I think if the victims families had gone to the local TV station all together and protested Obama's visit, he wouldn't have come. That didn't happen so he came visited and left. Big deal!But, dahlin' not ALL of the Roseburg citizenry felt that way. Besides Obama came to meet with the relatives of the victims, not the few anti-Obama Putin loving fanatics wearing guns to show how "patriotic" they aren't. Those idiots were an embarrassment. to the country.You don't get to dictate what Obama does, and neither does that Republican rag of a newspaper. If the family members of the victims don't want to meet with him, they won't.
Excuse me? Last time I checked, MR. Obama was our employee. Furthermore, it's THEIR town, so that does convey some right for them to say, "Stay the fuck out."
More to the point - one that liberals never seem to get - it's just incredibly arrogant and crass of him.
Would it have mattered to Obama or you if the entire citizenry had said so? And is there any reason why he couldn't have respected people's wishes and brought any relatives of the victims who wanted to meet with him to DC? It certainly wouldn't have been the first time he dragged someone in for a royal audience and photo op. He went to Roseburg just to show everyone who's in charge.
Why did he come? He admitted he was going to politicize the shooting and that may have been a part of it,. However, I don't think the president needs any reassurance as to who is in charge. I believe he thought he should come to this mass shooting in particular because the shooter was a (mulatto?) who killed a lot of Whites. Coming on the heels of his visit to Charleston when a white shooter shot a lot of Blacks did Obama really have a choice?
Then you have more faith in his decency than any of his past behavior warrants.
that statement would only be true to the Obama-deranged loons.
having read your posts, your idea of "decency" is questionable at best
