Obama is a politician and wants to be reelected. That's why he won't touch this. He also knows that Congress would never pass any new gun control, so it's not worth wasting political capital on the subject. Apparently, Uygur needs to study the American political system some more.
Why does he need to study anything? He could understand and agree with what you said about the political capital and still be "tremendously disappointed." He didn't say surprised, he said disappointed.
My disillusionment with the prez came gradually but I'd say by a year ago it was complete.
“It’s not about taking away their guns, that’s not what we talking about- we are talking about taking away their magazines. Why won’t they let us take things away from them???”
Just so. Take away a little here and a little there, and eventually, everything is gone.
Mikeb302000,
If Uygur is disappointed, then he had unrealistic expectations. Gun control isn't going to happen in the country at the moment. Who knows if public opinion will change, but it's not on your side right now.
Regarding Obama, I beat you to losing any hope for him when he voted for the bailout as a senator. Anyone who talks about hope and change, while handing money to Wall Street is nothing but lies and promises.
Yawn. We already know that guy is a moron, we didn't need more proof and his wining about "33 bullets".

When you're right, you're right. Greg, in spite of our disappointment in Obama, you can't really go for any of those Republicans, can you?
