Obama angrily denounces gun-rights groups as willful liars

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.

I think someone could make a FORTUNE by producing Lawn Jockeys, with The Messiah’s face on them........that’s actually ALSO “above his paygrade”......

Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Susan Collins (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pa.), and Mark Kirk (Ill.), they ALL need to be PRIMARIED !
None of these TRAITORS are Republican, as far as I'm concerned.
They need to be drowned in advertisements, publicizing their vote!

“Shall not be infringed,” Mr. pResident.

DEAL WITH IT.

Poor Commies, a whole year or more of hard work and waiting for the right tragedy to exploit, all wasted. This loss is going to leave a mark and they know it.

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

It's only April 17th and you are asking that?

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

Nah, he'd charge them rent just like the Secret Service.

Maybe they stayed here:

It's pretty close to Capitol Hill.

I watched his speech and I can say that it was the only speech he has ever given that I enjoyed. I smiled all the way through the speech.

I don’t think either one of them will be re-elected to their seat. McCain is definitely finished. I think Collins will not run again. Kirk will lose. And Toomey will be primaried.

Pluck yew—Nice graphic.

Note to Toomey: Better brush up that Resume. Change is coming!

[Arm_Bears]

If they are, he’s charging them for the stay if the past is any indication.

What a sniveling goat humper...

We need to require background checks for candidates running for President of the United States.
We need to persecute people who forge fake birth certificates, especially when running for public officer.
We need background checks for voter rights, to get rid of ILLEGAL ALIENS voting, especially ones from Kenya.

[americas.best.days...]

Hopefully the NRA,flush with new revenue from recent new
memberships, will make an effective ad exposing this frauds
willfull misinformation, and carpetbomb the airwaves with
it.

The second amendment defends the first after all.

[Christie at the beach]

Love it when the constitution wins and these communist leaders fail to take away our rights. He was in a rage; he threatens those in the NRA and those in his own party that voted in a way to defeat his communist take over. Be strong patriots!

I happened to catch a snippit of the See-BS 6:00 news as I was cooking dinner. Barkey was going on about how 90% of Americans as well as 90% of Democrats wanted expanded background checks and .....blah ....blah ...small minority thwarted the will of the people....blah ...blah.

I had to shut it off before I vomited all over my grill.
