President Obama was recently quoted as saying to Fareed Zakaria that his biggest failure was his inability to impose gun control on the United States. It was a bridge too far. Even the leadership of the Republican Party, who had done little to seriously oppose President Obama's agenda, feared the backlash from the voters more than they feared the establishment media. Enough politicians feared the clout of gun culture voters to stop the irrational bills fueled by raw emotion. That is not the way President Obama saw it. From washingtonexaminer.com:
"If you ask me where has been the one area where I feel that I've been most frustrated and most stymied, it is the fact that the United States of America is the one advanced nation on Earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws," Obama told Fareed Zakaria in the TV special, "The Legacy of Barack Obama."President Obama has left a lasting legacy in the gun culture. There are some loose ends to wrap up before we know the full extent of that legacy.
Despite national anger following mass shootings throughout his two terms, Obama was unable to convince Congress to pass legislation that would change those policies, including enhancing background checks and not selling firearms at gun shows and other venues.
Obama was adamant in the days following the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newton, Conn., that he had done all he could to keep the U.S. afloat in the midst of other challenges, including the auto and bank bailout, and did not have the support to push a controversial gun bill now. Obama's frustration prompted him to take executive action in January 2016.
Maybe Obama and Hillary will now team up and stage Pfleger-style protest “invasions” of gun stores (”for the children”).
Their SS escorts will lock down the place & order patrons at gunpoint to lie down, and cause a major disruption of business.
When they do, Feinstein & Schumer will cringe....
In 35 days, BHO will be an unemployed loser. I will celebrate that day more than any other day in my life. Avoiding civil war (the least terrible possibility under Hillary) and surviving BHO (the worst disaster in American history) makes for a great combination.
I spent no less than a hundred hours and months on it. Flight 800 and sandy hook. Neither happened the way they reported it.
All liberals are women, even those with XY chromosomes, and I am enjoying their lamentations. Conan was correct about what is best in life. Thank God we avoided the disaster of a third socialist term, one under the Pantsuit Tyrant.
Obama did try hard.
You mean gun confiscation
Obamatons regret gun confiscation because they want power over an unarmed populace. There is no doubt in my mind Obama would run the nation as a dictator for life a-la Castro, Chavez, or Kim Il Sung if we didn’t have guns. No doubt whatsoever.
After watching a few youtube videos and discussing with a few people, I sometimes wonder if Sandy Hook was a false flag.
____________________________________________
Sandy Hook was real. But it soon turned into an orchestrated “manufacorted crisis”. Almost immediately after the shootings were done, Obama, the press and officials on the scene turned this tragedy into a 3 ring circus. To hell with the dead kids and their grieving parents.
Sandy Hook was the biggest grandstand for overturning the 2nd and grabbing guns in all of our history.
Thank God they failed.

What gave me pause when it happened was that there were so many deaths and no injuries. I wasn’t seeing it as a conspiracy or anything, I just saw it as an outlier. It’s really harder to kill people, even kids, with a gun, than most people think. It’s why there are usually so many injuries and so few actual deaths.
But this one was different for some reason.
I think that is why I got a funny feeling, and now we know about ‘fake news’ did they really ‘fake report’ it? I would like some questions answered...

Your post isn’t just hyperbole.
I live in sacramento in a very liberal neighborhood and all of my male neighbors are whipped by their yenta wives, vegetarian, girly men. They are feminine. It makes me sick and I so want to move but unfortunately my wifes job is keeping us here.
Being President
True, but at least we have largely determined they are concentrated like sheep being led to slaughter.
That claim represents a dangerous misunderstanding of Barack 0bama.
From 0bamacare to fags in the military to offending our allies and aiding our enemies, Barack 0bama has been remarkably successful in pursuing his deliberate program of damaging, degrading and destroying America.
Obama tried to set off three nukes simultaneously over the Middle West, creating an EMP, in hopes of killing at least 200 million Americans. He was thwarted.
I think this would have to be called his biggest failure.
Obama failed his Saudi and Red Chinese puppet masters.
Pelosi and Hillary have replaced Obama as the main Saudi/Red Chinese puppets. Which is pretty pathetic—that they are reduced to these two hags.
