NEW YORK—President Barack Obama should not bother trying to pass gun-control legislation because the issue is partly cultural and Obama is from an urban area, former President Bill Clinton said Thursday. Clinton was asked about the gun issue during his keynote address at a New York City conference on sustainability.

The former president said Obama is from Chicago and "he was in the state Senate from the most liberal district in Chicago."

Clinton said he was able to sign the 1993 Brady handgun law, which mandated federal background checks for gun buyers, because he was from Arkansas, had grown up among hunters and had hunted in his youth.

"I knew what to do," Clinton said. "They couldn't turn me into some freak, and I went after them."

Billy, we know how successful you were while in office, everyone gets it!

Successful in totally embarrassing our nation, successful in staining(litterally)the sanctity of the oval office, successful in allowing foreign entities to gain sensitive technical secrets.

Thanx so much for your service to this nation....now, please, disappear!

“Clinton said. “They couldn’t turn me into some freak”

No Bill, you did that well enough on your own.

“The GOP would be wise to use gun control as a means of dividing blacks from the democrats.”

Yes, but the GOPee is afraid that the MSM won't like them and write nice things or broadcast nice things about them. Besides, Mittens is a big fan of gun control and the GOPee wouldn't want to put Mittens in a compromised position where he'd be competing with Obama as “gungrabber-in-chief”.
