Barack Obama, the Teleprompter President

During the past few weeks, people have begun to notice that Barack Obama takes a teleprompter with him almost every where. Bizarrely, Chairman Obama uses his teleprompter in even some of the smallest and most informal situations. If you are wondering why Obama is so dedicated to his teleprompter, all you have to do is look at what happens when Obama speaks without one.

Chairman Obama has made some embarrassing errors when speaking off-the-cuff. John McCormick of the Chicago Tribune has written an article about some of these off-script faux pas. Some of the most interesting Barack Obama gaffes are:

• his joke comparing his bowling skills to the Special Olympics
• his "séance" comment about Nancy Reagan
• his "clinging to guns and religion" comment
• the comment about his grandmother being afraid of Black people "like a typical White person"

Barack Obama Officially Has Gun Rights in His Sights

Look at what is on the official White House Web site. This is Barack Obama's official plan for gun legislation. It is tucked away in his Urban Policy agenda.

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

We should assume this statement is carefully worded. Breaking down each part of this statement, one could assume the paragraph expresses the following goals.

• national database of gun serial numbers
• traceable, serial-numbered ammunition linked with a national database of sales data
• ban of high-capacity (>10) magazines for all weapons
• heavy regulations on semi-automatic weapons
• heavy regulation on handguns
• enhanced background checks
• increased waiting periods for gun purchases
• mandatory, built-in electronic gun locks, which require a microchip or PIN to fire the weapon
• outlawing all private person-to-person gun sales
• permanent ban of all weapons deemed to be assault weapons
  

The scariest term in Obama's gun policy is commonsense measures. Any time someone uses the word commonsense to support his position, you can be sure he has some radical plans that he cannot support with logical arguments. If something is presented as commonsense, the presenter is establishing there is no reason for debate.

Your Second Amendment rights are in serious jeopardy. All it will take is one big school shooting for the Democrats to feel obligated to start banning weapons. Hopefully, nothing like that happens, but it probably will. When it does, look for the most egregious and brazen violation of Second Amendment rights in American History. Once these rights are gone, they may never return.

Obama Lied to America About Control

When Barack Obama got elected in November 2008, people across America began to get concerned about the loss of their gun rights. In the weeks after the election, gun stores were filled with shoppers. Guns were flying off the shelves and gun prices increased to match the increased demand. Barack Obama, apparently aware of the Second Amendment worries, came out and said that gunowners have nothing to worry about.

On February 25, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder announced the Barack Obama administration plans to pursue a new assault weapons ban. Chairman Obama has been in office just a few weeks, and he has already gone back on his promise to gunowners. In fact, gunowners do have something to worry about. They have a lot to worry about. The Obama administration is openly admitting it intends to violate the Second Amendment.

Even worse, in the fall of 2008, when Obama assured gunowners their rights were not in jeopardy, he knew full well he was going to attack their rights in 2009. He was just simply pacifying gunowners to slow down the rate of gun sales. He probably did not like the idea of people stocking up on weapons before he could have a chance to ban them. Now that Obama finally has the opportunity to ban the guns, he is starting to reveal his intentions.

Even if you do not care about your Second Amendment rights, you should be alarmed by this sort of brazen lying. If Chairman Obama will lie to us about gun rights, he will lie to us about anything. What rights do you cherish? How can you trust Obama not to trample on them?
