Hillary Was Right: Obama’s Inexperience Sank Gun Deal
The Daily Beast ^ | April 19, 2013 | Stuart Stevens

She told us so? The debacle on background checks fully exposed the president’s flawed leadership, which his Democratic rival warned voters about back in 2008.

If you ever need a refresher course in just how disconnected Barack Obama is from America’s mainstream culture of guns, consider this scathing indictment:

“You know, Americans who believe in the Second Amendment believe it’s a matter of constitutional right ... I disagree with Senator Obama’s assertion that people in this country ‘cling to guns’ ... People of all walks of life hunt—and they enjoy doing so because it’s an important part of their life, not because they are bitter.”

Is that Wayne LaPierre unloading on the president? Nope. It’s Hillary Clinton back in 2008 after then-senator Barack Obama’s famous reference to small-town Americans “clinging to guns and religion.” And just in case anyone missed her larger point about Obama, she went on to call the remarks “elitist and divisive.”

Hillary wasn’t my candidate, but after the president’s multiple failures to pass gun legislation capped by his Rose Garden performance, all of Hillary World can be forgiven for exhaling a loud, cathartic “I told you so.”(continued)

When you really think about her, she has shown no evidence of being able to effective lead groups of people to accomplish anything.

She has no record - name one positive thing she has accomplished - dare ya.

If Hillary wins the White House in 2016 I'm heading overseas somehow.

To where? Head for a free state like Texas or Arizona, but you won't find a more gun-friendly country overseas.

Barack Obama could not lead a starving hog to a bucket of slop.

Hillary certainly looks like the winner right now.

Benghazi may still be around to bite her butt. Eeeew... I can't believe I said that. The image has blown every neuron I have available.

Hillary Clinton would of rendered the same result. A small group of Dem Senators with reelection in a "gun State" will not have been swayed. In the end, the Democrat apparatus would have no problem with that vote anyway.

Its Hillary speaking, she goes with the wind, but she also changes it’s direction afterwards. I can’t trust anything I hear from the Clintons. Unless she has a complete cure for the economy, nothing will change. She is no Thatcher.

Not a good leader or manager??????

Hillary has F&&ked up everything she has touched her entire life.

At least in 2008 the US bet on a complete unknown. Hillary is a known quantity....all bad.....

I do believe that Hillary would have made a better president in 2008 than Obama has proven himself to be. That’s not saying much really, but, I think she would have pulled the nation out of debt better and not divided people along lines of race —like Obuma. I don’t think she will run in 2016—her day is done.

Say, 2nddivisionvet, you said you’d teach us fundraising noobs how to do what you’re suggesting if Sarah entered this last cycle. I don’t post here often but I gots a good memory, esp. when it comes to Sarah. I don’t know I could do $2 million, but I’d love to know how to raise even $200,000

Yes, well, most people don’t like to work for a grating, screechy bitch with
a nasty, vindictive temper and a habit of throwing things during tantrums.

Just sayin’.

Oh, how right you are about Hillary’s lack of leadership and management skills. Everything she’s ever touched has turned to sh!t, yet somehow there’s a myth out there that she has all this wonderful experience and success - including her recent SecState gig.

Good to know. Let’s not let them get away with it. Obamacare is Hilarycare is Clintoncare is Democratcare. It’s all one long continuum of bad ideas that never work as intended. The Clintons are liars, grifters and worse.

The name Clinton should be the butt of every joke for a generation.
