For those who may have forgotten, Barack Obama reminded many last week what made him such a polarizing president. In a Time magazine essay commending student gun control activists, Obama resorted to his typical name-calling and false statements.
The former President sympathized with students who “see the NRA and its allies—whether mealymouthed [sic] politicians or mendacious commentators peddling conspiracy theories—as mere shills for those who make money selling weapons of war to whoever can pay.” Trump has never used even remotely similar language to attack gun control proponents.
Obama complained, “The Parkland, Fla., students don’t have the kind of lobbyists or big budgets for attack ads that their opponents do.”
In fact, it is the gun control groups who have the big dollars. In 2016, according to OpenSecrets.org, the NRA spent almost $3.2 million on lobbying and another $1.1 million on donations to federal candidates running in that election cycle. By contrast, over that same period, Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety spent $1.4 million lobbying and Bloomberg himself gave almost $24 million in direct donations to federal candidates. Bloomberg also easily outspent the NRA on state and local elections. He spent $28 million just on two state gun control ballot initiatives. ....

It’s simple: Obama is an evil, vile bastard and he carries all the baggage of one.
...not the smartest squirrel in the tree
a) doubt he wrote it
b) don’t have dramamine
This dumas of a former President assembled a blue-ribbon commission to study the problem and come up with solutions to “get guns out of the hands of criminals” and they came up with all kinds of solutions, except to actually get guns out of the hands of criminals!
Most prohibited persons are felons, most of whom are on probation or parole. As a condition for being released from custody they agree to give up certain of their rights. The police do not need probable cause or warrant to stop them or search them. So if you want to get guns out of the hands of criminals, fund overtime pay to the local police to go shake down parolees and people on probation. Find a gun, lock ‘em back up.
I am not even sure I like this idea, but I mean it is a no brainer if you really wanted to disarm criminals. It is clear that they are not serious they just want to use violent criminals as a political tool to restrict private ownership of weapons by the citizens.
Obama, channeling his inner hitler.
It’s what aspiring totalitarian-socialist-communists do.
They just can’t help themselves.
The mealy-mouthed politician who had EIGHT years to address it now complains about other mealy-mouthed politicians. What a loser with outsize chutzpah!
As usual, Obama is wrong.
Funny how the Left has such low expectations of their Black politicians.
I still think Obama planned to become the dictator or emperor or king or destroy this Republic.
0 is saying what he needs to say about these kids out of consideration of the facts that Trianglefaceboy recently turned eighteen, and also recently came out as gay.
Add it up...
You don’t understand, he views us ordinary, law abiding citizens as criminals.
Once we find out who Obama really was, the Democrate Party will cease to exist.
Looking as presidential as ever.
Can you say, “fast and furious”?
Sure they do, BHO, - you. You're the idiot that joined with your fellow traveling homies at the NAALCP to shaft the majority of the students out of an education, and as it turns out, quite a number of them died as a result of your joint policies to keep dangerous people out of the joint.
Once we find out who Obama really was, the Democrate Party will cease to exist.

They have too many Republicans covering for them for the Kenyanesian Usurpation to ever be exposed.

I have had ENOUGH of little bammy and his “le me bu clure.”
Not another second of the clown act.

Everything The Won does or says is cringe-inducing.
