Tempers boiled over online when President Barack Obama chose to incorporate his gun control agenda into his remarks at a memorial service for the five police officers killed in Dallas last Thursday.
After listing the underfunding of government social programs and schools as part of the problem, Obama said, “We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book.”
The response to Obama’s words on Twitter was prolific. Radio talk show host and gun rights supporter Dana Loesch tweeted:
Obama was actually giving a great speech before he turned it into a partisan political lecture on gun control, race, and policing.

Michelle Ray shared Loesch’s assessment:
America is racist and we need gun control. @Potus is incapable of even the most common decency.

As a child I’d walk to the library for a Dr. Seuss book and I had to make my way past dozens of glock salesmen.

Obama wrote his own speech today, according to the White House.

As reported by Western Journalism, the president has also been criticized for spending a significant portion of the speech sharing his views on racism in America.
“And so when African Americans from all walks of life, from different communities across the country, voice a growing despair over what they perceive to be unequal treatment; when study after study shows that whites and people of color experience the criminal justice system differently … we cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers or paranoid,” Obama said.
“We can’t simply dismiss it as a symptom of political correctness or reverse racism. To have your experience denied like that, dismissed by those in authority, dismissed perhaps even by your white friends and coworkers and fellow church members again and again and again — it hurts,” he added.
Knew before he ever spoke he would puse his gun gend.so sorry police and their families had to put up with him at such am hurtful time. Where are the blue lights at the white house
There’s an old expression (which we’re not allowed to use anymore): “He wouldn’t be happy if you hung him with a new rope.” Obama’s the President of the Fucking United States of AMERICA. What more does the son-of-a-bitch want from us? He could be the King of the World and he’d still be pissing and moaning about racial inequality. This is the attitude that made the word “nigger” an actual epithet.
its easier for a bad leader to lie then to tell the truth.
Of course his opening the orders bystopping border patrol from doing its job hurts no one, Neither does hisranting about gun control or how only blacks are picked on by polie.Or his telling BRITISH politicians that Britain should stay in the Euroean unin or they will go to the back of the line for trade with AMERICA.All in all aleader of the worst quality likes to lead from the rear.
Kill anyone that uses a gun on a police officer. Kill everyone that uses a gun to harm anyone.This law will stop most of the gun shootings in Baltimore, Chicago and any city that has a high rate of killings. If BLM , actually cares they would vote yes on that.
What Obama wants is not equality but black supremacy in America.
Obama has never been a poor, underprivileged white/Native American, living in the worst neighborhood in Chicago’s North side.
The blacks got books I couldn’t afford, instruments that I had to borrow from school, jobs I trained them for (I was not a supervisor) and I had to do most of the work because they couldn’t understand how to read a ruler or procedural directions.
Tell me again how I had it so great. I was called hurtful names by the blacks. They called me fat, a cracker, honkey or whitie. Yeah, good times those.
TURN YOUR EVIL WAYS TO GOD, WHO IS IN CONTROL, REPENT, AND HE WILL TURN YOUR WORLD AROUND, READ THE BIBLE, NOT THE TELEPROMPTER, AND UH, AND UH , AND UH AND UH ! YEAH, THAT’S A GOOD ONE UH UH UH!
Disrespectful douche bag this was a memorial for the officers who were savagely murdered and he makes it about gun control I will be glad when this jackass is out of office
