Don't you hate when those in political office use people. It drives me nuts when anyone is used to advance a political side and it for sure drives me crazy when children or older people are used that way,
What do you think Obama's biggest regret during his five-and-a-half years in the White House is?
If your guess is not being able to work with congress or get both parties to work together you would be buzz wrong. What about seeing less abortions happening? Wrong again. What about cutting taxes on families? Buzz wrong.
Nope it is "the fact that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns of the hands of people who can do just, unbelievable damage," he said
Responding to a question from an acquaintance of one of the Santa Barbara victims, the president lamented: "We're the only developed country on earth where this happens, and it happens now once a week. ...I mean, our levels of gun violence are off the charts, there's no advanced developed country on earth that would put up with this.
"...The United States does not have a monopoly on crazy people...and yet we kill each other in these mass shootings," Mr. Obama went on. "The country has to do some soul-searching about this."
I won't forget how Obama marched families on the White House front lawn from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting after a bill failed to limit guns here in America. Obama is right the nation needs to do some soul -searching on this issue but the answer is not to take guns away from everyday citizens who just want to keep their families safe. We must examine how we have removed values and yes God from our culture. And yes we must examine how we treat people who suffer from mental illness.
What do you think?
