Trump: Come on, Obama’s tears were sincere yesterday
HOTAIR ^ | 1/6/16 | Ed Morrissey

However, I think the tears were real, probably more from frustration at being on the losing end of this argument and seeing that clearly. That also explains the yelling and other demagoguery in the presser. More to the point, there isn’t much gained in trying to litigate the opposite, especially for prospective presidential nominees. Trump takes the best political tack — allowing for legitimate motivation while opposing the policies and the ideology behind it.

The relevant point: What makes this most interesting is how often Trump has been unwilling to extend the same courtesy to other Republicans and conservative media figures who have criticized him in the past.

Remember, we are in the age of "is is"...

The tears were sin-cere.

Cere, meaning pare of the head of a bird of prey, and sin, meaning satan.

Thus, literally from Satan's head.

Maybe it is a piling on thing. Think of it like telling a story. You build build build to the apex and come to a new bottom to start all over again.

The President has genuine mental problems, so for him at that moment he may have been emotional and those could have been real tears from his problematic brain.
By the way, does Obama’s own new orders ban him from having a gun regarding his mental status?

I swear I remember people having seven fits when Bill Clinton cried for the cameras. I remember people trashing the media for saying how sincere bill was.

But I guess thats when conservatism and not cults of personality were the norm on FR.

That is not a typical response of a Cruz supporter.

Make things up then say you know the motivation of a whole group of people.

The irrationality on this forum lately is hard to believe.

Of course Obama was crying. He’s been working at gun control for eight years, and he STILL hasn’t managed to impose it on the country. He is the Divine Emperor, and yet those peons just keep refusing to listen to him!

I bet a million democrat voters crossed over to Trump from Hillary due to that remark about Obama’s tears.

Trump has a different take, however, on both the tears and the presser. "I think he means well,"

Do you think Obama means well? ... because I think he wants to take away our guns.

Desperation makes one do irrational things.
If a superb debater and constitutional conservative can not overtake a non-political neophyte politician after 6 months, I can’t blame Cruzers from getting desperate. It is going to get much worse after NH primary results are out.

Obama’s tears were about as real as his American “birth certificate”
