Everyone has an agenda on what president Obama should be doing. It's absolutely ridiculous. We were heading towards another depression, so he had to deal with that, and many regressives weren't happy because he wasn't focusing on illegal immigration or jobs. He deals with the health care crisis, then many regressives start screaming that he's not taking care of Iran. He changes course to implement a more effective strategy to ease the hell out of Bush's ridiculous ideological war, and the regressives start screaming that he's not properly handling the latest disaster from Bush's practice of deregulation, the BP oil spill. Now it's guns at the mexican border and complaining about what Obama is not doing.

The Republican narrative just flat out stinks. But this president methodically is working through this country's problems, especially those left behind and created by the 8 horrific years of Bush.

You should check your email chain sources better before coming on here with that stuff.
I think this qualifies as close considering that each inch on this scale is 20 miles.

Why is the president pushing for an international gun law that will bring registration and finally gun control to we American citizens? Who is for free and lawful American citizens? Where are our statesmen? Where are our patriots and where are champions for the Constitution and freedom and safety of American citizens?"

You will need to scroll down the page at the link to see the pictures. After seeing them you might ask what Obama plans to do to fix the problem.

Well, as least I am glad to see that the drug smugglers prefer the AR-15 platform over the AK. It shows that they have some sense, even if our president does not.

Dios Mio! How is this possible?

Cmon guys, can't have your cake and eat it too. You want everyon in the US to be able to run around on the street like Rambo, cuz it says so in the Constitution. But no - impossible to speculate anything can leak across the border. Why...That would be against the law!!

Duh.

The weapons are not the problem. The criminals that carry them are the problem. Stay focused on the real threat not the tools they use.

I would suggest the people that sell the guns to the criminals and the people buying the drugs from the criminals play a small part in this.

That's just me though. So what are we supposed to "focus" on.

Oh. ok. Yeah, let's invade Mexico. It is getting out of control down there!!
