What do you think of the "Your American" part at the end of the video you are about to see? Also are we now servants to King Obama? It is pretty bad Obama has to 'exploit' and use little children for political gain. Didn't the White House just slam the NRA for mentioning Obama's privileged little kids? What ever the case, this has shades of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels essence all over it.



Have a look

Now is the time - A letter from Taejah - YouTube


Letter transcript:

Dear, Mr. President
My name is Taejah. I am ten years old. I am writing to you today to ask you to STOP gun violence. I am very sad about the children who lost their lives in Connecticut. I am very sad about the children who lost their lives in Conn. So, I thought I would write to you to STOP gun violence. Thank you Mr. President.
Your American,
Taejah

Here is a link to more brainwashed children's letters. Look at those letters. There is no way they wrote them.

Your obsession with and hatred of Obama is very disturbing. And I would say that even if I were a Republican.

What's disturbing is Obama's obsession of exploiting kids for his political agenda, especially gun control when it is not needed.

And how is he exploiting them? They each wrote him a letter. Presumably they were invited to he White House to be a part of his gun initiative speech. And I'm sure that their parents were in full support and probably very proud to have their children take part in the event. Since it was 20 gunned down innocent first graders that started this whole gun control discussion, it makes sense to have children represented there. Those were genuine letters written by children made to feel unsafe by what happened in Newtown.

Do you think George Bush was reading a book to a class of children (when he first heard of the attacks on the Twin Towers) was doing it because he had nothing better to do? He was doing it for publicity and for his image, just like every president before him. Those children were not being exploited. There were just part of a photo op and to have a story to tell their children.

And to even make a comparison to Goebbels is horrific. He was a monster who did monstrous things. By bringing him into the picture, you only show how utterly incapable you are of having any perspective. You talk about Obama's "obsession with exploiting kids". Name three instances where he did anything of the sort. You are so intent on ascribing pure evil to everything this man does, you only reveal how close minded and obsessive you are about him.

I think it's great that the President is basing policy decisions on what 3rd graders think instead of what the Constitution says.

And anyone that disagrees wants kids slaughtered in the streets and is a racist.

So you agree that it's just fine for the president to be exploiting frightened children to push a political agenda. It's pathetic when any president resorts to using the emotional plea, with the backdrop of children or people who recently lost loved ones to push their political agenda.

Again I ask, how were they exploited? And they didn't look frightened to me.

Politicians have been kissing babies (using kids for PR in various ways) for a very long time now. Is it just now making you mad?

The guy has linked to David Duke articles in the past. Enough said.
