Barack Obama’s rage — whether it’s real or playacting, I’m undecided — continues. Today Organizing for Action’s Jon Carson sent an email to the group’s vast mailing list. It begins with a lie, saying “Yesterday, 45 senators chose to ignore their constituents and stand with the gun lobby.”‘
Obama is allowing for no possibility that any of the senators who opposed the background check amendment were acting in accord with their constituents. None.
The email continues: “And because of Senate rules, this minority was able to stand in the way of a bipartisan measure to expand background checks for gun sales.”
That line is probably a set-up for one of two following moves. One, Democrats will push to jettison the Senate filibuster, aka the so-called “nuclear option.” Or two, Obama will implement some form of background check expansion via executive order and dare anyone to stop him. Or, of course, he may try both. He will certainly make gun control a centerpiece of the Democrats’ campaign to re-take the House in 2014, which the “gun control lobby” surely welcomes. If he could not get this legislation through four months after Newtown, it will not be a resonant issue nearly two years after the tragedy. Unless, that is, Obama has another tragedy to exploit between now and then.
From that set-up line, the email moves on to exploiting the families grieving their loss.
“A lot of people are reading the headlines today and wondering how these senators had the nerve to get up there — right in front of victims’ families from Newtown — and cast that vote against something that more than 90 percent of Americans support. I’m one of them,” his email authors write.
Obama’s own hand-picked Newtown father admits that the background check expansion would not have saved his son. A lot of people are wondering how the president could so callously use vulnerable people at the worst moment in their lives, to push his pet cause.
In the email, OFA vows that “Yesterday was round one. We will keep fighting.”
The question is, is that a threat, or a scream borne of impotent rage?
Nope, no stickers .. do have a larger version tho that can be printed onto bumper sticker stock .. will PM you the link
one of the chilluns bought dad this tee shirt! Tis a beautiful thing!
0bama’s definitely playacting here. He can peddle his papers elsewhere, AFAIC.
Zero’s just peevish because all of his failed presidentin’ and current events have prevented him visiting Funkytown for some hot stuff with a boytoi.
His eternal parade of victims is losing its power. Too bad he wants nothing to do with the families of victims of illegal alien murderers and drunk drivers.
Hell, that is the Rats’ favorite ploy. “Never let a crisis go to waste” is their motto.
I like your graphic, but “kneel” is mis-spelled. You’ve got it as “knell.”
People, the commander in chief wants your guns!
He has shown his hand.
Total control is what the majority elected leader wants.
He wants total control.
Thanks so much. Gotta print that puppy and stick it my back window.
