A rare moment of journalism coming out of the White House briefing room...

Someone is getting coal in their stocking.

“””Obama responded sharply, insisting that he’d been too busy “be[ing] president” to focus on his gun control platform.”””

Funny stuff. The election is over, time to go full dictator.

Obama is for getting “Military style weapons” off the streets yet his OWN Administration gave guns to drug cartels who ended up murdering hundreds of people..Hey Obama, maybe you should look in the mirror, you have more blood on your hands than any mass murderer ever could

My take on this is that if he were serious about gun-control - in making a real difference and substantively TAKING guns away from law-abiding citizens, he would have put someone who actually had a functioning brain in charge of the “gun-question forum” he’s tapped Plugs Biden on heading.

He would actually detour his financial tax tyranny into taking guns? Where does this get him the money he needs to sustain the leeches who put him where he is? Free publicity and good feelings. He isn’t running for President any more. His ideology is one of redistribution, and he can’t get that diverting national attention to a fight that may well end up in a guaranteed civil war if they try to go too far.

...Obama responded sharply...

It was the only time during the Q&A that he seemed focused.

“Well, here’s where I’ve been, Jake,” Obama replied. “I’ve been president of the United States dealing with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, an auto industry on the verge of collapse, two wars. I don’t think I’ve been on vacation. And so, you know, I think all of us have to do some reflection on how we prioritize what we do here in Washington.”

On the other hand, we know he hasn't been attending very many security briefings.

What a stone cold putz this guy is.

The 2014 elections matter more than the 2012 elections did, as recent events show.

I thought there was an outside shot that he would issue an executive order and move for confiscation - but he is instead pressuring Congress.

If Boehner gives an inch on this nonsense he needs to get primaried.

He was waiting for his Overton Window opportunity.

“I don’t think I’ve been on vacation.”
Say what?
That’s not what the AF One flight plans would reflect!

well, at least the question was about the president’s favorite subject; himself.

Obama is just taking advantage of the moment. I’m devastated by the death of these children, but I’m not using it as an opportunity to get more gun control laws.

Assault weapons definition: all firearms.

I think that the crisis that the "progressives" can't afford to overlook -- and one that Lincoln talked about in 1854 -- is here. Abe will explain from "the other side."

If you could first know where you are and whither you are tending, you could better judge what to do and how to do it. You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

The question today is either the opponents of statism will arrest the further spread of it and place it on course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become permanent.

Have you no tendency to the latter condition?

Let anyone who doubts carefully contemplate that now almost complete legal combination — piece of machinery, so to speak — compounded of the Republican Party hands-across-the-aisle doctrine and the dreadful actions among statism's chief architects.

Well... don’t forget Tapper is merely lecturing Obama for being insufficiently far-left liberal enough on gun control.

This wasn’t journalism, but a locker room pep talk during halftime.

Tapper to Obama on newly-found gun control advocacy: 'Where have you been?' (Video)

Being literate, I don't do videos, but I am very familiar with the ignorance tsunami as the result of the CT mass killings.

All I can say in reaction to this thread is...

Mr. Tapper, where have YOU been?
Until you can formulate a cogent response to the following established and known facts and statistics, please just STFU!

Gun Facts

Was Obama fast and furious in his response?
