Obama Goes BEAST MODE On CNN Anchor For Pushing Gun Grab Conspiracy


"Let me just jump in," Anderson Cooper said. "Is it fair to call it a conspiracy? I mean, a lot of people really believe this deeply. They just don't trust you."

The President sternly hit back.

"I am sorry Cooper," President Obama said. "Yes, it is fair to call it a conspiracy. What are you saying. Are you suggesting that the notion that we are creating a plot to take everybody's guns away so that we can impose martial law is not a conspiracy? Yes. That is a conspiracy. I would hope you would agree with that. Is that controversial? Except on some websites around the country?"



"There are certainly a lot of people who have a fundamental distrust," Cooper continued. "that you do not want to go further and further down this road."

An exasperated and incredulous President responded with a hint of sarcasm.

"I mean, I am only going to be here for another year," President Obama said. "When would I have started on this enterprise, right?"

1. Anderson Cooper really disappointed me on this one.

He seemed somewhat hostile to the President. Maybe his Vanderbilt side coming out?

2. Eeeewwww

Barack recently ate freshly killed moose.

Sorry, I'm a hypocritical occasional meat eater that is conflicted about eating animals.

3. Cows and moose are all beautiful animals.

At least the moose probably spent most of it's life roaming free.

4. Cooper must be cashing a paycheck from the NRA.

5. President Obama handled it well.

At some point you have to show them how ridiculous they are. Reporters have to stop coddling these idiots.

6. Cooper is a zero - perpetuating the trend that both sides of an

issue have merit insures that 5billion$$ of political ads will keep on rolling in..

7. Cooper accusing the President for wanting to take guns from everyone: CNN has really "gone Fox"

8. Obama so wanted to say the obvious.

Gun confiscation or lowering gun ownership rates is impossible. It'd first take a constitutional amendment (nearly impossible) and then it'd require a civil war. At this point in time, and in the foreseeable future, this is simply not something that can be done. Reasonable gun legislation is only possible.

(And I argue that the mental health aspect is the most important thing since half are suicides and the other mass killings are done by mentally disturbed people.)
