President Barack Obama wept openly Tuesday as he delivered a forceful defense of new executive actions on gun violence, a set of modest proposals to tighten loopholes that likely face quick legal challenges and could be vulnerable to reversal by a Republican White House.
The president ran through a list of mass shootings that have happened during his time in office, and teared up as he recalled the schoolchildren gunned down in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012.
"First graders in Newtown. First graders," Obama said, pausing to collect himself. "Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad."

Fox's Andrea Tantaros, the B-list Ann Coulter, claimed the tears were induced:
Fox News host Andrea Tantaros suggested on Tuesday President Barack Obama had used a raw onion to produce fake tears for shooting victims during his press conference on gun violence.... Tantaros said that she didnt buy the emotion because he would have spoken out a long time ago. ... So, I would check that podium for like a raw onion or some No More Tears, Tantaros quipped. Its not really believable. And the award goes to we are in awards season.

Everybody talks about Raygun being for the Brady Bill
AFTER he was shot.
It took the motherfucker getting shot and nearly killed before he could sign on and do the right thing.
Same holds for the sociopath assholes on the right today.
Nailed it.

(21,754 posts)And Obama has been saying this over and over since Sandy Hook. He finally accepted the fact that Congress would never do anything about it and acted.
The thing Tantaros never saw before was balls.

(24,605 posts)PBO was eloquent, passionate, and totally on point. He correctly called out Congress, governors and state legislatures to listen to what the majority of Americans want. He correctly called out the voters of this country to toss out the ones who won't listen.
He called out for courage, but there is none in the republican party and there is none at Fox. All they can do is denigrate and deflect, and in so doing show the world what ignorant shallow fools they are.
