From  FreakOutNation:

 

Just a Tea Party girl, living in a right wing world, tweeted this, which affords her the title of dumbass of the day.

 

This is Obama‘s fault. He doesn’t care about keeping us safe. #Boston Marathon #tcot #tgdn #wiright #lnyhbt

 

 

Followed by Mr. Erik “my Head Up My Rectum” Rush…..Faux Spews News contributor:

 

WorldNetDaily columnist and Fox News contributor Erik Rush responded to the Boston Marathon explosions, which left two dead and possibly over 100 injured. President Obama gave a press conference saying, “Today we are not republicans or democrats, we are Americans” but some people ignored those words calling for unity.

 

Via Right Wing Watch.

Thank you  FreakOutNation

 

 

America is quickly becoming a nation of dumbasses.

President Barack Hussein Obama: “Why I’m not giving the Weekly Address.”

Posted on April 13, 2013 by Jueseppi B.

Hello, everybody –

 

Each week, like many presidents before me, I sit down to record a short address to the nation. It’s something I take very seriously because it offers a chance to bring focus to an issue that needs to be part of the national dialogue.

 

But today, I’ve asked someone to take my place.

 

Francine Wheeler is a mother. She and her family live in Newtown, Connecticut. Four months ago, her six year-old son Ben was murdered in his elementary school, along with 19 other children and six brave educators.

 

 

BenWheeler-6

 

 

Joined by her husband David, Francine shares her perspective about the steps we can take to reduce gun violence and prevent the kind of tragedy she understands all too well.

 

 

It’s a message that every American should hear:

 

Weekly Address: Sandy Hook Victim’s Mother Calls for Commonsense Gun Responsibility Reforms

 

Published on Apr 13, 2013

This week’s address is delivered by Francine Wheeler, whose six year old son, Ben, was murdered alongside nineteen other children and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut, four months ago. Now, Francine — joined by her husband David — is asking the American people to help prevent this type of tragedy from happening to more families like hers.

 

 

 

 

This week, because people like Francine and like you got involved, the U.S. Senate took a step forward on commonsense reforms to reduce gun violence.

 

And that’s good. Because this shouldn’t be about politics. This is about doing the right thing for families that have been torn apart by gun violence, and for all our families going forward.

 

But we’ve got a lot of work to do before Congress finishes the job.

 

So if you believe that we can take sensible steps to protect more of our kids from gun violence and protect our Second Amendment rights, stand up and join us.

 

 

Just visit WhiteHouse.gov to get started:

Thanks,

 

President Barack Hussein Obama

 

 

Thank you Mr. President, for an unprecedented approach to COMMON SENSE Gun Reform legislation.

 

While most of Washington D.C. (especially our 113th Congress) runs around taking an ungodly number of “breaks”, you Mr. President, work diligently to get America’s agenda accomplished.

 

Thank you From the bottom of my heart for your hard work.

 

 

thanks

President Obama Speaks on Common-Sense Measures to Reduce Gun Violence

Hartford, Connecticut

 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/live

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is providing rides to 11 relatives of those killed in the shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School so they can attend his gun control speech Monday before heading to Washington on Air Force One to personally encourage senators to back gun legislation that faces tough opposition.

 

After Obama’s speech in Hartford, relatives of seven children and one staffer killed during December’s massacre at the school will travel back to Washington with him, according to the nonprofit organization that works with the families, Sandy Hook Promise.

 

The White House says Obama is going to argue in his speech that lawmakers have an obligation to the children killed and other victims of gun violence to act on his proposals.

Every April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This year, with rape in the headlines nearly every day, we speak out with even greater urgency to honor survivors and prevent sexual violence.

 

We know the devastating the statistics: 1 in 5 women and 1 in 71 men have been raped in their lifetimes. That’s 18 million women in this country who have been raped, and more than 1 million rapes that occur every year. The vast majority of these assaults occur when the victims are under the age of 25, and those under the age of 18 are at the greatest risk. These numbers are real, but they don’t tell the whole story. They don’t tell of the broken trust when the attacker is a friend, a trusted colleague, or a family member.  They don’t tell of the suicidal feelings, the depression, or of the PTSD. And, they don’t tell of the courage survivors demonstrate when they work every day to put their lives back together.

 

Across the federal government, we are working to support survivors and to prevent sexual violence. Last year, the Department of Justice modernized the definition of rape used to collect our nation’s crime statistics. This year, the Department of Justice is working with law enforcement agencies to implement this change and develop new guidelines for investigating sexual assault cases. The Office on Violence Against Women is funding training that will help communities address their backlogs of rape kits and improve prosecution of sexual assault crimes. The Office of Victims of Crime is supporting the development of a telemedicine center that will help bring sexual assault forensic exams to victims in rural and isolated communities.
