Mr. Sensitivity: At Paris News Conference, Obama Says Mass Shootings Only Happen In America

[mudwhistle]

This guy must be retarded:

President Obama held a news conference in Paris, where he was asked about the recent shooting at a Planned Parenthood center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.​

“I mean, I say this every time we’ve got one of these mass shootings; this just doesn’t happen in other countries,” Mr. Sensitivity said in a city that just witnessed horrific mass shooting at the hands of ISIS that left 130 people dead. He added that the U.S. devotes “enormous resources” in preventing terrorist attacks at home and abroad. Of course, that’s a mutual interest we share with our allies. The president added, “We have the power to do more to prevent what is just a regular process of gun homicides.”

So, mass shootings do happen in places other than the United States, Mr. President. You’re at the site of one of them, with the horrid bonus of it also serving as a scar of international terrorism, despite your absurd declaration that ISIS was “contained.” To say otherwise (regarding the comment on mass shootings and ISIS), is either willful ignorance or gross insensitivity.

If You Look at This Chart of Top 10 Nations in the World for Mass Shootings – One Thing Jumps Out

After the tragic Charleston shooting that left 9 Americans dead, President Obama said the following:


But let’s be clear: At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency.

But is that true?


Since most statistics on mass shootings in the world compare apples and oranges by not correcting for population, let’s get a chart that makes sense, shall we?

And since we’re just talking about members of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), we can assume these 34 countries are sufficiently “advanced” to enter into the discussion.


The bottom line: The United States falls from number one due to its frequency of 38 mass shootings from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2013 (which would be number one without correcting for population) to number seven.

by now he should be about two feet high from chewing his feet. He can't leave office soon enough. Too bad he can't keep his mouth shut till then.

Anyone got a wicked throw and can get a tennis ball right between his teeth?
