Obama is thoroughly pissed off over the senate decision
and rightly so.

A bit of law crafted bipartisan and supported by 90% of the US populace and passed by a majority of the senate gets shot down by a few obstructionists in senate.
America is fucked up.

Re: Obama is thoroughly pissed off over the senate decision
Concur. But it is lose-lose for the GOP. They don't want a bill to pass, but with so much public support for it the Democrats will slap them around with it from now through the midterms at a minimum.

Poor petulant, lying baby.
The Senators and the Representative belong to us--the citizens. They work for us not the President. Obama's only role is to sign or veto bills. He's not entitled to any outcomes just because he wants them.
He needs to spend some more of our tax dollars on a party to feel better.
Someone needs to tell Biden to pull in that lower lip before it gets stepped on.

Yeah, you're right. Background checks are a terrible idea. Brilliant.

And I note that the proposal was defeated not on a simple majority, but because it didn't get a 60-40 majority.

Also, that's petty, but I personally feel that anything that is a personal defeat for Sen Feinstein can't be completely bad.

Re: Obama is thoroughly pissed off over the senate decision
WOOHOO!!!!
Score one for rights and Liberty!
The title of this thread should be, "Obama pissed off says, 'This isn't over.'"
Which ironically, is exactly what he would be saying even if he got what he wanted. Since, as some liberals have foolishly admitted, the left's endgame is complete confiscation.

Well, congrats. Savor it while it lasts, because all shit like this will accomplish is to turn people like me who aren't anti-gun, against you. I mean, what the hell is wrong with background checks?

We have a Republic here, a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, to protect us from the tyranny of the majority, who wish to take our rights and Liberty away by passing some feel-good, bullshit laws because they are scared. Fuck those foolish idiots.
The Good prevailed today.
If you actually believe that 90% figure... that makes me laugh.

Other than the ones we already have. I've submitted and passed every one I've ever had for every gun I've ever bought.

Why do you persist in using bogus and false--AKA lying--stats? It was never true that 90% of the populace wanted or supported the Bills that went down today.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
