A Question for the President.

Post by Spidey »

So Obama has said he is going to use his authority to put in place some gun control measures that will save lives.

So my question is:

Where were you 7 years ago?

(yes the question is actually for the Obama supporters)

too politically risky(easy answer). Remember, if you lose the election over one issue, nothing gets addressed, and he sort of went with healthcare as the first priority. Also, since that point, we've had some really nasty mass shootings(see: Sandy Hook).

Obama is already downed pilot in international politics. If he will be wise enough to be able to use his power and the remnants of his authority for the benefit of the Americans inside the country, it will be a great success. Now is time for him to start to benefit its people and not to spend their taxes and the nation's reserves in its expensive games in military strategy that can only throw America into the abyss of World War III.

Ok, so 7 years ago he had to worry about getting re-elected instead of saving lives…so what about 3 years ago…no excuse there.

So saving one childs life was deemed too risky. No wonder Obama is a giant failure.

except he isn't and hasn't been. His Presidency has been an extraordinary success on many, many fronts. Get over it, because history will no doubt back that up, and you won't wish to stay a bitter old man about the reality.

remember the post Sandy hook orders(there were a whole bunch of them). You know, the previous round of 'Obama's coming for your guns' that the loony tunes tried to run against in subsequent elections. Man, what are you going to do when Obama isn't President anymore? I suppose you'll translate your paranoid fantasies about 'failure' and the like to Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton(or, maybe Joe Biden?).

No, i don't remember Obama signing any executive order ... let alone a "whole bunch" of them. And when Trump wins the top job, I suspect we'll think fondly of Obama in the same manner you guys do Bush.

Haha, nothing about controlling guns. I suggest try reading your link before using it as proof.
