He may have been ‘crying’ on the outside, but on the inside the devious mind of Barry "Almighty" was already hard at work trying to come up with just the right way that he can now exploit, without looking like he’s exploiting, of the death of these children in order to bring about the level of gun control that he seeks. He is bothered no more about these dead children than he is by a cloudy day. He’s a political animal, and if these deaths will assist him in his quest for a national gun control policy, well then, all the better.
In addressing a stunned nation on Saturday, Barry said he grieved for the children and teachers massacred in Newtown, Conn., declaring that "every parent in America has a heart heavy with hurt." Barry, in addressing the tragedy for the second time since the violence erupted on Friday, sympathized with the families of the dead and said he and his wife, Michelle, "are doing what I know every parent is doing - holding our children as close as we can and reminding them how much we love them."
Barry spoke Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address. Republicans, who typically also give an address, ceded their time so that Barry could speak for the nation. The carnage was carried out by a man who killed his mother at home and then massacred 26 people, including 20 children, at an elementary school in Newtown where she taught, authorities say. The shooter is said to have then committed suicide at the school, cheating of ever being able to find out, why, why he felt the need to commit such a heinous act.
Barry's remarks were similar to ones he delivered emotionally from the White House briefing room Friday afternoon. Barry paused and wiped his eyes as he spoke Friday, just hours after the shootings. And the ‘real’ Barry popped to the surface, if only briefly, as ee reiterated his appeal that, "regardless of the politics," it was time for the country to join together and "take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this." But neither he nor his aides have specified what action that might entail.
Barry has always supported reinstating a ban on military-style assault weapons but has not pushed Congress for such legislation. Gun-control activists, however, promptly renewed their demand for new and much more restrictive gun laws. The most prominent was Mr. ‘Nanny-State’ himself, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who declared pointedly in a statement: "Calling for 'meaningful action" is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before." This coming from the same loon who wanted to ban large soft drinks.
And in a move that comes much more out of politics than any actual grief, Barry will attend an interfaith memorial service today, Sunday, in Newtown, Conn., the site of Friday's deadly elementary school shooting. Ya know, during this last campaign, I lost track of the number of times that Barry said that "trust" was important. And that while we couldn’t trust Mitt Romney, we most certainly trust him. Well, I don’t trust Barry and I never have. I mean how can you trust someone who has done nothing but lie to you since before winning the election in 2008? And now suddenly we’re just supposed to believe that all of this sorrow is somehow real, and not some Clinton-esque attempt by him to convince us the he actually feels the pain of these grieving parents? No, I don’t think so, because in order to feel grief, you first must have a soul.
