DENVER (Reuters) - President Barack Obama used a campaign stop in Colorado on Wednesday to call for an end to "senseless violence" across the country, appealing to Americans to focus on ways to stop it.

Referring to the shootings at a movie theater in Colorado and at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in recent weeks, as well as last year's shooting of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others in Arizona, Obama stopped short of calling for gun control but said concerted action was needed.

"We've got to put an end to this kind of senseless violence, whether it's in Aurora, whether it's in Oak Creek, whether it's in Tucson, whether it's in cities all across America where too many lives are cut short," he said in Denver.

We should just outlaw senselessness altogether and America will become a land of golden roads and rainbows.

Ever the crafty politician, 0bama didn’t call for an end to senseless violence in Chicago, Illinois; one of the few places in the civilized world where senseless violence actually has a sizable constituency.

As if anybody cares about Hussein’s bloviations.

I totally agree. Tell Barry and Hillary to stop the ATF selling American guns to inner city, Mexican, and Honduran gangs. That would go a long way.

Chi-Congo? I guess it must be paradise there since he didn’t mention the murder capitol of the US.

I know what will work, abolish the 22nd amendment, the 2 amendment and mandate martial law.

Versus what other type of violence?

Words, just words.

/Can’t he just wave his hands?

My vote will help end Barrys senseless administration.

As opposed to the “sensible” violence of abortion and euthanasia, both of which he thinks are really cool.

[Boogieman]

That phrase sounds so foolish to me. I mean, as long as I’m committing sensible violence, Obama is okay with that?

I think it’s sensible to say that Marxists are a threat to the country and deserve a whupping to teach them a lesson. Hey, it’s okay, because it’s not senseless, right?

The CO shooter was an unstable individual. THIS is senseless violence:

Chicago's murder rate up 38% in 2012

Talk to your buddy Rahm about "senseless violence".

The Kenyan must go.

Let’s have an end to this senseless presidency.

So reading between the lines ... is he calling for more “sensible violence”?

If I'm John Daley I'm saying "Really, BO?".

This is the same clown that called upon his supporters to get in people’s faces that disagree with his mess and bring guns to the fight!
