A nonprofit organization that works with the families, Sandy Hook Promise, said that after Obama´s speech on gun control in Hartford, he is flying with relatives of seven children and one staffer killed during December´s massacre at the school.

Essentially, yes. Most of the commenters on news sites about this are just as outraged as we are.

Unemployment and the fall of the dollar seem more important than this politically motivated gun control.

This guy cares about ONE THING, and ONE THING ONLY.

Banning guns.

NOTHING else matters to Obama.

North Korea detonating nukes on Japan? Phhht.

The economy still in the tank? GOOD!

Europe in economic freefall? Ha. Who cares.

Government after government falling to the Muslim Brotherhood? Well, perfect!

No budget agreement? No worries, just blame Republicans.

GUN CONTROL, now THAT is the important issue.

The NRA warned us.

For Obama’s speech it would have been more appropriate to fly in a troupe of Hollywood actors to portray Sandy Hook survivors.

11 Brady and Gifford wannabee’s Getting a free trip on Air Force One instead of grieving in peace.

They wany to be seen fine. Call it like it is. They are eating up the celebrity of being parents of victims.

They should be ashamed of themselves for allowing themselves to be used by the Usurper,community service Mother lover.

No twit, it’s a euphemism. They use, proclaim, hightlight the death of someone and/or the family of a dead person over and over again for political purpose. That is also what muslims do when they actually parade the corpses and then show the footage or pictures over and over.

I think Obama has been all over Newtown like white on rice since the very same afternoon, ...

0bama was on national TV demagoguing gun control before the ME was even

What about the victims at Ft. Hood? Were their families flown anywhere?

Is it LEGAL to fly these family members on AF1 for non-essential government business?

Someone REALLY has to put the brakes on this crap!!!!

How succinctly put. The difference between free men and parasites is revealed when both are subject to tragedy. Your name is truly deserved.

How come Republicans can't fly eleven victims of urban thug violence to Washington DC to call for a National Concealed Carry Statute?

Don't answer that - just posing the question might make Boehner cry. :)

It would be less expensive to fly each of those family members to D.C. on a commercial flight that is already scheduled to be spewing carbon. Why are the taxpayers expected to pay for his kabuki theater?

I wonder if Obama ever feels any shame about exploiting tragedy and theses emotionally wrecked relatives as ruthlessly as he does?

PATHETIC....do you know how MANY parents would KILL their children, and HAVE, to fly on AF One!! This is a SICk Payoff. I feel for these parents but they are easily swayed.

Any means is permissible to reach utopia. That’s how Leftists can act, seemingly without conscience or basic human decency.
