Media misses enumeration of Bill of Rights, focuses on tears of Best Prez of My Life

Just a quick note to say, I hope they and their commenters catch up on this: the Second Amendment is only one of ten, and the others have been stripped from the slain.

Corporate media won't because their corporate masters say don't. Slowly but surely it can be accomplished.

He really did enumerate all of the Bill and some of the Declaration: right to worship freely (3 different religions at their houses of worship), right to peaceably assemble, right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. All taken from the slain, all named as having a place in the Bill of Rights.

Gabby Giffords was there with her husband, as were so many others whose lives have been wrecked by American firearms.

And he really did weep when he started to talk about those babies at Sandy Hook. After that his eyes kept leaking.

I truly love this man. He will be sorely missed.

If there is any intelligent commentary on the boob-tube, I missed it. I turned it off when they brought on a clip of Ted Cruz's response. Fuck Ted Cruz. If he ever gets into the Oval Office he will end up ranking with Darth Cheney, imo.

of this very important, eloquent speech.

Pres. Obama is the greatest president we've had in my lifetime.

I, too, think same. I love this president! I am so proud of President Obama and all his accomplishments. Pres. Obama is the first president in history that fulfilled many of his accomplishments while in his first year in office. (Please check it out on the internet.)

Being one of his biggest supporters since the day Barack Obama came upon the scene when he gave that glorious speech at the Dem convention before Barack was well known to America. Something told me right then and there he was destined to become president.
Some historians have named President Obama #1 best in history! Also, Pres Obama was polled by world leaders as one of the top three in the world. He stands at the top with: The Pope, and the Dalai Lama.

And no accident that, for each of them, their power and influence lie in their moral force.
I admire each of them for pretty much the same reason.

The US media shows their ignorant ass again and embarrasses themselves in front of the world.

And Fox News was outrageous- criticizing him for NOT crying in response to "terror", and questioning the authenticity of his tears this time around. How DARE they ignore and twist the truth?


Not giving you a link to the Fox News garbage, deliberately.
But I recommend Trevor Noah's reaction on the Daily Show (which includes snippets of the disgusting Faux News clips, if you can stomach them. . )
