The mass shooting that took place in Charleston, South Carolina Wednesday night is tragic beyond belief and the nation mourns for the victims and their families. While President Obama shared his grief in a press conference this afternoon, he also couldn’t resist turning the statement into a call for gun control.
And then, quite predictably, he was off to fundraise and play golf.

If this sounds familiar it’s because it is. The president also went to fundraise the day after the Benghazi attack that left four Americans dead, including a sitting ambassador; he hit the links minutes after a somber address about American journalist James Foley’s beheading by ISIS; and went fundraising after giving a brief statement about the Fort Hood mass shooting. We could go on and on and on.
Optics matter, and Obama still hasn’t learned that, or just doesn’t care.
Yeah right, Who do they think they are kidding?
I left the 3 stooges out.. they served their country ‘honorably’ in more than a few military skits.
and what makes you think I was referring to Grouch, Zeppo, Harpo?
What about Karl and his brother?
I hear ya on the A&C duo ,, they served time at the front.. entertaining troops.. and more.. ;-)
Did that after Benghazi.
So much fundraising, I though he boasted he was done campaigning...
Did he give a shout out as he did the day of the Ft. Hood shooting?
0bama can sure raise money when he’s not otherwise confiscating it.
With ALL the fundraising this maniac does,
I wonder how much of it he is getting as kickbacks?
I believe he is squieerling some of the money for himself.
Simply a cheep hood with an anti American bent.
I did miss that.
At least he didn’t head STRAIGHT to the golf course at the end of the news brief.
I’m sure that’s a sign of his heart-felt sympathy for the victims & their families. (/s)
