However, it not only demonstrates his lack of domestic leadership, but also demonstrates the source of his failure in foreign policy. He doesn't know what to do to maintain stability in volatile regions. He is either incredibly evil or incredibly stupid. There's not much of a middle ground that adequately explains his actions in general. Shedding a tear on camera leads me think it's the latter.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-37193124485342575352016-01-07T14:18:50.562-05:002016-01-07T14:18:50.562-05:00There's no doubt that Obama has a double stand...There's no doubt that Obama has a double standard. But that's consistent with political elites who believe gov't should have a monopoly on the ownership of firearms. <br /><br />I doubt Obama is a good enough actor to cry on cue. Maybe Bill Clinton. <br /><br />Moreover, Obama seems to pride himself on his rationality. I doubt he wants to publicly expose himself as emotionally vulnerable. That's out of character with his carefully cultivated self-image. So I don't think that was premeditated. <br /><br />Yes, liberals believe in social control. They distrust the general public. <br /><br />And, yes, there's no doubt that he's been building a case. However, liberals really do have a pathological hatred of private gun ownership. They've convinced themselves of the virtue of their cause. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-41905892093019811982016-01-07T07:05:07.465-05:002016-01-07T07:05:07.465-05:00I think it is giving him too much credit by saying...I think it is giving him too much credit by saying he is deluded. Otherwise, why does his secret service carry? He knows that attacks such as Fort Hood for example could had been prevented if soldiers were able to carry. It is all intentional to create chaos and thus implement his transformational plan of disarming Americans so the government has total control. Alan E.
