The Obama administration fired back at the National Rifle Association this morning after the gun lobby mentioned his daughters in online videos and labeled the president an "elitist hypocrite" for sending them to a school protected by armed guards.

The NRA and The Rightwingers ~ as classless and ignorant as ever. Too bad they keep losing the political issues of our day. LOL!— defiore14- Typical silly right wing arguments. All President's kids are prime targets of armed kidnappers, etc. while regular kids are not. Same reason we all do not run around with 100 Secret Service agents running our schedules! — JonKap
- Repugnent and out right lies from NRA.
Some Philly schools have armed guard and weapon detectors. They have been turned into war zones by straw gun purchasers from the south. Those private gun seller criminals need to be stopped.
We don't want our schools to turn into war zones to profit the gun manufactureres.— Seed1 - But its ok for Obama to stand on the graves of children and bring children to his press conference politicizing a tragic event?!?
NRA is right. Obama is a hypocrite and there is nothing wrong with fighting fire with fire.
The radical imperialistic left is just upset the tactics they employed in the past are now being used against them.— Professor1982 - Ignorant one:
You lost an election.
You lost tax battle
About to loose the debt limit battle.
Purveyers of Bush Depression would loose every battle they fight to weaken this nations.— Seed1 - Hey stupid, 0bama said he only wanted to raise taxes on the top 2% (the rich). He just raised taxes on 80% of the country you idiot. He's a freaking liar and Republicans didn't lose the tax battle, Americans did. The Republicans tried to stop the tax increase for most us and you should be thanking them for tha.
And why on earth would you want to raise the debt limit? We are at $16 Trillion, 0bama just added another $4 Trillion over ten years and now you want to add even more debt to this nation. Do you have even the most simplistic understanding of finance and economics or are you still in grade school?— mephisto - Yes because Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Biden, etc. are so nice and never are wrong. Keep drinking their Kool-Aid as this country goes bankrupt. — msvndy
Comment removed.- Keep on drinking that tasty fear mongering NRA kool-aid. You're only furthering their demise into irrelevancy.
— daxtremesolja - The only "fear mongering" here is on the left, lol.
Why else would Obama roll out children at his press conference???
Obama is a farse and the divides in this Country are starting to show with several states and law enforcement agencies now saying they will arrest any Federal Officer try to arrest any citizen for any rules NOT passed through Congress.
Obama and the Dems want a real fight? They could very well get one if they keep this up, lol.— Professor1982 - Comment removed.
- So any president of the USA and his choldrem should no longer have security,ala the Secret Service or other guards? That's what I love about these rightwing yahoos: no sense whatsoever. And I love how they distort the Constitution or say how Obama is destroying it, after 8 years of Bush-Cheney using it as a doormat. — mike l
- Ridiculous comparison.
Average children in the United States are not actively targeted by foreign powers/actors or domestic terrorists to be used as leverage against the United States president or government.
Every president's family has always had Secret Service protection for this very reason. And reading many comments by the pro-NRA people and other zealots prove that the President and his family need this protection.— daxtremesolja - On the money. Obviously, courtesy of these ads, the NRA has targeted Sascha and Malia. (NRA = National Rectum Assoc)
If the ads were about children's safety in school then that is what the ad should have been about. By all means challenge the validity of Pres Obama's position on guns and whether it will ensure student safety. But you leave his children and anybody elses children out of the picture.— nebulus - I agree 100%. I have seen the disgusting ad.
The average kid (for example, my kid) does not have the same potential threat as the President's, which has always been the case with every one of them.
This is the LOWEST I have seen an organization sunk to!!!!— EIK
