Obama: Gun control filibuster 'not right'
POLITICO ^ | REID J. EPSTEIN

Posted on 04/08/2013 4:15:14 PM PDT by JohnPDuncan

President Obama will tell Senate Republicans it’s “not right” to filibuster his gun control agenda, according to excerpts of his the prepared remarks he will make Monday in Connecticut.

“Some back in Washington are already floating the idea that they might use political stunts to prevent votes on any of these reforms,” Obama will say, according to the remarks. “They’re not just saying they’ll vote ‘no’ on ideas that almost all Americans support. They’re saying they won’t allow any votes on them at all. They’re saying your opinion doesn’t matter. And that’s not right.”

Obama’s speech centering on the Capitol Hill machinations represents how much of the gun control debate has slipped away from him. He’s gone from making an impassioned case for a sweeping agenda to bemoaning Republicans’ ability to block even the smallest reform.

The Second Ammendment is the only real “check and balance” left to the citizenry.

Having a homosexual foreign-agent Moslem in the White Hut ain't right, either.

I own guns because socialists are mass murderers, and I will protect myself and my loved ones from the socialists’ designs on us.

Watch as the Democrats use this when Republicans are in Power. I pray for that day to come in 2014 and 2016.

When are we going to ban cars - when is all this carnage going to end? Each year close to 40,000 people are killed by auto accidents. What is omuslim going to do about that? How can we stand by and let this happen?

You can forget about that. In 2012 the Democrats finally perfected their stealing of elections. 2014 and if obama allows an election in 2016, the results will be a repeat of 2012.

Flying 8 Sandy Hookers back to Washington to lobby Congress to infringe upon our Second Amendment rights is “NOT RIGHT” either, Barry.

Silly AA (Affirmative Action) puppet.

The filibuster is “not right” when it is used by the left.

Obama's not happy. He doesn't have the votes to break the filibuster. He's screaming and yelling. He's whipping up the crowd into a partisan frenzy demanding a vote on the 2nd Amendment. He's trying every trick in the book. He's even flying in relatives of the dead Newtown kids to exploit their grief. Our answer? No. The 2nd Amendment is NOT up for a vote.

Zero is only doing what he promised in his two last campaigns - TRANSFORMING AMERICA. And he had absolutely no plans of doing that the way the founders set out in the Constitution.

"...orders from somebody.."

agreed. It is almost as if the media, FB troublemakers, Reddit homosexuals, and all other media forms get a fax from Moonbat Central detailing that days talking points, who to to attack, and who or what to sympathize with..

Um Obama?

How about you stop worrying about armed Americans, and start worrying about armed Koreans for a change?

And Armed Iranians. Armed Cubans. Armed Venezuelans. For that matter, armed Chinese, and even armed Russians.

For crying out loud.

Stop it. Now.
