no no no no - President Obama's 15th public statement on mass killings

By Jack Brummet

This was probably BHO's best post mass-murder statement yet.  It hurts to say that.  It's pretty long, but worth watching. I've seen so so many he's made. It's a quirky speech, layered in stunned sadness, with odd cadences and full of hesitations, and grappling pauses.  

We have to fix the sickness and get the guns out of the hands of the 1% who are doing us wrong.  Over and over and over.  Don't flame me...this isn't about politics; it's about our soul and our safety.
