President Obama Remembers ‘Biggest Disappointment’ As President | NBC News
I just can't seem to wrap my head around why people are bashing this man. Whether you agree with his politics or not, you should at least respect the fact that he led this country for 8 years. Do people not understand how difficult that job must be? Not to mention that half of the hatred towards him stems from the fact that he is a Democrat and the majority of his critics are Republicans. Politics have increasingly become a game of teams, me vs you, and red vs blue. So while people are playing their little game like it's sports or something, people's lives are being directly affected by these decisions. Identity politics are a cancer on society.
Grumpy I agree with you that our politics has become increasingly (and unnecessarily) divisive on arbitrary partisan lines.
My hatred for Obama comes from knowing he's a very capable man...yet he stood by as our military interventions kept rolling on, as our civil liberties were eroded away even further, as more immigrants were deported as never before, as lobbyists bought our democracy and insurance companies auctioned out our health. In 2008 he said one thing but in 2009 he did another. There's a word for what he did: He lied.
Obama had a Congressional majority and yet was still unable to do even the most basic things.
Yet any criticism of him will get Team Blue angry at me. But Obama is really just Trump without the bombast and arrogance. Democrats and Republicans need to see this and abandon the parties that abandoned them.
We must organize and restructure ourselves as something wholly new.
Grumpy trolls and cowards. They're exactly the class of people the GOP has designed them to be.
You don't respect a person simply because he held office. If so, I expect you to immediately respect Trump for winning the election and becoming the president. No? That doesn't work?
How about this. You respect people if they do things that you value, that you think are right. You don't respect someone because they're black, because they're president or because they cry about gun violence. And by the by, how the hell does he cry about children he didn't even know. Why isn't he balling about Africa where children are starving and dying of intestinal worms? Why isn't he crying about Syrian children? Are they worth less?
He doesn't cry about these people. Why? He doesn't cry about the children shot in Chicago. He doesn't talk about those children. Children in the inner city that die at rates far higher then events like Sandy Hook. Where's his tears then?
+Jerry Rodriguez You have to understand that there is only so much one man can do, no matter how powerful he is. Just like you saw in the video, he wanted to expand on background checks, but for whatever reason, congress didn't. Hindsight is always 20/20, but when you look at the alternative to not militarily intervening, what he did wasn't all that bad, but when we got into trouble was when we tried to stay and nation build and install a democracy in an area where the people are incapable of sustaining one because their religion is keeping them one hundred years in the past. Also, which of our civil liberties were infringed upon? Like I said, whether you agreed with his politics or not, you should at least respect him for doing his best at a job that is quite possibly the most scrutinized positions in the world. One thing that I believe is that he had the nation's best interests at heart, while on the other hand, I'm not so sure about Trump. It seems like Trump's one and only goal is to become more powerful, not to mention that the majority of his policies are ludicrous.
Grumpy I honestly hope that you will stay true to your word with this whole "it's difficult to run the United States" thing, and make the same case for president Trump. Because if you can't do that, your words are just manipulative lies.
There will never be a president like him again.
You can feel his pain and anger and sadness through the screen 😞
A genuin nice and decent man.
The world is a place with too much evil powers for a president like you president Obama. God bless you
Fitam H a great actor and public speaker
You've been decieved
Yeah, he cared so much that he illegally smuggled guns into Mexico and got an American killed with them. Such a great man.
Tommywood You must have been living under a rock for the past 8 years.
Sad the only time he cared was when a white man did it. Not one black murderer or Muslim murderer got his attention.
There is no way you can mock
murdered children, and still be
a decent human being.
What I hate is when an American says a joke about how British people talk, and then some butthurt Brit brings up the slaughter of children.
@@themackie2763 no one said anything about brits your just trying to stir up some random trouble
@@aviation7479 Not saying all British people are like that, but there are definitely some out there (especially on Reddit and Twitter). Not trying to stir up trouble. Don’t be presumptuous like this or you’re gonna be stirring up trouble yourself.
@@themackie2763 OK sorry I misunderstood your comment
@@aviation7479 No worries. Sorry if I sounded aggressive.
Some of those names he read out are names of my students and the thought of them being hurt or killed sent me into tears. I'm a momma too and the thought that something like that could happen to my child sent a lurch in my tummy. I know a lot of people are split on whether they like Obama or not but I like the fact that he admits he wasn't a perfect President. He was human and that's how a president should be.
I agree! My name is Olivia and when he called it I was on the verge of crying. It was like how I heard a close kindred died.
Here's what's frustrating. I'm from Australia, where gun control is implemented. It works. Gun violence still exists of course, but it's INSANELY rare. To those saying "don't take away our guns", gun control doesn't take away your guns. It takes away guns from people who shouldn't have it (teens, mentally ill). Gaining access to a gun is stricter, with lots of background checks. Our last mass shooting was in 1996 and we haven't had one since. Thankyou Obama, you tried.
Gonzalez131 Okay. Once again, gun control doesn't take away your guns. You can still own a gun. It prevents young teens, children, and those with a history of mental illness from buying one. You can still keep your gun, I repeat, you still get to keep your gun. You're still armed.
