Obama disgusts me. Standing on the dead bodies of 20 little kids and their six protectors as his “bully pulpit”.

Obama is such a despicable individual (as are most Democrats). To call him disgusting and without merit would be kind.

It isn’t just this. He’s invoking the Newton massacre to push for climate change controls, too.

A really inappropriate remark that he’ll never be called on.

That’s the fourth time this tinpot thug has smeared himself in the blood of those little children to demagogue his political agenda. 0bamugabe is the most despicable POS to hold office in my lifetime.

Let's face it. We are going over the cliff. That was the plan all along. It was a great way for the democrats to slash defense. The only good thing about it is that there will be cuts. Any deal with the democrats would be for taxes now, savings later.

Right after we go off the cliff the democrats will reintroduce the lower tax rates for everyone below $250k and the republicans will go along with it.

Obama consistently lowers standards of behavior for a president. What a low life, scum sucking, thug a-hole he is.

He could say “Santa will be here in a few days and we need to get this done before his arrival” and those who worship him will say “I think he’s right.”

Or he could say “If we don’t raise taxes on the rich more poor people will buy guns and kill more poor people.” Those who worship him will say “That makes perfect sense. If some poor people are murdered because the republicans wouldn’t raise taxes, obama should have every Tea Party congressman killed.”

A responsible journalist would have stood up and asked “Mr. President, which is worse: the murder of 20 children or the out of control destruction of millions of children’s futures?”
