WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama said on Thursday that he will not campaign for Democrats who don’t back gun reforms, part of his effort to make tougher gun laws a cause in the November 2016 presidential and congressional elections.
“I will not campaign for, vote for or support any candidate, even in my own party, who does not support common-sense gun reform,†Obama wrote in an op-ed column in the New York Times.
“All of us need to demand leaders brave enough to stand up to the gun lobby’s lies,†Obama wrote. “All of us need to demand that governors, mayors and our representatives in Congress do their part.â€

IIRC the folks he stumped for all lost.
Guns are objects. They have no soul. You can’t reform them.
Spoken like a true narcissist.
are there any competitive districts where gun control would be a plus?
..All of us need to demand leaders brave enough to stand up to the gun lobby’s lies,†...
No, Zero. We demand leaders brave enough to stand up to your lies.
“Common sense” gun control is code for doing something that will have absolutely no effect on gun violence just to make some liberals feel good about themselves.
It’s not polite to gun grab.
Hussein...isn’t wanted to stump for anyone.
I can’t imagine any Rat who isn’t a gun grabber, so this statement means zip.
Well, if he will not campaign for them, they may not be a total left wing wacko.
He is responsible for some 900 democrat seats being lost so far.
That’s so limiting for the psycho!
Reform number one: repeal ALL laws, regulations, and “executive orders” (barf!) that in any way impair American citizens’ rights to keep and bear arms.
Hussein played golf for two weeks right before the last RAT wipeout. He'll be kryptonite this time as well.
It is time for Conservatives to stop using the word “Reform.”
Reform is a “good-sounding” word. It sounds “nice.” It implies change for the better. In reality, Obama’s “reforms” have been destructive the the U.S.
Health Care Reform was really the destruction of the American health care system. Immigration Reform was really the removal of all borders and amnesty for illegals. Voter Registration Reform was allowing Dems to stuff the ballot box.
This isn’t “gun reform.” It’s the “Obama plan to leave Americans defenseless” program.
What an empty promise - Is anyone requesting his help?? Doubtful..........
It sounds like the Kenyan has figured out he can’t get radical Islam established in America with an armed American behind every tree.
I’m quite certain there are a number of very relieved demoncrats tonight.
