President Obama after Oregon shooting: “Our thoughts and prayers are not enough.”
Hours after today’s massacre in Oregon, President Obama took the podium for the 15th time after a mass shooting. Sounding stern and appearing frustrated, Obama challenged Americans to respond more forcefully to this shooting. His full, impassioned statement is one every American needs to hear.
This poor man is just so…done. He can’t change laws by himself, he isn’t a dictator (despite right wing fascist talking points to the contrary) and he has tried several times to get bills passed in congress…
But Republicans in the house are bough and paid for buy gun manufacturers so that’s a no-go obviously.
America used to respond to shootings. The people want sensible gun control. The Right Wing has abdicated to gun manufacturers, and the Left do not have the votes. We are a victim of GOP congressional cowardice.
