David Jacques, the publisher of the Roseburg Beacon in Roseburg, Oregon, where a maniac killed nine Umpqua College students and teachers last Thursday, issued a bombshell statement about Obamas upcoming visit to the devastated community.
I think the president will not be welcomed into the community and that is not just my opinion, Jacques told FOXs Bill OReilly.
Jacques and other community leaders just dont want Obama coming to their town pushing his gun confiscation agenda.
Well I think the president will not be welcomed into the community. And that is not just my opinion. We talked to dozens upon dozens of citizens, some family members of the victims, our elected officials. And you may have a copy, if you dont Id be glad to read from it on the air that our Douglas County commissioners along with our Douglas County sheriff, who is very popular, and our chief of police all came to consensus language about him not being welcome here to grandstand for political purposes.
He says that many people in the community were extremely offended when Obama held a press conference pushing for more gun control hours after the shooting, before residents had even finished counting the bodies on the campus.
He added, So now he [Obama] wants to come to our community and stand on the corpses of our loved ones to make some kind of a political point, and it isnt going to be well-received.
Conservative Tribune adds:
Nor will he likely be well received by Bonnie Schaan, the mother of victim Cheyenne Fitzgerald, who was shot in the back during the incident but survived.
America, we need to pack guns if this is what its coming to to have to protect ourselves, she said during an interview with NBC.
It sounds like nobody in Roseburg wants President Obama to show up there, because like the rest of us, they recognize that Obama is only interested in scoring political points.
When it comes to the actual victims and their families, well
theyre just collateral damage to him.
Obama never came here to Chattanooga...

The people of Roseburg are courageous!
Obama has a few more days to bring on the fake tears and the fake look of sadness on his face then he can go back to the White House and do a happy dance..I hope the good people of Roseburg BOO the hell out of that Commie Clown
Ruh Roh.. Someone’s going get HEAVILY audited by the IRS.
Why do you think that is?
We found some adults! And they hace taken charge of the situation!
There is hope for this nation!
As dumb as O is, he knows what and where he can get away with things.
Well you know the airport has ‘pot holes’ that need to be fixed, will be closed for at least 3 weeks....
The roads into and out of town are closed, there’s ‘aliens’ coming.....
Get a big sign made up that says, “NO OBAMA ZONE”. Make it big enough to cover the size of semi trailer. Post pictures were it will go viral.
They should tell him to go to Chicago!
If he even tries to show up the entire town should turn out and egg his motorcade. And while they are at it they can barricade the roads.
block the airport runway with vehicles and have all the cops call in sick
Hopefully the turkey goes and people greet him signs lining the streets saying “Gun Grabbers Not Welcome Here.”

2000 people shot in Chicago THIS YEAR where gun laws are disarming the innocent but no visit there?
Tell every cop, fireman and public employee to take the day off when he visits.
Would be fun watching Obrainless’ secret service detail trying to arrange everything.
Good for them!!! Stand your ground, Roseburg, and refuse to be used.
Who would you trust more? Armed citizens looking out for their best interest, or Obama as President of disarmed citizens.
State it plainly, Zer0: this debate is not about guns, it is about our distrust of YOU and your ilk.
