President Obama on Gun Control

I applaud and support President Obama's stance and objectives and speech on gun control. No machine should ever be put above Human life nor give anybody a superior feeling of power. I say this as an FOID card holder and gun owner in IL.


I like Obama's quote on what former and late President Reagan said about gun control.


There are apx 88 guns for every 100 Americans in this country, we are well armed as it is. Too many needless deaths though, our gun culture is inferior compared to Japans, Canada's, Sweden, Israel and Switzerland.


An exception is that citizens in major city's that have gang activity and are not affiliated with any gangs and are in good standing, etc should be required to concealed carry guns at all times.

If President Obama Were A White Man... On Immigration

If President Obama were white and had been playing on a level field, Congress would have passed immigration reform long ago. For now we can just hope that the hatred by the Republican Party for our first black president doesn’t drive us to the brink of ruin—again—as they shut down our government and/or try to undermine healthcare reform, all just to get even with the black man they swore to destroy. Meanwhile President Obama is managing to govern anyway, even if only through executive orders, pushed to govern by extreme means by his extremist and irrational opponents. And his action seems more in keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiving than the bitter opposition to welcoming the stranger in our midst is" Frank Schaffer Also we are a nation of immigrants."
