WASHINGTON (AP) The White House says a National Rifle Association video referencing President Barack Obama's daughters is "repugnant and cowardly."
Obama spokesman Jay Carney says most Americans agree that a president's children should not be used as "pawns in a political fight." Carney was referring to an online video from the pro-gun lobby. The video calls Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for having armed Secret Service agents protect his daughters at school while not committing to installing armed guards in all schools.
The NRA released the video ahead of Obama's announcement Wednesday of proposals for curbing the nation's gun violence. The president is calling on Congress to enact universal background checks and ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines all measures the NRA opposes.
The gun lobby has instead called for armed guards in schools.

Even if there were no secret service protection for his daughters the school they attend still has armed security guards.
Also it’s obama’s own fault for punishing himself with children.
The NRA was not using Obama’s kids as pawns as this lying jackass suggests, but rather exposing the fact that we are forced to pay for the armed guards in school for Obama’s kids that Obama wants to deny to our own children. A situation that we are not going to sit still for.
Yup, a bully will back down when faced with a dauntless person.
Same here, instead of making laws by EO, the bully in question published some mealymouthed blather about existing laws.
Good job indeed, NRA!
what was it, 100,000 new members in one month?
Yeah, use other dumb people's children up on the stage when you're signing things
But he's more then willing to use everyone elses children...MORE of his IN YOUR FACE elitism..! What a piece of work that guy is..!
president’s children should not be used as “pawns”
President used children as pawns today.
President holding all schoolchildren hostage until he gets his Semi Auto ban.
President's children as pawns in a political fight = bad.
Your children as pawns in a political fight = good
Is that clear now?
This is so good, I may just do a cut and paste when I send my emails referencing the illegal & anti-freedom actions taken today by this regime. Hope you don't mind.
Minor correction: ONLY Life Members can vote on officers. I've been a Life Member for 24 years which is also as long as I've been one of their Certified Instructors. Two years ago, I moved up to an Endowment Life Member.
Oh, I’m a lifer, too, so I took the vote for granted.
But I still want to encourage everyone to join the NRA.
That is, as long as you’re not a commie.
So much about this man screams “Anti-Christ On Deck”...
That ad attacks 0bama the way he needs to be attacked — and the way he deserves to be. The man is a 24-carat, five-star hypocrite and the ad calls him out hard.
Good.
I suspect Carney could never get a respectable non government job after being a suck up lap dog for Obama.
Obama was never taught in this country we do not have aristocracy.
The next step is to do the same STYLE of commercial for members of the MSM.
110% with the NRA on this.
Obama defined his second term already.
Big mistake.
what happens when NRA members is a job qualification requirement?
Peta = no job
NRA = job
