Obama wipes away tears as he calls for new gun measures (Drama Queen Alert)
Politico ^ | 01/05/16 | Sarah Wheaton and Nick Gass

President Barack Obama wept openly Tuesday as he delivered a forceful defense of new executive actions on gun violence, a set of modest proposals to tighten loopholes that likely face quick legal challenges and could be vulnerable to reversal by a Republican White House.

The president ran through a list of mass shootings that have happened during his time in office, and teared up as he recalled the schoolchildren gunned down in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012.

"First graders in Newtown. First graders," Obama said, pausing to collect himself. "Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad. And by the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day."

Cut Chairman Maobama a break! As the tears flowed, he was merely recalling the news that Saul Alinsky had died.

Drugs and alcohol can make people cry uncontrollably. Take a look at John Boehner.

At least he didn’t sing Amazing Grace while lighting the Whitehouse up with a rainbow.

Electronic records will be searched, seized, created, and used in the prosecution.

Perhaps I should have put “created” first in that list.

“There is no comparison whatever between an armed and disarmed man; it is not reasonable to suppose that one who is armed will obey willingly one who is unarmed; or that any unarmed man will remain safe” Niccola Machiavelli, “The Prince.” 1537.

For it is enough to ask a man to give up his arms, without telling him that you intend killing him with them; after you have the arms in hand, then you can do your will with them.” “The Discourses,” end of chapter XLIV

“I have a challenge for everyone.
Pretend you are wiping a tear or have something in your own eye.

How many use their middle finger instead of their index finger?”

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

Google ‘Obama middle finger’ (Pictures) and you'll find many occasions when he's done this, crying or not.

“He uses his middle finger to passive aggressively tell everyone what he thinks”

Exactly.

Where are the Benghazi survivors? Who are they?

Oh, brother, what an act! We will never be rid of this jerk. Even after he’s no longer POTUS, he will continue to demand our attention. The media will comply. UGH!

Obama is a POS. He NEVER shed one tear for the terror attack Victims in San Bernardino..he NEVER shed one tear for the victims of the terror attack in Paris..he didnt even lower the flag to half staff til two weeks AFTER THE ATTACKS. Obama despises our Constitution, this is not about the gun but what the gun represents, the 2nd Amendment, if there was a knife amendment in the constitution he would be against knives..this is all about destroying our constitution piece by piece

Staying quiet, in fear of their lives, their families’ lives, their livelihoods and homes.
