With Navy Yard shooters still at large, Obama warns of 'extreme wing' Republicans

After briefly addressing the tragic Navy Yard shootings, President Obama delivered a sharply partisan message to Republicans on Monday, while two individuals connected with the attack were still at large in Washington, D.C.

Obama warned of an "extreme wing" of the Republican party that was willing to shutdown the government over Obamacare.

Obama delayed his speech by about 50 minutes after news of the attack broke Monday morning, but pressed forward with his full remarks in the South Court Auditorium of the White House.

"The larger point is asked — after all that we have been through, after all the work to come back from the depths of a crisis, are some of these folks really still beholden to one extreme wing of the party that they are willing to take the entire economy just because they cannot get their way on this issue?" Obama asked. "Are they really willing to hurt people just to score political points?"

Sounds like he didn’t say which party has the extreme wing. These folks always project. Yes, the dem party HAS been taken over by its extreme wing - the communist-Islamist alliance under Obama himself - and is actively working to destroy the US.

Interesting “tell”.

The battle lines are being drawn. The organizer has been busy since day one attacking the successful. By creating enough suffering, the once middle class will be looking to government for solutions. The Tea Party are being painted as revolutionaries while this regime goes about destroying our founding principles.

Without any shots fired, they’ll tell you, “We won, deal with it”, as if all that came before may now be ignored- along with those who fought and died to protect our liberties. I don’t think so. It’s not that easy. Perhaps others will now realize why they are so adament about limiting gun ownership. Revolutions are less messy that way. And Tan Santa is the last person who’d want to get his hands dirty.

“Are they really willing to hurt people just to score political points?”

Yes, the democrats are willing to hurt working poeple just to implement their envisioned utopia. The workforce is smaller, paychecks are smaller, net wealth is smaller, energy costs are up and on and on.

Yet, they call this “success” and push for more! The are more than happy to harm people to score political points. In fact, the celebrate this harm because it means that their constituency will scream for “more help.”

Excuse? He or any of our leaders in Washington do not need an excuse for their greedy senseless actions.

You don't need an excuse if you are raised to think you are God yourself, or if your God and religion teach that any people who do not believe in your God or you, are your mortal enemy and it is your duty to wipe them off the face of the earth.

They and their rich owner/masters think it is their duty to take the freedom and the money of we the common working class, since we are not capable of proper thought.

Obummer’s continuing return to the gun issue should tell us that he has something much more sinister up his sleeve than just gun control. Do you like me sense a time sensitive urgency in his agenda?