stephiiee yes but they will make it more hard for people that really need them. Anyways obama just passed a bill that makes it hard for people with disabilities to own a gun like people that are old,cant walk,etc. you think that the government will be satisfied after this gun laws are pass, i believe once they pass this laws this will be push even further not over night but slowly until no one but the federal government can only own guns. The government is more smart than that and its not the guns who are to blame for the crimes. The gun does not have a mind of its own. If the government were that concern about safety than they should also put laws against violent movies,video games,etc. People are influence through this devices and its not the guns fault. Its strange the government allows those kind of devices that has an effect on the motivation the person in contact with such a weapon and allow it to continue and instead of blaming this devices its the weapon who is to blame, Its as if the government wants people to be influence through this devices and put them into practice so when it happens blame the weapon and thus press for more gun control . Anyways if the government was so worried about crimes why are they allowing illegals who come into this country. Most of the crimes are either committed by illegals or people that have connection with them.
stephiiee I'd rather have dangerous liberty then safe tyranny
I totally agree with you Stephiiee, my husband is from Australia and it works. They have a much safer country. It's all about money. That's what it truly boils down to here.
I know several Australians who'd contradict what you say, and I think you know there are as well.
I'm a foreigner and Obama makes America more likable and I wish we had a president like him. Trump on the other hand, makes America look like a weird angry place and make me relieved to not have him as a president.
He Wu shut up
Fight me.
He won because people don't care what the foreigners think, especially when countries like south korea and china take advantage of the us in terms of alliances and trade.
He Wu it's because the media is brainwashing u
He Wu Hillary and the Democratic party spent over a billion dollars to make it appear that way. So it doesn't surprise me that you get this false impression.
As a person of non-us nationality, Obama is the first US president I saw on TV. Listening to his well-delivered speeches, watching him in his self-collected class and confidence, it really set the bar for me in terms of how professional, regal and respected the US president is.
Man that went downhill quick
God friend faithful
explain what Obama let you down on?
@@shadowpawnI believe he is referring to Donald Trump. Trump is the polar opposite of former president Obama. Trump has no integrity, class or humanity 😕
@@shadowpawn he's talking about who came after.
@@shadowpawn Congratulations on being really dumb
Crying for the lost lives is one human nature with a human heart. And obama proves to be a real human with emotions. Human lives can't be measured by monetary value or political value. Those who try to turn the other way are rather inhuman. We the people need a leader who knows the sorrow, sadness, pains, sufferings, to understand better whom he is serving as a leader, like Obama.
I don't understand some people's problems with background checks. It wouldn't take away guns for all people, just people who were mentally unstable or had a criminal record. What is the problem with that? Do you really want people who are mentally disabled and criminals walking around with guns?
+Mycousinsfriend Saiditsreal www.nami.org/Learn-More/Mental-Health-Conditions Yep, totally fake. Because doctors with MDs and Masters Degrees know so much less than you.
Mycousinsfriend Saiditsreal Unfortunately mental illness is not a joke, as demonstrated by you.
Roy Mustang dang why you gotta roast him like that. Many republicans don't believe in disease, climate control, that incest is bad. I'm actually a republican, but alike any group, the majority is filled with loud mouth bad representatives.
Then they will move on the the next law or regulation on guns to pass, and so on.
+Lannister Power +Wurmo Obama or any other Democrats (unless they are completely unreasonable) are trying to take away guns. They are just trying to make it so that people who shouldn't be armed, can't be armed. Other countries that are much more safe then America have some form of gun restrictions, why shouldn't we?
Obama you are one of the great leader I never seen in my life. You are so generous and respectfull that make you a great leader. God will always be in your path to guide and protect you. You and your family are the gift of God. you are made of gold and you shine amongst others. God will never let you down and will always guide you and your family for the rest of your lives. love you 😚😚😚😚❤❤❤❤
Like you are the worst stupid I never seen in my life. Look yourself in the mirror and try to fix your life because you are misable and full of hate. If you a have to attaque everyone who praise President Obama, let me tell you this you are waiting your time. Because as long I watch his video I will always praise him. Seriously I thing you belong to demon who hate someone simply because others like him. You have a seiours problem that's why I said to you to llok yourself in the mirror and try to fix your life because only stupid person like you act like the way you have done by attacking me. His life is better than your which mean you can't compare yourself to him. Fixxxxxx your life demons.
Obama will go down as the worst president ever
Yes Mr. Obama, thank you for bowing to Saudi Princes... Thank you for paying Iran a 2 billion ransom and helping them become capable of building nuclear weapons... Thank you for demonizing Israel... Thank you for leaving our borders open, so anyone can just come into the country unchecked... And Mr. Obama thank you for releasing 5 terrorists to get back one Army deserter who did not deserve to be rescued... Mr. Obama thank you for leaving GITMO open when you said it would be closed by the end of your first term... And Mr. Obama thanks for helping create ISIS and destabilizing the entire middle east with your failed endeavors, in Libya and Syria... Thank you for giving us a failed health care plan... We'd also like to thank you for dividing the country with your rhetoric and anti police sentiments... Thank you for leaving us 20 trillion in debt and helping the middle class almost go extinct... Thank you for all that and much more Mr. Obama... You will truly be missed
My God, you are delusional.
Diesel Hmmm... Obama didn't destroyed the middle class. It was the middle class for voting on People who support the 1%. Big businesses like to have slaves...and people voted for representatives that lobby for the 1%....from the middle class. All because we are not well educated as a country in terms of how the system works.
3:06 One of the ladies in the backgroung when he was speaking looked so numb, in so much pain, it's heartbreaking.
here we are years later, nothing has changed, and 2 teachers along with 17 fourth graders were slaughtered, again.
I’ll never forget when they mocked him for crying and caring about our country. Now we have a cold unempathetic president and people worship him.
@@bosnia7429 oh yeah, I see how unaware you are and how you're brainwashed. Btw, I am an atheist. AND Islam IS a religion of peace. Stupidity is what makes it what it is now. But normal Muslims are genuinely good people, so SHUT UP AND LEARN

