We have breaking developments in the mass killing in Georgia. One man is accused of killing eight people. He's also the one who called 911 pleading for help. Plus, presidential lesson or pure propaganda? More uproar over Pres. Obama's speech to school children next week.

Good night Erica and friends!
A great weekend for us…
Good night David!
Next Monday, in Brazil, is Brazilian Independence Day. 🙂
Anderson, Dr. Gupta, Michael Ware and Peter Bergen,
Be safe on the journey through Afghanistan!!
See you Monday!
@Isabel, does seem like a lot of controversy.
Pancakey?
She definitely has a sense of humor. Lucky guy.
Good night Isabel, good night everyone. Great weekend to all
I could see myself doing something like that (laughing). I think they should have done more homework when interviewing potential officiants.
I enjoyed the broadcast Erica. Thank you.
When this happened this compulsion to laugh in me is insane! Nothing makes me to laugh ... like her! Lol ...
David, I love you but I have to disagree with you. I have a seventeen year old and I think it's a great idea for my seventeen year old to think about what he can do to help the President. To me it might make my son have a deeper sense of responsibility.
My problem with CNN is that you put too much into these types of stories. I read a story about a school in Indiana that has 1800 students and only 14 parents called to complained. Why not report on school districts that are allowing students to watch the speech. Orleans Parish is making it mandatory for students to watch the speech. At least make the reporting bias and show both sides.
Thank you Erica, as always you fill the big chair well. Thank you Team 360 and good night too.
Good night fellow bloggers, again TGIF!
The Shot: Priceless! You always leave us laughing too.
Happy Aniversary to Tom Foreman!
Loved that Shot! Haha.
Have a great weekend, all. Thanks for filling in, Erica!
Samuel M'boro, TN

Good night Anderson, Erica, Ed Henry, David Gergen and my friends Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!
Have a great night and sleep tight everyone!!!!
Have a great weekend!
See you on Monday night!
Don't forge watch AC next week!!!!!!
Awwwwwww!!!! Nice shot! I love bride giggles so much!!!!!!! I love shot! LOL!
@DavidGergen: Thanks for your usual calm and rational response to this "non-issue" about the President's speech to students. Gone are the "Good Old Days" when everyone respected the President, and no matter his party, he was Everyone's President, and we were proud of him !
I guess only us "Old Guys" recall those days ?
Good weekend to All! Erica great is see you in charge tonight!
Good Night! Have a wonderful weekend to everyone!!! Yea, TGIF
On behalf of 360°, thank you for joining us – be sure to tune in on Monday for our special week in Afghanistan! Have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
Have a good weekend everyone!
But some diseases do not rear their 'ugly head' until a later date.
gn Erica and team360 and fellow bloggers! looking forward to Monday with Anderson and team from Afghanistan
Although I still largely support the war in Afghanistan, I'm a little apprehensive. I believe we need to be where the terrorists are operating, and obviously that's just not in Afghanistan. We also need to be looking at other techniques of combating terrorism, including intelligence and helping countries improve social and economic conditions were young people join terrorist organizations.
I can't understand why Americans are making too much noise about president Obama's school speech. In fact, Americans are stupid. A nation full of hypocrisy and racism. Honestly, I feel very sorry for this country.
@Randy, if there is more health care competition, the price would drop and more people could afford it WITHOUT the government running it.
