Obama: “Most of The Guns Used to Commit Violence Here in Mexico Come from The United States…”

Yes, Obama, and you should have followed that with, “Eric Holder and I want you to know you’re welcome very much.”

RCP:

“Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” President Obama said during a speech at Mexico’s Anthropology Museum. “I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will.”

“But at the same time, as I’ve said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. That can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States. It’s the right thing to do,” Obama added.

You lying “Fast and Furious” SOB.

  1. What a complete bullshit act this current POTUS is…

    He makes me puke with disgust…

  2. Maggie, I’m giving Obama a pass, not just on this but on everything, including all the shit he has yet to do. He’s not the problem and never was. He has simply been enabled and “validated.” The American people, or roughly half of them, are the problem. If you enable a bad man, he will inevitably do bad things, which should surprise no one. This is, in principle, what happened in Cuba with Castro. Yes, we’re talking about a very bad actor, but he HAD to be enabled and sustained by OTHERS in order to do serious harm.

    There were and are plenty of contributing factors, but no real excuses. The bottom line is as simple as it is devastating: there are too many dysfunctional people, to put it politely. I expect that has always been the case, but at certain times the prevailing social norm has been sufficient to keep them in check and more or less neutralize them. However, if they are allowed, let alone encouraged, to let it all hang out, let their hair down and, essentially, be themselves, they will poison the system and overwhelm its defenses, with the corresponding consequences. It’s like what happens with various microbes, which are always around but don’t cause significant harm unless they’re given the opportunity to do so–such as what happens in an immunocompromised patient with AIDS or some other debilitating illness.

    In this country, Judeo-Christian values and the Protestant/Puritan work ethic were long effective in keeping the dysfunctional under control, but things have obviously changed considerably, and we are simply seeing the predictable effects of what amounts to a loss of immunity or a breakdown of defenses. So no, Obama is not the problem, but rather the result thereof.