@Daniel MARTIN cool. You laughing doesnt make it less true. I could tell you the world was round and youd probably laugh. Doesnt make it flat :)
@Daniel MARTIN lol okay not a dem btw but thanks for mischaracterizing me. Ar you on something or...? You dont need to talk in sentence fragments.
@Daniel MARTIN Are you doing alright? Take a breath homie, drink some water too.
absolutely horrible. can’t imagine being a parent, thinking my baby is safe at school, only to find out they were killed for no reason at all. my heart goes out to those parents who lost their children
He was the incarnation of so much hope. I cry watching this
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a puss.
I remember him crying like that. Crazy. When you think about how the 2nd rule the founders of our country came up with was "we have to have our guns", you realize how old fashioned our way of thinking is.
Nice way of summing up the second amendment to fit your story dude
the founding fathers weren't as old-fashioned or backwards thinking that many would like to write them off to be. They were actually quite educated, intelligent individuals that were more perceptive than the majority of people give them credit for. Granted, you do have to take into account the customs, social constructs, and overall technological/socioeconomic time period they were living in when they laid out the foundation for legislature of the new nation, but for the most part, their writings and the things they studied to draw up such architecture, is more pertinent today than viewing it from a superficial manner and thinking that it's merely old or outdated. I would highly recommend reading some of their own writings/ruminations/musings as well as things such as the federalist and anti-federalist papers to understand the relationships between governmental units and the things that they had studied from previous societies and how they sought to devise and implement a better, stronger nation. I don't know if you'll actually read this comment or take it to heart, but either way, here's to always hungering for more knowledge. Cheers, friend!
How seldom it is to find an educated person on CZcams. Well said. You have my respect
Kevin Mozulay Thank you my good man haha. It always peeves me when people resort to insults and make no intention of fostering a calm, level-headed discussion which could benefit both parties in inspecting their own opinions and entertaining a new perspective that is given with an intellectual basis of evidence. People always say they're frustrated with the way things are in this country but spewing opinions with volatility to others is most certainly the wrong way to go about attempting to change it lol
the second amendment is actually lifted from the British "bill of rights 1869" its not even American in origin
I bet Trump won't even address the country after shootings, hell, he'll probably just tweet about it.
James Burgess I had the same thoughts. I'm not sure I want him to speak if/when something happens. Silence would be preferred because he seems incapable of empathy. He may be the first president to need a National Empathy/Tragedy/Crisis Advisor...
James Burgess yes President Obama did a great job in his hometown of Chicago...I live 2 hours south and everyone hates him, we have the strongest gun laws in Illinois but somehow Chicago had the most shootings.....
your play dough is in the closet sweetie
"Those kids would've survived if they had guns. Sad"
...it's why city and state gun laws aren't enough. Chicago's right by Indiana and Wisconsin.

