Thank you President Obama!

You have brought the moral argument to this vicious violent insanity!

You brought me to tears!

This country ought to hold its head in shame for allowing this violence and corruption of our free society in the name of guns for all.

Fuck you NRA!

Thank YOU President Obama!!

An amazingly powerful and moving speech...may his words someday reach every American...even the gutless GOP candidates and their equally gutless followers...

Have always loved Obama and will forever be proud of this great man...

We ARE going to change this. They are going to LOSE!

Our society cannot be free when it allows GUNS for ALL!

Republicans have little doubt but that the issue is in their favor. However, in a recent poll, 9 out of 10 polled agreed with background checks to keep guns out of the hands of those mentally incapacitated.
