Obama on Oregon shooting: "Our thoughts and prayers are not enough"
CBS News ^ | October 1, 2015 | Rebacca Kaplan

President Obama was visibly frustrated when he spoke about a shooting at a community college in Oregon Thursday, saying, "our thoughts and prayers are not enough."

"It's not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel. And it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inflicted someplace else in America," the president said in a statement from the White House briefing room.

He argued, "The notion that gun laws don't work, or just will make it harder for law-abiding citizens, and criminals will still get their guns - it's not borne out by the evidence," indicating that other countries like Great Britain and Australia have been more successful in enacting laws to prevent mass shootings.

"Somebody somewhere will comment and say, 'Obama politicized this issue,'" the president said. "This is something we should politicize. It is relevant to our common life together, to the body politic."(continued)

Roseburg likely has less than 100 blacks and one of them shoots up the CC. What are the odds?

he did this incantation 8+ times. if you let your children (and this is college adults here) go to a gun free whatever (the word is used as a fill in the blanks but i will qualify now that i need to. i do not refer to a bleeding vagina when i use the word whatever) You ( i don’t have kids) need to teach them to rush the bastard and take him out. I know that it takes courage but why are the taking out of these guys not normal any longer. small rant sorry

I'm not sure I'd classify 4chan as 'social media'. It's more like a toxic waste dump for the dregs of cyberspace. They'd need an army to police that cesspool. Besides, they wouldn't give a damn - anonymous dead people are always a good propaganda tool for the Left's agenda. A place like this is probably more closely monitored for purely dogmatic concerns - they'd love to see one of us step out of line, just to make an example.

If I were a suspicious man...

I'd think how convenient it seems to be that once again a mass shooting grabbed the headlines drawing attention away from one of Obama's endless screw ups.

This time it is the shambles he has made of the ISIS invasion of Syria and his weak kneed reaction to Putin and the Russians moving in to do the job he seems to be too incompetent to do.

The faggot shooter in Roanoke who shot the reporter and cameraman had a Rainbow “Gay Pride” flag in his apartment.

Where are the calls to ban the rainbow flag?

So, this so-called president wants to take away our Constitutional rights because some half-black fool murdered ten people, a crime none of us had anything to do with.

Yet Obama has no problem allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons that will be fitted to an ICBM and fired on New York one day, along with other cities.

Freaking unbelievable.

You are not alone.

I'm 62 Years Old and I never imagined I would live to see the day that a Traitorous Conniving Bastard who holds our Constitution and half the Country's Population in Contempt would become POTUS

what would be a good step towards “enough” would be if O would stop shooting off his big mouth against America, American values, and American interests..........and just resign FGS!

Go home to Krapistan and enjoy an early retirement...

This country has fallen so far into the abyss, I don't see any way for it to come back to the existential greatness it once had. But, I can tell you this: karma is a bitch, and she is on the rag. Before the last of the dust settles, there is gonna be some cosmic justice meted out to the ones of every stripe who got us here.

Obama on Oregon shooting: "Our thoughts and prayers are not enough"

Are his thoughts and prayers directed to Allah?

I believe _resident Zero is saddened that zero shooter did not kill more white Christians in the name of Allah before being tackled by a White Christian Male in a one on one struggle.

And this all happened in a State with very strict gun laws, if I remember correctly. So, why would enacting stricter gun laws help?

Final thought, just try and come and get them you skinny. Send your muzzie brown shirts. My CSO will not cooperate with your orders. MOLON LAVE.

“It’s not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel.”.........

How many times have you heard that POS say anything close to that when a cop is shot? NEVER!