Hes entire career as president has been one orchestrated event after another. He should be up for an Academy Award. He and the hypocrite Meryl Streep. They're both limousine socialists.
And if it were really true, as absurd as what you said is, do you actually think Trump would have ran for presidency? That is an absolute asinine statement of yours.
Since when has Trump been about the truth in the first place? Oh, and your grammar precedes you. Proper wording is as such; "would have run." If you use a helping verb, the verb which it supports is always in the infinitive form, not the preterite.
Mattsgeekyscience ..... only a fool that has nothing but generalities is going to insult somebody because of grammar. I insult you because you're a brainwashed fool.
We will miss Obama. I can't believe we are getting a clown like Trump.

Brian Griffin What will you miss about Obama?
Cameron Maybe the dems will hand out coloring books also. Six days to go!
Brian Griffin that clown can be controlled by the people if we all unite as citizens we can make America Ours again
One wonders what steps, if any, Trump will do to prevent further massacres.
Every time President Obama visited. a town dealing with tragedy he spoke in a way that no one can repeat at the funeral of the 9 souls who were killed during Bible study he sang Amazing Grace everyone stood and sang with him
We remember our disappointment too.
I totally agree with Mr. President. It's a shame that we couldn't have some more safeguards in place. Background checks will keep guns out of criminal's hands!
Alex Gilson Ha, cia dropping guns off in Chicago.
Background checks were not even an issue for most of the mass shootings that occurred... You do know that, right? Also, the funny part about laws... Only law-abiding people follow the law. Check out the North Hollywood Bank Robbery that happened in the 90s, Everything they did wasn't stopped by laws. From the fully automatic AK-47s to the 100 round magazines to the full body Kevlar... Californias laws are pretty strict too.
It's not background checks that are needed. A ban on military grade weapons would be a start.
So you advocate a completely free market when it comes to guns? Open carry anywhere? Guns available anywhere without requiring an ID? You're okay with convicted felons just walking into a gun shop and purchasing a .38 with NO background check?
Enlighten me, please.
...and Trump should be impeached for being a self-confessed sex offending with senior officials in the Kremlin's pocket. You people are morons.
I saw someone commented on facebook: "I voted against Obama...twice. Now I miss him every day"
@Crius XIV but Fox don’t cut the context to make people misunderstand. They are biased but they evaluate their opinions based on the videos or evidence. But CNN is totally different. They cut the context and make it worse. When people watch CNN, it seems that Trump has never done anything to the country. Lol. That is not only biased, but also wrong to present.
@@tonytran9538 They twist everything to fit their opinions. All you gotta do is watch CNN and FOX cover the same story then do some digging yourself and you'll see how BS both of them are.

