President Obama told supporters Friday that he'll leave one seat empty in the first lady's State of the Union guest box next week to represent victims of gun violence.
In a conference call with about 20,000 activists, the president said the gesture during his annual address to Congress Tuesday night will "remind every single one of our representatives that it's their responsibility to do something."
"We're going to leave one seat empty in the first lady's State of the Union guest box for victims of gun violence who no longer have a voice," Mr. Obama said. "We want them to be seen and understood, that their absence means something to this country."
The president took executive actions Tuesday to restrict gun ownership, including expanded background checks on gun purchases. He urged grassroots supporters on the call arranged by Organizing For Action, a spin-off of his re-election campaign, to feel "a sense of urgency" for his gun-control agenda.

Why not give it to a tranny?
Someone needs to slap a sign on it saying "Victims of Islamic Terrorism which Obama seems all too intent on ignoring."
Failing that, they should make all the rest of the seats empty. I will never understand why anyone gives that fool any degree of respect.
You’re right: drama QUEEN!
An opposing politician ought to follow up by giving a speech in an empty stadium in honor of the victims of gun control.
And some Congressman should plan an empty seat to honor the victims of gun control.
Went golfing.
Liberal policies that lead to gun deaths. South Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, etc.
That was my first thought. Apparently I wasn't alone, which I quickly determined while scrolling through this thread. I think there are already four posts with pictures of Clint and the Chair.
Yeah, the "empty chair" is a pretty iconic symbol of Obama.
SALT!
How many blacks die each day from high blood pressure and it’s side effects?
He could require a prescription for salt, only available from a licensed pharmacist; and water softener dealers.
If he truly was concerned about black lives, a salt ban!
Obama needs to borrow a chair, mm-kay?
It will be interesting to watch an empty suit talk about an empty seat.
This OTrauma can’t even come up with his own gimmick.
How about a whole box of empty chairs to represent the millions of aborted victims?
Gotta love FReepers and their pics and comments about Clint and the empty chair.
0bama never had an original thought in his life. LOL!
Damn, beat me to it!
The republicans should help him out with this visual by providing several hundred more empty seats.
Does the moron even realize that some of the people killed by guns, actually needed to be killed. Rapists, attempted murderers, burglars, aggrevated asaulters, terrorists...
This just shows he views all those people as victims, which actually explains almost all of his ridiculous policy actions.
