"Its interesting to see what gets The Ones dander up, and what doesnt:
Never mind Benghazi. Where was this supposedly righteous anger after Aurora? The victims in that case werent small children, but that cant possibly explain Os dramatically more subdued reaction after that shooting. They were innocent people too; many of them were young, if not kindergarteners. No angry Rose Garden press conferences freaking out about Senate inaction after Aurora, though. Any theories why? Anything, maybe, having to do with when that shooting happened vis-a-vis Newtown? Right: One of them came three months before a presidential election and the other came a month after. Thats the difference. As you watch him point the finger here at supposedly gutless senators who care more about retaining public office than Doing Something, remember that theres hardly one among them whos as attuned to political self-preservation as O. He kept his mouth shut nice and tight about guns when it was his own ass on the line last year in purple states; he ignored gun control almost completely when he had 60 Democratic votes in the Senate early in his first term; and as we know from the gay-marriage farce, he isnt above lying outright to voters about his true positions in the name of getting elected. (Lets not start on the many ways hes followed Bushs counterterrorism lead after selling himself to the left in 08 as the anti-Bush on foreign policy.)"
