WASHINGTON --A visibly infuriated President Barack Obama surrounded himself with tear-stained parents of Connecticut school shooting victims Wednesday after the Senate voted down a measure designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and declared it a "pretty shameful day for Washington."

He said a minority of senators decided "it wasn't worth it" to protect the nation's children.

The Senate, which is controlled by the president's own party, handed him a stinging first defeat for his second term by voting down a bipartisan compromise to expand background checks for gun buyers.

And Obama doesn’t care about the kids who are aborted and have their necks cut to kill them.

Illegally prescribed narcotic use is down right against law in the United States, yet...



The chart represents citizens having illicit drug use disorders; add several percentages more for those who use illegal drugs that feel they don't have disorders, lol.

Pushing paper will stop mass shootings, lol. Emotion trumps--self-defense with the used and abused along with the useful idiots like the writer of the WP article.

If he cared about the kids, he wouldn’t be trying to spy upon and disarm law-abiding citizens, but rather seeking to provide them with armed security like he and the other branches of gummint enjoy.

And he wouldn't support killing aborted babies...

“The president, shaken to the core by the massacre of 26 innocents” I’m sure he was very shaken....so shaken that he has used the families as props for the last 4 months. This was all politics for him from day 1. An opportunity to finally pass the liberal wet dream gun control bill that effectively repealed the 2nd amendment. Too bad, so sad.
The kenyan maggot fails again to install his marxist agenda.

Does anyone have the list of RATS that voted in support of disarming law abiding citizens?

Don’t forget about abortion and especially partial birth abortion. That would protect millions of kids!

Hence the push for gun-control in the first place. The weapons were already out of the barn, let’s close the gate.

It’s a cover of a cover up.

Our representatives across all branches are to be our equals, not our betters. They’re creating an aristocracy by law.

LMBO!!!
This kind of lamentation by the scumbag liberals is exactly why Reid never wanted to bring up this legislation in the first place. Ubama really screwed up by pressing the issue.

Pretty much everything we have done to the Constitution has been a blunder or a cluster-f*ck. OK, we can keep women suffrage.

That's the one that destroyed America.

Just once, I’d like to see a presstitute ask Baraq this question:

“Your words on both subjects show you favor the cold-blooded murder of innocent, defenseless children both inside and outside of the womb. How do you reconcile this fact with any form of civilization or humanity?”

So-—is Obama going to declare that no more pressure cookers can be sold? Or do we need a background check for that? For nails? Ball bearings???

It is becoming apparent to me that the most mentally unbalanced person in this entire country is residing in the White House Oval Office.
