While not surprising given the current political environment of:
a.) Never let a good crisis go to waste
b.) Emotion > Logic and reasoning.

A Citation is always needed in these matters.

No reputable link, and your just talking out yer ass like Jim Carrey.

Aaaah, Bubblehead, I wondered when you'd return. Yubba has missed you.

Heard it on CNN AND FOX and here you go, from one of the State Media Branches, NPR via The White House.

lol I am busy and do not have time to argue(plus it's like arguing with down syndrome kids) as most here seem to lean left but I read the boards once a week or so and comment when I am able.

The worst part is that she was forced by the President to do the address. She had no choice in the matter.

Since when is it illegal for a private citizen to speak in this cou8ntry. Or is that reserved for the Tea Party looneys and the punked up NRA.

Hell no.

This kind of thing could be seen as emotionally manipulative from a certain point of view.

You could also look at when Pres. Obama said that the Newtown shootings were the worst day of his presidency, and so he feels very strongly about this, therefore getting the voice of someone affected by it out there is important to him.

Both arguments are valid, but they are both irrelevant. Nobody who's inclined to the NRA/GOA view on this will change their minds, nobody who wants gun control will have their minds changed on this.

Because it's entirely subjective and subject to pre-existing biases. By which I mean it's standard Bubblehead territory.

I do not fault her as she is emotional and not thinking clearly.The mother of the victim may be a liberal hack but I will not blame her for now and will give her the benefit of the doubt.However, it is inappropriate for the president to allow this as it is exploiting a tragedy to advance his unconstitutional agenda.Like I said, he(they) know they have no legal, rational, or even moral ground to stand in the gun "debate", so they appeal not to the rational but the irrational, the emotions of citizens hoping to gain enough support.They do this on every issue , it is wrong and just disgusting.

That's the great thing here, this is not about opinions, it is about CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS that the Government shall NOT infringe upon.The Federal government has no right to do anything here, especially when the goal is not "safety" but to take a right, which they are not permitted to do. However, the point is that it is wrong to exploit this poor woman or any victim to advance his agenda.
