Tearful Obama Details Executive Actions in Effort to Curb Gun Violence
2016-01-06
[ABCNEWS.GO] President B.O. unveiled several measures today intended to advance his gun safety agenda, saying he could not wait for an end to political gridlock to pursue efforts to reduce gun violence.

"The constant excuses for inaction no longer do. No longer suffice. That's why we're here today," Obama said as he addressed a room full of gun safety advocates and survivors of gun violence from the East Room of the White House.

"Not to debate the last mass shooting, but to do something to try to prevent the next one."

He added: "Until we have a Congress that's in line with the majority of Americans, there are actions within my legal authority that we can take to help reduce gun violence to save more lives."

I hope you won't think me a nag, but
You're making me nervous,
So do me this service,
To let me take charge of your hagbut."

#17  AF1 is a little different flying experience than y'all are used to. Their expressions are not one of discomfort and fatigue, they are of ingratitude.

#12  To be fair, I'm usually tuckered after a long flight. Though usually I'm packed into a hip pouch, fed pretzel dust and cheap vodka, and have to carry all of my bags. Oh, and I'm sure I'm not the only visitor here to try to make an cross terminal connection in Atlanta in 45min or less.

As my wife said, "I'd expect some crying from our first woman president; but this is embarrassing."

I saw one morning program was bookending the weeping willow with pictures of screaming white children. I guess Obamadorus of Hawaii is just too talented for the morning coffee rubes to appreciate. He is very disappointed in you, too.

#10  Wow B... not so happy. If I just had a $4M vacation to Hawaii on somebody else's dime, I'd look a lot happier than this. Maybe the kids are finally realizing that Mommy and Daddy are useless tools and most of the country knows it.

I wonder whom he thinks elected a pub majority to the congress? Poor, clueless, indolent kaffir. He'll always be blaming someone else for his woes and has now added televised weeping to his shameless repertoire. LTC(Ret) Ralph Peters made the correct assessment on this fellow.

#2  Soooo ... the Norks are playing with nukes, Iran has a massive missile program, the refugees he wants to import are sexually assaulting European women by the thousands and his priority is disarming law-abiding American citizens. *sigh*
