Tuesday, our president came to us live from the Treasury Department. Allegedly, the purpose was to update Americans on the horrific Islamist terrorist attack at an LGBT club in Florida, as well as offer an update in the war against ISIS. But Obama reserved the second half of the speech for a vicious partisan diatribe. It would be as if FDR, partway through his “Day of Infamy” speech, began bashing Republicans for not supporting lend-lease.
The first sign that the president’s remarks were headed south came when he lapsed into yet another tired attempt to link effective counterterrorism with the debate on gun control. Hijacking a tragedy to press a political agenda, however, is pure opportunism.
The Orlando attack is as much about a mass shooting as 9/11 was about a plane crash.
Terrorists use all kinds of weapons to kill. If government banned everything that can be used to kill people in great numbers, we would all have to live in empty rubber rooms. Childproofing the world to make us safe from terrorists is not a responsible strategy.
If Obama wanted to debate gun control, and not look like a partisan hack, he would have chosen another time to make his case, and he would have started with the facts.

“Hijacking a tragedy to press a political agenda, however, is pure opportunism.”
Welcome to the Democrat Party...
Can’t have Americans go all shootie on mussie killers. They’re from the ROP you understand.
It’s about the second amendment. They are using the murders to take away OUR rights, not those of the jihadis. The jihadis know this, and will be very happy to invade a country that is not armed.
Obummer is ameriCANTs #1 snowflake:-)
That's right, folks. Obama ordered this destruction after being elected the first time. He also suspended ALL Iraqi immigration to the US for 6 months in 2011 (but he hammers Trump for suggesting a temporary ban on Muslim immigration).
The evil and desired destruction of our country by the left knows no bounds. Please forward these links of Philip Haney to everyone you know:
The Muslims and the Democrats want the same thing: American patriots disarmed and helpless.
There will be no change in their joint plans.
I confess that I like watching three ring circus clowns like Obuma.
I can’t even listen to that arrogant pos and always mute my TV, or change the channel, so I don’t have to look at his ugly visage
