug and just tell her we could not be happy -- more happy to see her. I mean, she just looked gorgeous last night. And she's been an inspiration. Her husband, Mark, has been just a great friend and a great public servant and a hero to so many of us. And Michelle and I are going to be thinking of her as she continues her recovery here in Arizona. And she loves this state and she loves all of you. So it was wonderful to see her. " Representative Giffords recently resigned from congress to focus on her recovery from an assassination attempt last year.
