President Obama gave the Senate a scolding in the Rose Garden this afternoon, declaring todays defeat of the Manchin-Toomey background check amendment a pretty shameful day for Washington. He blamed politics for the failure of the legislation and, while standing alongside Gabby Giffords and tearful Newtown families, dismissed charges that he had used people as props for emotional blackmail.
...talking to the mirror again...
1/3 of the Senate is up for re-election in 2014. No one wants to answer to a lame duck caller and become clay pigeons.
What bothers me the most is the reporting about the Newtown parents ‘traveling’ to Washington for this vote (and this was said on Fox News)...Weren’t they brought here by Obama??
Someone tell me where I am wrong. The second amendment is part of the US Constitution. Any changes or amendments to the constitution must be approved by a two thirds majority of the states. Congress has no legal authority to do any thing else.
What a disgusting charlatan! Why would any sane person truck mourners in to be displayed like circus monkeys at his photo ops? He has no shame and not a shred of a sense of propriety.
Glad to hear someone else feels as I do about Fox.
You’re getting the hang of it. Practice makes perfect.
The beauty of my grammar rule is that you don’t even have to have a preposition in order to use it. It almost takes the place of the useless period.
And the State Run Media won't talk about it........
Bronco Bama, America's first affirmative action President, is discovering for the very first time in four years how the Constitution works! The Senate is not his upper management! The House is not his lower management! We are not his subjects! Sure, campaigning is fun, but governing is hard!
He's having a meltdown for these reasons, and also because it's been more than 4 weeks since a vacay...
Just watch: after tonight's Senate fail, in a fit of pique, he'll make them pay their way back home.
The little black prince was put down. The props from Newton and goofy giffords were for naught. He can’t control his temper.
He stares failure in the face.
Grab the popcorn.
Let’s see what Obummer does next, after getting handed a sharp defeat on his favorite emotional issue.
Time for a ridiculous “Executive Order” or will FBI/ATF/DHS/DOJ pass some silly new regulations to accomplish his ultimate goal?
Background check laws already exist. The problem is the American voter who keeps trading safety for freedom by re-electing the same unconstitutional retreads. If America wants a Constitutional gov’t, elect Constitutional leaders. If you want to take my gun away, take me to court were I am afforded discovery and due process. The majority of voters throw away their rights because of a mistaken belief that filling out paperwork and waiting x days is a reasonable solution to getting a gun. Where is the discovery and due process when there is voluntary information you provide to a bureaucracy that could give two craps about the Constitution. The gov’t has no reason to have this information in the first place because there has been no crime committed. Notice that criminals just go get the gun and have more freedom than you.
He lied in his news conference hug fest, I care, spit up fest that 95 percent of Americans want the hags gun confiscation bill
Agree 100%.
And he got flushed at step one.
We're whooping it up. Hear that Zero? We're CELEBRATING your DEFEAT! Why don't you go on TV and cry some more?
