Memo to POTUS: Please stick to your TOTUS. Because when you go off-script, you sound sort-of, well…off-the-wall.
Memo to readers: Strawman alert — Gun-toting right-wingers want guns in kindergartens, and machine guns in bars!
Via Campus Reform: Obama: It’s easier to buy a firearm than a book or vegetables
It’s easier to buy a gun than a book or fresh vegetables in some neighborhoods, according to President Obama who spoke at a townhall at Benedict College on Friday….
“As long as you can go in some neighborhoods and it is easier for you to buy a firearm than it is for you to buy a book, there are neighborhoods where it is easier for you to buy a handgun and clips than it is for you to buy a fresh vegetable, as long as that’s the case, we’re going to continue to see unnecessary violence”
….“In some places it goes the opposite direction,” Obama also said. “People say we should have firearms in kindergarten and have machine guns in bars….”
And, of course, the inevitable mocking on Twitter:
@charliespiering how about a 7 day waiting period to buy onions and carrots? I used to throw potatoes at my brother, r they assault veggies?

@K_Schallhorn @Gabby_Hoffman buying a gun is easier than buying vegetables per BHO. The waiting period on broccoli is brutal.

@charliespiering Got a tough decision at the store today – should I get a random hand gun or some random vegetable.

Background checks have been in place for a very long time. Sandy Hook was done with 2 handguns, but the govt went after AR-15 calling it an assault rifle. I’ve owned guns all my life, never once have any of them ever got up and walked out of my house and went on a rampage. The problem isn’t the guns, it’s that unstable people get their hands on them and go on a rampage. In Sandy Hook case, the shooter killed his own mother, stole her car and guns, and went on a rampage. About Sandy Hook, why was the school almost completely empty at the time of the attack?
Gotta love the twitters! Good-ole red-blooded Americans have more sense and humor than the mentally challenged legacy media when it comes to OBummer. Trust, they will be out there twisting in a knot to make this tripe sound plausible.
Obama’s message is for the Low Information Voters–the mob. No doubt Gabby Giffords will email us on this very subject, and drive millions to call their Senators and Congressmen and persaude them to destroy us,
