Barack Obama offered condolences today to the victims of the Aurora Theater shootings the best way he knows how – by talking about himself.
The president used “I”, “me” or “we” over 20 times and used it as an opportunity to talk about himself and his family.
Here’s part of his speech today:

My daughters go to the movies. What if Malia and Sasha had been at the theater, as so many of our kids do every day? Michelle and I will be fortunate enough to hug our girls a little tighter tonight, and I’m sure you will do the same with your children. But for those parents who may not be so lucky, we have to embrace them and let them know we will be there for them as a nation.

So, again, I am so grateful that all of you are here. I am so moved by your support.

And you’re surprised?

    He couldn’t stop thinking of himself long enough to even offer his condolences to the victims or their families.

    “senseless” and “beyond reason,” adding, “We may never understand what leads anybody to terrorize their fellow human beings…

    Nonsense. Of course we know what motivates some of these atrocities, it’s the enabling attitudes of the political left, the stoking of envy, jealousy, and discontent by community organizers that take an angry mob of people into a bank lobby and demand low interest loans be made to people who have no money. Of course many of those loans then go to the very movement leaders who organized the angry mobs in the first place.

    It’s the class warfare rhetoric of Obama and his leftist party loyalists who blame the rich for someone’s dire circumstances. It’s the rhetoric of leftists who insist that education is every man’s right and once educated to government standards that individual then has a right to employment at a ‘living wage’. Never mind that a ‘living wage’ is never enough no matter how high the pay scale.

    Now we have to sit and listen to these same leftists tell us that government can protect us, that police departments are only minutes away, that if only government agents had the power to disarm everyone, that these atrocities would never happen. Unfortunately, government agents never seem able to actually disarm the criminal, or the terrorists. But what Obama wants us all to believe is that we are defenseless sheep who can not defend ourselves, that our best strategy is to run away and hide.

    The truth is, our self defense is our own responsibility. These atrocities would be over in 30 seconds if we were not a nation of cowards who have been trained to let our superiors do our fighting for us. It then becomes a situation where our superior’s use the power of government to destroy their enemies rather than protect us from people who would do us harm.

    We need to regain our courage, learn to defend ourselves and stop waiting for government to come to our rescue.

    Did anybody bother counting the number of I’s and we’s in Romney’s speech?

    I don’t know, and I don’t care; my point is that articles like this are NOT NEWS, and serve no purpose other than to incite readers.

    If I didn’t know better, I’d say the GP are actually trying to perpetuate the “crazy right wing loon” stereotype.

    “Batman Movie Shooter Told Police: I’m The Joker”…
    Or, as d-cRAT puppet Brian Ross of the A(lways)B(iased-socialist)C(lowns) network will report it: “He told the police, ‘I’m a tea partier’.”

    Not letting a tragedy go to waste. Always looking to score political points, regardless of how tawdry or cheap.

    My guess is that this has nothing to do with politics. Like the Arizona rep shooter, the guy is probably psychotic.

    Sadly, we should be grateful that this time, there were no shout outs, no t-shirt giveaways and no Navaho shaman. So his performance is actually improving.

    Get well to the wounded and our sympathy to the ones who lost someone.