Tortoise King better than trump
Tortoise King what care has trump made ?
Tortoise King I completely agree, Obama care is completely flawed.
Tortoise King And you think Trump doesn’t.
- Obama created 8.1 million jobs in his last 3 years of his presidency which was 1.5 million more jobs created in Trumps first 3 years.
- The GDP has now dropped closer to 2% - a figure that Trump called weak in the Obama years.
- Trump continuously brags about African Americans and Hispanic unemployment figures being historically low but actual federal statistics show no significant change since Trump took office in January 2017.
- The national debt is at a record high? Any other country would be in danger of bankruptcy.
- The gap between rich and poor is widening
- Manufacturing jobs are actually declining, despite an increase in factory activity.
- And farmers are still trying to recover from tough times brought on by Trump’s trade war with China.
- And now look at how he is handling the COVID-19. He has no idea what he is doing.
Deb Hammersley don’t blame trump on the virus because it is not really his fault we don’t have masks and ventilators. You know who’s fault it is... the Democrats for not making our products here but all in the way in China. China was a very weak country they were nothing. Now they are one of the strongest countries in the world because of us. We make our product there and the Chinese don’t care about us. They want us to fail. So when we make masks in China they are delaying a shipment so the virus can furthermore spread throughout the country. We are the United States of America and overall this is embarrassing as a country to not have any masks. After this pandemic is over, we need leave manufacturing in China and manufacture back in the USA.
Why do I have this feeling in my stomach that the dislikes came from racist Trumpers? Barack Obama actually showed compassion during these times of tragedy.
Yes they have to be racist, there's no other reason to hate on this video or call him hypocritical. It's because he's black and they're white racists, there's nothing else he did wrong.
kimmysaeedi91 his compassion had no merit. Obama was a horrible president.
henryjw15 Spoken like a Racist Trump Supporting Republican.
MUH RACISM
Ad hominem.
Best president in my lifetime, I was born in 1959. We should have allowed him a third term, a decent and caring man for all Americans; I don't care what any of you say so don't bother with your petty hatred.
I'm from the UK, his politics didn't affect me but I really wish we had a politician like him. Someone focussed on doing the right thing, someone who can speak like they care not like some Ai sent to string keywords together.
Obama is an islamo communist fascist CIA cutout who ordered the murder of children several times in order to disarm America.

Yea...I mean, tbh, i never really paid much attention to politics but Obama had a nice "on spot light"(im saying this because i have no idea what he's like behind closed doors) personality and he seemed like a pretty likable guy.
Im looking at this right after the masacre today in Texas May 24, 2022
to the people who have the mentality of "yeah, those (opposite party) are such a problem", you are the problem, not the other party.
I don't agree with a lot of the things Obama has done in the past 8 years, but it's undeniable that he put everything he could into the youth of America. I really hope Trump will do the same.

That's not why we call you dumb, we call Americans dumb when an American citizen, born and raised in the US, that celebrates Independence day (4th of July) every single year.. is unable to tell what theyre actually celebrating.. that is basic history (for the US at least).

As opposed to a President who reads mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel??
dear lord, it hurts!!
I still weep for those children.
I have to say, I didn't vote for President Obama but absolutely grew to respect him and his dedication to our country. He handled the office with dignity and class. While I generally disagreed with his politics, the spirit in which he led was absolutely American and memorable. May God bless him and his family forever. Thank you!
My thoughts and actions exactly, he was the right president for the right time
Spoken like a true American🇺🇸🇺🇸
SWSportsNest those are beautiful words. I am not american and i personally thought that obama was very good, i can see that it can feel diffrently when you are an american citizen. But the way you look at it is very respectful. I wished more people could look at political diffrences like you do.
SWSportsNest you ARE uninformed.
His dedication to our country? Did you not do your research at what he did to our country to bring it down to its knees before you posted this pathetic comment? He is a high member of the muslim brotherhood, created the Iran deal which is the worst in history, ranked as the deadliest resident in history killing massive olice officers, divided the country racially worst than the civil war, sold us out to Russia giving them 20% of our urainium, turned the WH into a mosque while signing exeuctive orders against all other religions even jailing and prosecuting some, caused the highest unemployment since the deression, caused more people to loose their homes under him than any other president, more people on welfare than any other time in history, opened borders that has caused the invasion of radical muslims that have taken over cities like dearfield MI, TN, NY TX and vowed to take over the US, created BLM now a terrorist group because of their violence and murders per the FBI, created ISIS and is the cause of Russia taking over the Middle East and supplied terrorists with weapons. planes and even tanks, I could go on, do your research! He signed America's death warrent and stated he will take over the US and put all non muslims in Fema concentration camps for no reason indefinitely! And you want more?????czcams.com/video/_KUGRhiCBzA/video.html
I can’t watch the news anymore. I depend on old Obama CZcams videos to give me hope.

Obama Infiltrator!
@@Mine-Finder He was never a leftist. He was a neoliberal centrist. Cornel West called him a Nelson Rockefeller in blackface as he was socially liberal but conservative on all fields. Why do think leftists hate Obama for Libya, ISIS, and Honduras? The real leftists are Bernie Sanders and AOC. Already he's trying to take Bernie 2020 down. Leftists won't do that to centrists. Neoliberal Democratic Establsihment Centrist Politicians would do that.

