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."

I suspect he is “lying” again. :o(
Is he rubbing something in his eye? Just asking. Have not
seen him crying before; and it is strangely not having the
desired effect! - G. Washington is gonna be LOVED more than
you, Barry. (And he didn’t even question whether or not I
could have my old, old revolver. - Guns & religion. Still
clinging, son!)

The Fed and local authorities now skip prosecuting to the full extent of the law fire arm felons. People who shoot at police or other victims should go to jail for longer sentences and should be denied bail in many cases.
Plus..in targeted neighborhoods police should be doing stop and question and search. I am also in favor of having curfews in high crime neighborhoods. Nothing much good happens after 1AM.
We also should not be letting a lot of so called “non-violent” drug dealer loose when we know that drug deal disputes are often settled with illegal weapons.

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

*BUMP*

I have referred this person as “Current Occupant”, Maximum Leader of “Current Regime” and the territory once known as “the United States of America”, and even that may be far too gracious an address.

I hope Hazmat was called to deal with any tears making it to the ground. If left a length of time, it could be a China Syndrome situation, with those tears making a mess burning a hole from the ground, down to where they originated.

Probably kids play compared to other corrosive substances, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, plutonium,...

Escape From Chicago
Chicago: The mess that Democrats made.

Excerpt from article

On Sunday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s African-American Deputy Chief of Staff was assaulted at a prayer vigil for a police shooting by an attacker shouting anti-Semitic slurs. Rapper King Louie, who coined “Chiraq” was released from the hospital after being shot seven times.

He blamed the devil. “The devil’s working overtime. That’s what’s going on in Chicago.”

But in Chiraq, the devil is a Democrat. Chicago Democrats are closely entangled with its 68,000 gang members who deliver the votes and the money. There are more gang members in Chicago than people of English ancestry. That makes them a powerful voting bloc. And Democrats bow to their wishes.

A Latin Kings member described how the vote organizing worked. “Every chapter had to vote for that guy… That was a direct order. That means you can’t say no.” Under the Dems, that’s Chicago democracy.

Chicago Democrats ritualistically demand gun control, but carefully avoid cracking down on their own political base. Obama calls for “common sense solutions” after every shooting, but like a good Chicago Democrat he voted against a 1999 bill to try anyone carrying out a shooting in school as an adult. Under Obama, Federal gun-crime prosecutions in Chicago have became as rare as honest Chicago Democrats.

I would guess that if somebody was clever enough they could sell a gun, cash & carry, through Craigslist and the buyer could walk away with it without anyone but the two of them being any wiser.

He needs the Rev. Wright back-patters. I loved them.

A couple guys waving towels to cool him down would be great, too.

He’s probably using hand signals.

Were tears coming from both eyes, or just the one he touched with onion juice?

So King Obama thinks he can all by himself force you to do a background check on your children before you give them a gun?

What's a kitman?

http://tinyurl.com/MuzzieKitman

"In Islamic jurisprudence kitman ("secrecy, concealment") is a subfield of Hiyal (the practice of deception or legal trickery), consisting of the art of making ambiguous statements, paying lip-service to authority while reserving personal opposition, in a kind of political camouflage or reservatio mentalis.

The use of such practices to conceal one's religious affiliation when facing persecution or oppression is known as taqiyya."

So, to a muzzie, regular lying is "Kitman".

Lying to conceal your religion is "Taqiyya".

The Bent One faked tears very frequently when he was POTUS if I recall correctly.

I guess he learned the trick from Bill "The Fornicator" Clinton who used it a Ron Brown's funeral.

Obama also shed tears for the Constitution - crocodile tears.

Jerry Seinfeld was just at the White House. Must have been teaching him how to cry on cue.

Obama has always wanted to be an actor.
