President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.”
“The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.”
As he spoke, Mr. Obama was surrounded by family members of victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Also with him was former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, wounded in an assassination attempt.
Senators voted 54-46 late Wednesday to expand background checks of gun purchases, six votes shy of the 60 needed for passage of the amendment.

2) the GOP leadership/NRA are/will be cowards for letting this man call them a liar How is the NRA "letting this man call them a liar"? Seems to me they give as good as they get. The GOP-e could learn a lesson from them.

Passive aggressive behavior he learned when his white mother abandoned him...always resurfaces when he doesn’t get his way...quite pathetic to see it play out when it comes to national security...and the future strength of the united states...

President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.” Without attribution or proof, this lead sentence accepts The Great Prevaricator's statement as truth and implies editorial agreement. This is horrible journalism. I expect this from the New York Times or Washington Post, not the Washington Times.
In fact, it's bad enough for the NRA to demand a correction.

So that's what he brought them all up there for ... as stage props for denouncing citizens who're standing on their rights.
After a while, even people like Giffords are going to get tired of being cigar-store Indians for Dear Leader's tirades.

Willful liars? Doesn't Osama Obama have an SSAN issued in the State of Connecticut? In neither of his fictional biographies is it mentioned that he *ever* lived in Connecticut.

I suspect that some of Mark Kelly’s recent shenanigans are evidence that he’s already fed-up with being used by this administration. Just a hunch.

Has anyone checked over at DUmpster Underground to see if William Pitt has hanged himself....or threatened the life of The Speaker or Wayne La Pierre?

“I cannot wait until 2017, when this lying, statist POS is permanently retired from his present job.”
Let’s all hope that actually happens. He shows no inclination towards leaving or allowing the constitutional process to take place. He’s already threatening EO to override the senate vote

“3) The left are doing EVERYTHING to provoke a fight.”
I agree. It’s a fight they can’t possibly win. It won’t be fought in the courts