((...we do know what makes life worth living. The people ...loved and they were loved. They were mothers and fathers; they were husbands and wives; sisters and brothers; sons and daughters; friends and neighbors. They had hopes for the future and they had dreams that were not yet fulfilled.
And if there’s anything to take away from this …it’s the reminder life is very fragile. Our time here is limited and it is precious. And what matters at the end of the day is not the small things, it’s not the trivial things, which so often consume us and our daily lives. Ultimately, it’s how we choose to treat one another and how we love one another.
It’s what we do on a daily basis to give our lives meaning and to give our lives purpose. That’s what matters. At the end of the day, what we’ll remember will be those we loved and what we did for others. That’s why we’re here.)) - President Obama 🔥 🔥

I didn’t agree with all of his policies but we can all agree that Obama tried to do the right thing. I respect him immensely for that.
Agreed
@@sen6430 i think there is no such thing as a perfect president but obama might be the one come closest to perfect. We will see how biden does, im sure he can change things, make things better, im not so sure about what amount or level he can do that, he gotta repair much of the things trump destroyed. Hard job.
@@liandre9035 He got some hard challenges ahead (COVID-19, Economic Crisis, the huge racial difference in the USA, health care, the climate etc etc etc
I do wish him a lot of luck with that. Very hard and HUGE challenges. Luckily he has a lot of experience and knowledge. So I am certain that things will go the right way.
And don't forget, Trump has 72 days left in his precedency. He can still destroy a lot of things and make it even harder for president-elect Biden when he takes office in January next year.
@@robinhood791 yes but noone said being president is easy buisness. Also Joe is known for being able to talk to republicans, to connect and argue with them in a good way, so theres that. Trump will not be the worst thing btw, trumpism is set and nearly the half of americans did not vote for joe they voted for trump. He has to make them like him if he wants to have success in any way.. But im also certain that he will know what to do and we shouldnt be too surprised if he cant take advantage of everything he wants to. But he will definitly do the country and therefore the world good. And WAY better than trump.

I did felt more safe with Obama as president , he had character he had self control to handle problems worldwide like he handled disagreements well with Russia, but trump I don't know is a bit scary I has no self control he looks angry with the world good luck America
Good luck America
When was Russia a problem for him?
He handled the Syrian refugees right, did he? After the entire war that was going on over their, after he didn't need to get involved in. I felt for those poor people and children, but what good is bringing them to them to the U.S. going to do? It would make it harder on our immigration policies by making sure that none was tied in with terrorism.
Obama did an ultimatum with Assad about the chemical weapons and Russia delivered them. Though Russia knew Obama couldn't back up his ultimatum. No way he would have gone to war. He was bluffing. That makes him a bad leader. Obama severely damaged the credibility of the US.
Someone just reply on my comment I said I felt more safe with obama as a president, kyle reply that I sound like a retarded illegal Mexican, you just proof my point that's how trump would behave are you guys related??

@@unspokenbrute you know, that’s a good point. I don’t necessarily think that trump hates the American people or anything like that but to me, it also seems like he wouldn’t be the one weeping over dead American children. He’s just more self oriented than most presidents. For example, those tax cuts weren’t really for the American people at large, it was mostly so that he can keep raking in the profits for his own companies. Or the fact that he keeps denying the effectiveness of masks against the virus rather than trying to help people defeat covid, he’s more invested in keeping businesses flowing so that his hotels take in more profits. Trump is more self centered in things like that and I feel that that is the reason why many people perceive him to not be supportive of average Americans.

