Obama urges Ohio State grads to get involved, vote out (2nd amendment) ‘special interests’ (Congress, impeachment)

[All American NYC]

Facing major challenges to his second-term agenda, President Obama on Sunday urged thousands of graduates at Ohio State University to get involved in the political process and vote out lawmakers who favor “special interests.”...“To protect more of our kids from the horrors of gun violence — that requires the unwavering passion, the untiring resolve of citizens,” Mr. Obama said to applause. “Your democracy does not function without your active participation.”

I guess they'd better vote out the Congressional Black Caucus & La Raza since all Obama does is cater to special interests, it looks like he is calling for his own impeachment?

Fortunately, the youth are turning libertarian in greater % than they are turning statist. Us libertarians truly thank Obama for continuing the war on drugs and drone strikes to help make this happen.

“Your democracy does not function without your active participation.”

Holy cow, our own president doesn't even know that we don't have a democracy. That explains a lot about this administration.

How many of those students in Ohio even know that when the Kent State murders happened nearby, it was armed government troops shooting at unarmed, "peaceful" students?

That would be awsome if the president supported a single measure that would help save children from gun violence.


Since he doesnt I guess what it means is, he just likes dancing in the blood of babies.

How about a little levity?

What does a non-biased source have to say about the story?

Don't you think it's rather pathetic that you didn't even link the site's name yet I still knew it was WT before I clicked?

Isn't the selling of more and more weapons a special interest of gun manufacturers?

It's also an interest (not particularly special) of millions of law-abiding people who want to defend their families against criminals, in and out of government.

The OP provided a direct quote from the president. that quote does not need to be "properly sourced" nor does it need interpreation from some "approved" spin master.


Take the President at his word. Dude hates guns and wants people to vote out politicans who dont hate guns. That is what the President of the USA said.

get over your "source bias"
