A visibly infuriated President Barack Obama surrounded himself with tear-stained parents of Connecticut school shooting victims Wednesday after the Senate voted down a measure designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and declared it a "pretty shameful day for Washington."
The Senate, which is controlled by the president's own party, handed him a stinging first defeat for his second term by voting down a bipartisan compromise to expand background checks for gun buyers. The disappointment was all over the faces of Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, their mouths turned into deep frowns as they appeared in the Rose Garden shortly after the vote.
Obama vowed that the vote would not end his fight for stricter gun laws and was "just round one." But it's unclear where the White House and its allies on guns can go from here, after the Senate sunk their best hope.

Obama:
We’re here
We cheer
Don’t ask to share damn beer.
You lost
It cost
Kick the frost...
Possibly true. People frequently have more than one motivation for doing things, but I can't get inside their thought processes nor would I want to. Just judging their actions, I find their actions to be despicable.
Furthermore, not all of the parents of the slain children are doing this. Some are saying (and try to find this in the media) that none of the gun restrictions that the cryers for hire are touting with the jug eared narcissistic POS would have made any difference in what happened in Newtown. I heard this on the radio yesterday morning - not the description of the turd in the white house - the other thing.

“..Just judging their actions, I find their actions to be despicable...”
On the face of it, yes, absolutely agree. And it very well could be that some of them are Dems first, everything else second. Look at Elizabeth Edwards, dying from cancer, and using the sympathy angle that situation created to try and get her dirtbag husband elected POTUS - until the Girlfriend with Love Child came to light and exposed him for the POS that he is.
Lautenberg is another one; this old POS dragged his ass away from the hospital chemo to vote FOR taking away guns. And somehow, that’s “bravery”...
Grief affects different people in a multitude of ways. I’d like to hope - and believe - that these families are just thrashing out.
I did hear the one father from Newtown make that statement - that nothing they are trying to pass would have stopped that kid from murdering his mother and killing all those children. Talk radio had him on a couple times. That’s the only place you’ll hear it, or maybe Fox as well.
Who is paying the expense of parading the victims of the Connecticut massacre around to Obama photo ops? Is there any rational person, who respects personal liberty, who does not find these staged photo ops to be utterly repulsive?

That is DC code for "Back on the road with Reggie." Remember that kid's book, "Where's Waldo?" Ya wanna know wassup? Just ask, "Where's Reggie?"
I feels a short (long weekend, no more than $500,000 + Transportation for the entourage and Secret Service of course) "separate vacation" coming up for Michelle.
No cry Barry. Reggie make boo-boo go bye-bye.
So the fascists thought that first political defensive line to protect the Second Amendment was tough, but that line was formed on very short notice.

I think he’s inciting violence against Republicans with his constant blame and attacks. Someone needs to call him on it. He’s such an immature punk.
Well; if Anyone should know who is lying; it is Obama!
Look at all the things HE said about 'Affordable' Health Care!
Heck; we can't even get some FR folks to expose 'lies' and 'distortions' that they claim to have seen!
I’d suggest to EVERYone in the picture that THEY should get a weapon and learn how to use it; for NO one is able to ‘protest’ them.

You are wrong!
You've accepted the MEDIA's limited exposure of them in the 'news'.
The 'bulk' that I know are fine, outstanding citizens who have had their culture DECIMATED by Liberalism!
But he has always been and always will be a LAME F*CK!
No, I'm not.
"You've accepted the MEDIA's limited exposure of them in the 'news'."
I accept nothing that the Misleadia spews, and base all my comments on personal observation, remarkable deductive prowess, and a 160+ I.Q. Guess again, namesake of the Borden bovine.
"The 'bulk' that I know are fine, outstanding citizens who have had their culture DECIMATED by Liberalism!"
I submit that you do not know "the bulk" of the tens-of-millions of inner-city blacks in America to whom I refer in my Op-ed-like rant. I'll forgive you your flowery mischaracterization, but not your ignorant, ill-based assumptions regarding myself or these slovenly, violent "Knockout King," store-swarming "Flash Mob," felonious pack animals, who deserve aught but to be obliterated like the slavering, feral pack-dog animals that they are.
Sleep well, LC.
;-\
Now I ask you: is this any way for such a smart person to be?
Have you paid any money to Mensa?
Oh; I don't disagree with this at all.
I was merely reacting to the BULK characterization you made.
So, obama is “bitterly clinging” to his gun control agenda.
“Obama is a mean vindictive and I do believe a corrupt man .”

The only thing surprising is that some idiots don’t agree with that statement. As far as I am concerned it is like saying the Sun rises in the East, how could anyone argue with that?