I will never surrender my arms Mr Drone man
One of the best us presidents so far
So depressing. I do not think the founding fathers imagined stuff like that would ever be a problem.
Founding fathers were about freedom. Not about taking away people's freedom very much. Founding fathers would be horrified of the government we have nowadays. They wanted a VERY limited government because they feared chaos. You are severely brainwashed by psychopaths into giving away your freedom for more government control. Founding fathers would be ashamed of you and everyone else who thinks more government control is good. Government was never legitimate.
JDS 6621 yes. Yes they would. I bet George Washington is spinning in his grave
The founding fathers created the 2nd Amendment A) In the time of muskets and flintlock pistols, not a time where one person can gun down 22 other people in a span of 14 minutes and B) As a way for citizens to stand up to the government should it become authoritarian, which isn't realistic anymore now that the government has unmanned drones, fighter jets, attack helicopters and tanks
The One Man Who Beat You
Really, please go take a look at the history books again. The 2nd was for muskets? Do you forget about how big cannons were back then? Here's a hint: they were fired into groups of people, killing many at a time. Also, don't let the fact of the other guns that were around at the time cloud your judgement. The reason people always go the musket route, is because they were the mass produced weapon at the time. Now onto the the era of tanks, helicopters and drones (oh my). Again I will refer you to history, hell just use Google. Search small arms against... let's say helicopter. Let me know how that turns out.
Also, try and stay on topic I'm talking about personal firearms, which the 2nd amendment referred too, not artillery
I don't agree with everything Obama has done, but he was a much more wise, eloquent, respectful, tactful, diplomatic, compassionate, qualified, and professional president than Trump could ever hope to be.
Brittany Schneider , You're an awesome young lady. Finally somebody speaks with passion and common sense. God bless you..
Brittany Schneider Obama-care saved my life. I agree he messed up and yes even Obama-care has problems but he fought for it. His decision saved my life. I will never forget that. He was a good man and not a bad president.

Regardless of one's political leanings, it's difficult to deny that Barack Obama is one of the best examples of a statesperson the USA has produced. He is everything you say. I'd hate to think how Trump will handle the next event like Sandy Hook. He'll probably go to Breitbart News and say it's all a false flag.
Brittany, you forgot one more thing. obama was anti american. include it all please.

I was in sixth grade when Sandy Hook happened. I remember the day after it happened, over half the kids weren’t in class. It’s easy now to understand why as an adult, but back then I didn’t really even grasp the magnitude of it. I’d just gotten used to hearing about school shootings by then, and that was when I was a sixth grader.
Sixth graders shouldn’t be numb to school shootings. They shouldn’t have to even think about them.
Being a father who has already experienced loss like this, Biden must have felt pretty emotional that day.
You can see it upon both obama and biden that theyre holding back so much emotion
You could see it on his face, his face almost expressed a sense of anger or frustration along with sadness. Obama certainly teared up and I respect him that much more because he is a real human who’s compassion runs deep and real men shouldn’t be afraid to cry or express themselves; unlike the current figure who occupies the White House, Obama never felt the need to prove his “masculinity”, he respected others, especially women. He’s the embodiment of everything trump lacks or struggles to be.

Gun control will only disarm those who deserve them. The criminals and the psychopaths will still get guns illegally. If somebody wants to break the law, why would they stop what they're doing because getting a weapon would be illegal?! It should be common sense that taking away guns won't do anything. Instead, we need more police to guard schools, theaters, malls, etc., and we need to screen everyone in the country from time to time to determine who and who isn't insane. Don't call republicans stupid, we're the ones trying to come up with solutions that actually work.
It is so despicable and pathetic to use a national tragedy to fuel your political agenda. It's like you people celebrate whenever there's a massacre, because then, it's easier to convince people to get rid of guns.
There must be a reason besides illegal violence that liberals want to take away guns, as it should be obvious that criminal activity won't be affected by gun control.
+wthrill - Here are some articles for you to read:
www.reuters.com/article/us-australia-guns-idUSKCN0XP0HG
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation#Korea
"In South Korea, murder is an uncommon, but serious, crime".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation#Sweden
- Sweden is one of the top ranked countries for lowest murder rates.
Guns aren't being taken away from "people who deserve them". No law-abiding mentally able person is being restricted from owning a gun. Honestly, what is so wrong with stricter background checks preventing those who are mentally unstable or with a criminal record from owning a gun? To prevent anyone from anywhere going to a gun show to make a purchase without so much as an ID?
Republican politicians try to demonize Democrats, especially Barrack Obama, as gun-hating anti-patriots; but in reality most Democrats, especially Barrack Obama, genuinely want to keep the American people alive and safe. So many people have died from gun violence, and yet STILL so many people stonewall any attempt to do ANYTHING to make it stop.
wthrill just look at the example of other countries where civilians aren't allowed to have a gun. Then have a LOT LESS mass shootings than the USA. If not taking away guns implement a FREE mental disease program and do background checks. It's the least you can do.
America Where Did You Go? Wikipedia isn't a very reliable source
MarrTheMarr sure, I'm fine with more security under who and who doesn't get guns, but taking them away entirely is a terrible idea
