Former President Obama issued a scathing statement in the wake of the shooting at an elementary school in Texas on Tuesday, pointing a finger at the Republican Party and the gun lobby for their soft response on tougher gun measures.

“Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space,” Obama wrote in a Twitter thread on Tuesday, also expressing his condolences to the families who lost loved ones in the incident.

“Michelle and I grieve with the families in Uvalde, who are experiencing pain no one should have to bear.”

Isn’t pointing a finger identical to pointing an actual firearm?

Of course he does.

He and his wife love pointing their fingers at people.

It’s what they do.

No one blames the murderer - he’s apparently not at fault for what he consciously chose to do - it was the GOP for not voting for legislation that would have done nothing to stop this.

Parents did NOT work for the DOD.

Read the comments on that tweet. The guy said he made that up just being sarcastic or something.

Hey!

Barack!

The murderer was insane.

Did you support Joe on sending $40,000,000,000 to Ukraine?

Maybe you should think about how many facilities for the insane that money could have built?

Not much DOD half way between Austin/San Antonio and the Border.

Just a try at amplification of outrage on my part.
