"My understanding is the vice president's going to provide a range of steps that we can take to reduce gun violence," said Obama. "Some of them will require legislation, some of them I can accomplish through executive action. And so I will be reviewing those today, and as I said, I will speak in more detail to what we're going to go ahead and propose later in the week. But I'm confident that there are some steps that we can take that don't require legislation and that are within my authority as president, and where you get a step that, has the opportunity to reduce the possibility of gun violence, then i want to go ahead and take it."

Fuck this guy, he's bringing shit on himself that he's not going to want.

[Sgt Beavis]

Oh fuck....

I like how the back handed way he just blamed the gun industry for increased gun sales.

The one executive order he did outline makes sense on the surface of it (better methods of collecting data on gun violence) but that might also let them manipulate the data to better serve their needs. I guess we'll just have to see what he ends up doing.

[Pro88LX]

do executive orders expire when his term does?

[Forever_frost]

No, they continue until repealed by legislation or EO

[Sgt Beavis]

No, they continue until repealed by legislation or EO

They can also be overturned or restrained by the courts.

Hubris (pron.: /ˈhjuːbrɪs/), also hybris, from ancient Greek ὕβρις, means extreme pride or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.

Hubris.......I like it. Fits obammy perfectly.

I hate to think about it, but the impact this is going to have on Americans long-term is extremely scary and sad.

Yep, I think a precedent will be set, that is going to fuck us all in the long run. Call me crazy, that's just how I see it. You all told me I was crazy when I said Obama would get reelected, too.

All hail King Obama!

Hell I didn't believe he would be elected in 2008.

Yeah. I gave the American people far too much credit.

Expect nothing, and you'll never be disappointed. Sad that it's come down to this, isn't it?

Can't wait till Biden is running the country. I'm sure his handlers will keep him drunk 99% of the time. It will mean less bs for all of us.
