President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.”

“The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.”

As he spoke, Mr. Obama was surrounded by family members of victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Also with him was former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, wounded in an assassination attempt.

Senators voted 54-46 late Wednesday to expand background checks of gun purchases, six votes shy of the 60 needed for passage of the amendment.

Here is the GOP TRAITORS !

"GOP Sens. John McCain (Ariz.),
Susan Collins (Maine),
Pat Toomey (Pa.) a
and Mark Kirk (Ill.) voted "yes." "

Here are Democrats that voted against it.

"Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor (Ark.),
Max Baucus (Mont.),
Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.),
Mark Begich (Alaska)
and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) voted against it.
Reid supported the measure but voted against it to preserve his ability to bring the measure up again. "

“The left are doing EVERYTHING to provoke a fight.”

Let them start it. Let them bring it. The fight WILL be joined!

I cannot wait until 2017, when this lying, statist POS is permanently retired from his present job.

You're being awfully optimistic.

Notice how liberals and democrats always accuse their opponents with the behavior they actually employ? Obfuscation.

Apparently neither Giffords nor the Sandy Hook victims see the irony in being used as props for a bill that would not have saved them.

[bfree]

The only line I can ever see standing in, will be the line to piss on this POS’s grave. FUBO.

Be prepared for the revenge the Krybaby Kenyan will now take against the American people.

I’ve been saying all along that Mark Kirk is NOT a Republican, no matter what letter he has after his name. He sides with the Dims more than most Dims do!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I wonder who’s paying to hotel those folks from Newtown while they are in Wash DC being paraded around like puppies?

Think they’re bunking with Uncle Joe in his backyard cabin?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well after all 90% of the American people wanted that gun control dontcha know. :-)

[willibeaux]

The liar-in-chief complaining about lies. Hilarious!!

Was anyone watching The Five when Obama came on? I thing they expected Obama to comment on the Boston Marathon.

Greg Gutfeld listened to Obama’s opening words and said, “Oh, is that all this is!” Then they cut back to the program.

After the commercial break, he did say he could have handled that better. I disagree. It was perfect.
