Obama (yup, him)

[Abbey Marie]

So, our illustrious leader decides to make a gun control speech before these poor people are even buried. Always one to wrench a political point out of any issue.

Could he be any more divisive? It is getting so bad, that I could actually see our country turning to a civil war under his "leadership". Black vs White, Rich vs. Poor, Gun Owners vs. Liberals, etc.

The only time that I can see him NOT being similarly divisive, is if a 9/11-type Muslim attack happens. I believe in that case he would no doubt rush to downplay the incident, and any attendant political bonanza to be achieved.

Another one well deserving of a --
Brilliant observation but and yes there is a but...
My friend, never apologize when you are dead on right. It leads to the "street urchins" to start erroneously thinking that they are suddenly great defenders of all that is truth.
And some of them already have a head swollen to the size of a basketball prior to reading such . -Tyr

Why should you have to apologize for bringing up BO and Muslims in the same thread when you make it about BO and Muslims... no matter how far you had to stretch.

Nevertheless I do have an over/under on how many posts until until someone brings up BO in an pro-football thread.

Actually, no stretch at all.

You're right, my mistake, it's never a stretch around here.

Dude, you KNOW you're letting me know what gets under your skin. right?

Nothing gets under my skin... except ignorance of course. And bad logic, ooh, that's just the worst.

Here's some logic:

I am not everyone else.

Wow, Abbey is a Knucklehead now ? Cool welcome to the folks with some common sense Abbey.

fj you really don't see how Obama is trying his damnedest to pull this country apart anyway he can, religion, race, politics you name it and if it can divide he will use it, all the while he runs with anything he wants as the country is to busy fighting with their enemy.

OOO and by the way I am voting for Abbey to be the leader of the knuckleheads, being as her name is in those pretty red letters.

Abbey's not the President of the United States of America. Holding her to the same standard as we should be holding our elected leadership just goes to prove our elected leadership is no better than Joe the Plumber or anyone here.

I, too, was disgusted that our President would quickly move to stand on the still-warm, unburied bodies of 9 innocent Americans to launch a political agenda.

Nice rant. How bad is it when you can get under fj's skin?

How long should he have waited before making this speech?

[Jeff]

Until the bodies cooled off would of been a good start.

Or how about maybe he should quit the BS, if his laws had passed last year this kid still would of gotten the gun and did the same thing, I don't believe tragedies should ever be used for political gain, but especially when it is complete BS.

The part about memorializing the folks who were killed, anytime is ok. Using the opportunity to make a political speech?

How would you like it if a family member were killed, and then someone gave a eulogy and used the opportunity to not speak about your family member, but rather about politics to his/her advantage? Wait, never mind, you would probably like it!

And worse, this wasn't someone making a private speech at a church or funeral, but rather used to speak to the entire nation.

There is NO time acceptable that someone's death should be used as a tool.
