With apologies to Charles Dickens, "It was the worst of Obama; it was the worst of Obama; it was the age of foolishness; it was the age of fury; it was the epoch of blame; it was the epoch of incredulity......"
Within the last week, we had horrific terrorist bombings at the Boston Marathon that called to mind the travails that Israel must endure; we had the explosion of a fertilizer plant in Waco, Texas that killed more than 60; we had ricin-poisoned letters being delivered to Obama and other lawmakers; and we had the defeat of a gun-control bill in the Senate.
Guess which one Obama got angry over?
I will present to you three videos, and you may draw your own conclusions:
- Obama reaction to Boston Marathon Terrorism ... you will note his demeanor is muted, there is no rage, he is reading from paperwork on podium, and he implies a caution against jumping to conclusions.
- The next day, Obama had Boston Marathon Terrorism 'Pep Rally and Sports Review. The demeanor was one of trying to get people enthused, and he dropped numerous sports references, in a manner much more reminiscent of a coach than a President.
- Now we come to the Obama reaction to the defeat of the Manchin-Toomey gun control bill. *HERE* he becomes spirited, defiant, animated, often frowning. Suddenly, there is NO reading from paperwork on podium. This speech comes from his heart.
If you have been paying attention at all since 2008, you already know which of these videos will show a passionate Obama: Obama only became infuriated when his gun control bill went down in flames.
He was not angry about terrorist bombings in Boston that killed and maimed many, no no! The Waco, Texas fertilizer plant explosion that killed many others did not even register on his radar! The ricin-poisoned letters that began showing up in Washington was scarcely even a minor concern to him!
No, the most important, vexing, infuriating development for Obama was the defeat in the attempt to lessen American freedoms.
He was furious. He condemned Congress, he blasted the NRA, there was a furious glint of near-homicidal rage in his eyes as he shouted and ranted, alternately threatening and pleading for the results he wanted -- the further gutting of the Second Amendment.
There is something deeply amiss when our so-called leader does not care at all about the dead and wounded innocent victims of a terrorist bombing, or the dead and wounded victims of a horrific accident, or even the threat of assassination by poison-letter-sending leftist terrorists .... But only becomes enraged when an opportunity to strip Americans of their rights is squandered.
I suck, and due to your observation, I shall never pen another editorial so long as I shall live.
I’m just going to leave now before this gets too weird for my delicate sensibilities.
Because we ran candidates against him who would not take the fight to him, only to us. You can't beat somebody with nobody.
If you use the expression “could care less” you may as well not.
I feel his victory had four contributing factors:
1) Fraud: It accounts for a percentage.
2) Geek factor: Numerical analysis dictated the precints to be focused on, to the exclusion of all others. With these precincts, the victory was assured.
3) Dumbass voters.
4) Poor Republican candidate, who only had one or two shining moments all campaign, and who was too far to the left to be a clearcut choice away from Obama.

Any ‘word burst’ of mine is yours for the taking, without any credit-strings at all, FRiend!
Punch my name, punch “In Forum” on my Flag Page, and abscond to your hearts’ content!
BTW, thanks for the compliment, and since you agree with me, you must be VERY intelligent!
#:o)
I suspect you could care less if I does.
Well it just frustrates the hell out of me that even though the GOP essentially ran two dead dogs against 0bama, to any thinking American a dead dog should have been way better.
His words, his "feigned" anger are never meant for those on the right. He would never consider my (conservatives) thoughts and ideas. Now from the eyes of a socialist it make perfect sense.
In the face of defeat I need to be rallied. I must believe my leader which just failed in a important issue is fighting for the "cause." And in that speech(s) I become more angry and resolved.
I (figuratively speaking) as a socialist could care less about Waco (see, capitalism kills people), Boston, am praying its a white right wing wacko. So yes, please Obama, please show passion about the one issue which is more important to me.
And the resolve of left becomes deeper for that passion. In the meantime we (conservatives) shake our head dumbfounded.
By the way Laz, excellent post.
Maybe. Perhaps. Just don’t stop pinging me if you do keep writing them, ya nut.
It rubs the lotion on it's skin, it does this whenever it is told.
preachin to the choir laz, but *we* all knew what to expect from a muzzcomm anti-Christ...
Excellent post...
Having to think on 3 topics at once might be too much for the ordinary O supporter today. So the contrast is left for us here on FR to observe...
It is my hope that as I preach to the choir, the sermon gets circulated down in town somehow.
please add me to the ping list.
We shouldn't claim victory yet. That bill only failed by 6 votes. There were 54 Senators who voted for it. That's a rather thin margin, and if another incident happens soon, they could easily find those 6 votes.
Crimes against other people are of little concern to Obama, except where he can score political points out of them. Defeat of the gun-control (and, to a lesser extent, the lack of a cave-in on sequester) was a “crime” against him, and he lashes out.
And I thought Clinton was the ultimate narcissist.
