Jacques and other community leaders just don’t want Obama coming to their town pushing his gun confiscation agenda.
“Well I think the president will not be welcomed into the community. And that is not just my opinion. We talked to dozens upon dozens of citizens, some family members of the victims, our elected officials. And you may have a copy, if you don’t I’d be glad to read from it on the air that our Douglas County commissioners along with our Douglas County sheriff, who is very popular, and our chief of police all came to consensus language about him not being welcome here to grandstand for political purposes.”
He says that many people in the community were extremely offended when Obama held a press conference pushing for more gun control hours after the shooting, before residents had even finished “counting the bodies on the campus.”
He added, “So now he [Obama] wants to come to our community and stand on the corpses of our loved ones to make some kind of a political point, and it isn’t going to be well-received.”
Conservative Tribune adds:
Nor will he likely be well received by Bonnie Schaan, the mother of victim Cheyenne Fitzgerald, who was shot in the back during the incident but survived.
“America, we need to pack guns — if this is what it’s coming to — to have to protect ourselves,” she said during an interview with NBC.
It sounds like nobody in Roseburg wants President Obama to show up there, because like the rest of us, they recognize that Obama is only interested in scoring political points.
When it comes to the actual victims and their families, well… they’re just collateral damage to him.
Good for them standing up against this obvious ploy.
