Ted Cruz: “Radical” Obama “Seeks To Tear Us Apart” With Comments On Oregon Shooting
BuzzFeed News ^ | October 2, 2015 | Andrew Kaczynski and Mark Arce

“…they try to use these tragedies as an excuse to come after the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. It’s unconstitutional, it’s cynical, and it’s wrong.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Thursday criticized President Obama for the comments he made following the mass shooting in Oregon that left 10 people dead.

“Well, unfortunately that is the approach with President Obama on every issue, is that he seeks to tear us apart, he seeks to politicize it and it’s worth remembering he is ideological and he’s a radical,” Cruz stated on the Mark Levin Show. “You know, as his former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel said, ‘you never let a good crisis go to waste’ and that sadly is his approach.”

Speaking from the White House briefing room on Thursday, the president called the latest mass shooting at a small community college in Oregon “a political choice” that the country allows to happen again and again. The president, in comments directed at the gun lobby, added “this is something we should politicize.”’

Cruz said Obama would use the tragedy as excuse to take away guns from law-abiding Americans.

“We ought to first of all be lifting up in prayer the families of those who lost their loved ones today to this horrific crime, we still don’t know the details of what exactly happened or what the motivations were, but what is clear is that every time we see a shooting of this kind, we’ve seen people with significant mental illnesses, with people who are violent criminals and there is no doubt that we ought to come down on violent criminals like a ton of bricks,” said Cruz.

“We ought to do everything we can, for example, to be prosecuting the felons and fugitives who are trying to illegally buy guns. The Obama administration doesn’t do that. Instead they try to use these tragedies as an excuse to come after the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens. It’s unconstitutional, it’s cynical, and it’s wrong.”

The bodies had not even attained room temperature and Obama is already going totally political in his speech. Worst President ever.

I’ve never heard such distorted nonsense as the pResdient’s comments on the Roseburg tragedy. There is a narrative available that fits this event, but the left dare not speak its name.

“The bodies had not even attained room temperature and Obama is already going totally political in his speech. Worst President ever.”

It would be great if a Republican would say something close to that, something like: “You’d think the President would at least wait until the bodies cooled down before trying to politicize this killing, but I guess he’s in a hurry these days.”

“The politics has to change. And the people who are troubled by this have to be as intense, and as organized, and as adamant about this issue as folks on the other side who are absolutists and think that any gun safety measures are somehow an assault on freedom or Communistic. Or a plot by me to take over and stay in power forever or something....”

BOL and a scary comment at the same time.

Maybe we need to try and identify the Hellspawn genome or the bad seed genome.

Obamanation lies and peoples die. From another article today concerning the shooting in Oregan by the liberal shooter Chris Harper Mercer

[The Federal Security Services (FSB) is reporting today that an American black-Islamist terror suspect, who yesterday committed an act of mass murder in the State of Oregon (United States), had been included on a list of 87,000 “known/suspected” Islamic terrorists that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) refused last month to accept from the Federation due to its not being “politically viable in the present atmosphere”.
According to this report, the black-Islamist terrorist who committed this act of terror, Chris Harper Mercer, had previously been indentified by electronic intelligence specialists within the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) as being an Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) adherent after he had attempted to gain passage to Syria via Turkey during the first week of September, 2015.
By the Obama regime refusing to accept this terror list from the Federation, this report continues, Mercer was able to accomplish his terror act when yesterday he killed 9 people and wounded 7 others at the Umpqua Community College prior to his being shot and killed by local US police forces.]
