Hillary Was Right: Obama’s Inexperience Sank Gun Deal
The Daily Beast ^ | April 19, 2013 | Stuart Stevens

Posted on 04/20/2013 5:24:47 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

She told us so? The debacle on background checks fully exposed the president’s flawed leadership, which his Democratic rival warned voters about back in 2008.

If you ever need a refresher course in just how disconnected Barack Obama is from America’s mainstream culture of guns, consider this scathing indictment:

“You know, Americans who believe in the Second Amendment believe it’s a matter of constitutional right ... I disagree with Senator Obama’s assertion that people in this country ‘cling to guns’ ... People of all walks of life hunt—and they enjoy doing so because it’s an important part of their life, not because they are bitter.”

Is that Wayne LaPierre unloading on the president? Nope. It’s Hillary Clinton back in 2008 after then-senator Barack Obama’s famous reference to small-town Americans “clinging to guns and religion.” And just in case anyone missed her larger point about Obama, she went on to call the remarks “elitist and divisive.”

Hillary wasn’t my candidate, but after the president’s multiple failures to pass gun legislation capped by his Rose Garden performance, all of Hillary World can be forgiven for exhaling a loud, cathartic “I told you so.”(continued)

He says that like it's a bad thing. And it's NOT ABOUT HUNTING, you leftist morons.

If Hillary wins the White House in 2016 I'm heading overseas somehow.

Hillary certainly looks like the winner right now.

But remember, back in Jan 2008, who would have bet money that a guy named Baraq Hussein would be inaugurated POTUS just a year later.

It was not his lack of experience, it was our abundance of experience. We beat him because we fought harder, smarter, and better. In short, we kicked a55. I wouldn’t go underestimating Obama at this point. That’s my 2 cents anyways.

People also don't remember that she lost to Obama because she didn't run an effective campaign, because she is not a good manager or leader. She is a celebrity, nothing more. When you really think about her, she has shown no evidence of being able to effective lead groups of people to accomplish anything.

What sank the “gun deal” was the America people and their support of the US Constitution..

I agree with your assessment of Hillary as a sub-par hack. Perhaps the most over-rated figure in modern political life.

However I also believe (based on comments of wise FReepers) that she was blackmailed over Arkancide by the Chicago political mob. And was thus prevented from using the vaunted Clinton private investigation team (Palladino & Sutherland) to dig up the scoop on Baraq.

O-Hole is going to “screw over” Hillary a second time. Moochie will be the rat candidate.

Obama knows nothing about getting anything passed. His leadership skills are confined to inciting a mob.

I don’t think so, but what do I know.

I see Hillary taking out Biden and Cuomo early, and coasting to the nomination.

Then again I predicted the Tea Party would run a candidate against Romney in 40 states, but he was so lame he lost to Baraq in a straight up 2-way race...

Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet can make a gourmet steak dinner from an old boot, but it never hurts to have another good cook on hand.

I am surprised more people don’t see the obvious.... the MSM cheering of Hillary Clinton will only increase leading up to 2016 until they all but promise us that she is the progressive anti-Obama that “understands us.”

This has little to do with the gun issue and everything to do with rehabilitating the progressives best chance to win in 2016 - an election that will be challenging based on history. Many democrat strategists also predict major problems and a backlash over Obamacare in 2016.

Just my .02, but get used to the media loving on Hillary in just about every semi-critical article of Obama. Hillary is about to have a made for television make-over of epic proportions.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
"You know, Americans who believe in the Second Amendment believe it’s a matter of constitutional right ... I disagree with Senator Obama’s assertion that people in this country ‘cling to guns’ ... People of all walks of life hunt -- and they enjoy doing so because it’s an important part of their life, not because they are bitter."
More crap -- she equated the 2nd Amendment with hunting. She's just another gun-grabbing limo lib demagogue.

Shut up, Hillary, you psychotic bag lady.

The constitution is what stopped it.

The right to bear arms is the right of American citizens.

We do not need tyrants like you and your ex boss at all.

You and your ilk are parasites.
