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

Posted on 01/05/2016 9:50:06 AM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

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."

Yes, it does - despite some of the toughest gun laws in the country. Apparently real-world evidence that gun restrictions are counter-productive have no effect on liberal fantasies.

The real problem is young black men with guns in big cities. How about an EO that they can be searched at any time by any police officer for any reason? That’ll get rid of lots of guns in the hands of criminals.

This is all b.s. Go after people who already follow the rules pretending it’ll make a difference.

Watch how the ‘go it alone’ cheering MSM reacts when President Trump starts issuing his Executive Orders.

“Dictator, Kind, abuse of power, what about the Constitution system of checks and balances...!”

It’s time to stop referring to this....individual as “President Obama” or “The President”. I tired of hearing him referred to as such.

Obama says folks can buy guns over the Internet with no background checks. Really? I think he is lying. How would that even be possible?

I caught part of this presser live. What was up with the delivery setting? It reminded me of an elimination ceremony on a reality TV show.

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?

Obama middle finger

Looks familiar:

They deserved it because their parents were the “wrong” people.

Ain’t it grand living under a totalitarian Marxist homosexual drug-addict taqiyya/kitman Mooslim President for seven years and counting?

What's a kitman?

Nah. He was crying because it just dawned on him that his latest EO might keep weapons out of the hands of his Muzzie pals!

FUBO.

Hey, in the last year of his painful presidency, we see some tears. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t fake. Its surprising since we usually only see anger (at conservatives), distain, arrogance, cold detachment (even when discussing military casualties or casualties of terrorist attacks) or inappropriate casualness from him.

The GREAT thing is Obama will hire at least 200 more ATF agents.(he will hire 1,000 more, in all likelihood)

In the mean time, zero concern for black-on-black crime, abortions and Christian children murdered by ISIS and Boko Haram.

“and by the way it happens on the streets of Chicago every day” - Obama

and by the way it happens on the streets of Chicago every day, the city with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country...

I always assumed that the Democrat Party ran a “Cry on Cue” instructional seminar for it’s candidates somewhere.
