He is going to gather all the emotions and feelings and manipulate them to push his gun agenda that won't solve anything (a lot like raising taxes on the rich), but it will make people feel better, on the inside. There is nothing wrong with that, a good President should help with the healing process.
But Obama probably doesn't even care about the kids that were killed, as none of the kids "look like him". He will start off strong, saying all the right things that the speech writers give him to say (while getting all the credit for being so brilliant) but watch that turn into a complete exploitation of the tragedy.
Never let a crisis go to waste
Yeah, people called this post low, people called you an imbecile. The people are entirely right on this.
Firstly, well-done on the lack of empathy and assuming Obama doesn't care. Well done on the subtle racism and thinking that just because the kids might not "look like him", everyone can read what you meant, he is hurt by this tragedy and can empathise. Very much unlike you it seems.
Secondly you paranoid f*ck. This is not even the first time that a mass shooting has occured during Obama's presidency. It has happened time and time(and time) again. And after each tragedy both the Repubican and Democrat leaders wring their hands, avoid the trigger-happy elephant in the room and do nothing for gun rights. I doubt this would be different and I'm not sure why you're so paranoid. I wish Obama would finally take action, but he's had opportunities to act on gun rights before.
Thirdly, as well as a startling lack of empathy and paranoia, there's some great hypocrisy to boot. Not sure if you've even left the forum since the tragedy. You've been posturing to eliminate gun free zones, arguing that we should arm teachers, politically manipulating this tragedy yourself. Obama hasn't said or argued anything yet, you've hardly stopped using this tragedy.
I think you've long lost touch with actual reality, and what's actually occuring.
An armed person is the only thing that an stop a mass murderer. Until you are someone else offers a better alternative, you are just banging your head against the wall in a fit of insanity, saying the same crap over and over again, but never even beginning to think about the issue, you just take it straight to insults. why are you so scared to get into substance?
Ummmm, Iliad? Those are Obama's words, not mine. Good luck trying to pin his words on me, in defense of him! You guys who keep taking the time to call me names and slander me, I take them all as compliments.
Politicians, expecially Barack Obama, George Bush...they don't give a shit! They are not going to put their agendas on hold because of a massacre...they are going to exploit the shit out of it. Just like Bill Clinton did on the day of the Columbine shootings. Wake the F up bro
Just one bit of advice for you. Eat out of the hands of a smooth-talking, rich fat-cat elitist Ivy-league educated flip-flopping silver tounged lawyer with political ambitions at your own peril. I don't know how long you have been on this earth, but you should know by now that at great times of emergency and mourning and death is when people are most vulnerable, and that is why we need to stay alert even more than before. 5 out of the top 10 massacres in US history have happened on Obama's watch, during just his first term. But the #1 reason I don't think Obama cares, is because of all the murders he has ordered in the past concerning drone strikes and secret CIA tortures and interrogations....yeah, people develop kind of a thick skin after a while....ya know?
