President Barack Obama on Saturday issued a statement about the shooting that took place at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Friday.
Three people, including a policeman, were killed in the incident.
“If we truly care about this--if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience--then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them,” said Obama. “Period. Enough is enough.”
Here is the full text of President Obama’s statement:
The last thing Americans should have to do, over the holidays or any day, is comfort the families of people killed by gun violence -- people who woke up in the morning and bid their loved ones goodbye with no idea it would be for the last time.
And yet, two days after Thanksgiving, that’s what we are forced to do again.
We don’t yet know what this particular gunman’s so-called motive was for shooting twelve people, or for terrorizing an entire community, when he opened fire with an assault weapon and took hostages at a Planned Parenthood center in Colorado. What we do know is that he killed a cop in the line of duty, along with two of the citizens that police officer was trying to protect. We know that law enforcement saved lives, as so many of them do every day, all across America. And we know that more Americans and their families had fear forced upon them.
This is not normal. We can’t let it become normal. If we truly care about this -- if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience -- then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.
May God bless Officer Garrett Swasey and the Americans he tried to save -- and may He grant the rest of us the courage to do the same thing.
Not that I believe we can’t pray with a clean conscience because of what Christ has done for us, but if I were to finish the sentence it would be we can’t pray with a clean conscience as long as we allow the scourge of abortion to stain our land.
Even for Obama, this is really out there.
Yet not a word of the untold hundreds killed inside the pp version of aushwitz.
Should have ended with abortion but this sicko is demonic.
I wouldn’t have a “clean conscience” if I advocated finishing off a baby that survived an abortion.
If not, he likely has staff members monitoring us.
There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile.
Obama prays to Moloch. I could care a less about his little moral compass that says it’s perfectly fine to chop a newborn baby in half and rip their brains out.
God will deal with him in due time.
.
Obama prays to himself, since there is no higher authority in Heaven or Earth.
.
I can't imagine Obama uttering a word of prayer (unless it was a moment at his favorite Chicago gay bathhouse, Man's Country.)
.
Nice 63 1/2!
What is unconscionable is that people died protecting a temple of human sacrifice.
Thanks Friend, my first car (not this one) was a 63 1/2, and I’ve loved them ever since. :)
Cue the ACLU complaint about separation of church and state... [cough, cough].
Fuch you Obama. you hypocrite commie sodomite foreigner.
He wants to say Allah but he can’t do that til he’s out of office and can go to the mosque openly.
He has a clean conscience because he serves a different master.
Giving 150 billion unmarked/untasked US dollars, to Iran is the next, to the last thing. Then, the disgrace of mankind, can start to unfold.
