Okay, let's flip this Obama event/gun toting issue. I want to know something.
 
The citizens who show up at these health issue town hall events that openly carry firearms claim that they are asserting their rights granted them. I believe that they are sending a very different message, a quite menacing and disturbing one, but that is conjecture on my part. Let's, for a minute, take these citizens at their word and examine this. We know, from events that Bush attended for the prior eight years, that no citizen would have been able to get within a mile of him with a weapon of any kind. It's kind of humorous to think that I never once heard any protestations from gun owners during that whole Bush reign.

Here we are, a new president, a new philosophy and a desire to allow the world to see that he is not afraid to allow protest. Not only is he not afraid to allow protest, but he is ALLOWING CITIZENS TO DISPLAY WEAPONRY IN PROTEST AT HIS EVENTS.

My question is this: Do you think that these gun toting protesters will give President Obama his props for allowing them to do what their former president wouldn't allow? Will he be given proper credit for actually restoring rights that were taken from these people by George W. Bush?

I have my doubts that he would ever be given credit for anything positive by these citizens, but again, that's supposition.

Personally, when it comes to the issue of the safety of the President, nothing else should supercede it.

Last I checked barry isn't allowing jack shit. The people have the right to keep and bear arms.

1. Well, first of all, * was scared shitless
 someone was going to pop him, being the likeable SOB he was.

See, that's what I do understand about these leftists. They go about trying to rewrite history so much they don't have a ****ing clue what was real anymore. GWB was a stupid *****. Chaney was in charge and totally evil. Rove killed babies. etc etc etc.

Kerry was a war hero in a war that was illegal. Gore knows. We've killed millions in Iraq. There were no planes.

Some of my fondest "DUmp truths" are the "Ice/Ice cream trucks that were used to stash dead bodies after Hurricane Charlie for Jeb Bush's benefit", "HAARP was the origin of Hurricane Katrina's intensity", and being "Wellstoned".

and any BS TiT "No Shit, There I Was" Story. The new crop of DUmmies can't hold a candle to the BS he propped up as gospel truth.

I was privileged to attend a couple of events where W spoke.

I would not have wanted those well-dressed men with earpieces to
see me carrying, especially after the security they make you
go through to get inside. I am sure they follow the same protocols
for a Kenyan as they did for an American.

Of course, these people did not go into the event, but were protesting outside the event, outside the security area...if they had gone inside, they would not be carrying.

Global warming is going to cause the average temperatures in the US to be in the 120° by the late 90s.

Garden fairies, ghost chickens, etc.

And of course, who can forget this classic:

That tsunami was caused by Bush secretly testing nuclear warheads under the ocean floor.

I don't recall anyone wanting to carry handguns to protest GWB.  The type of people who carry handguns aren't threatened by conservative pols (GWB  being conservative-lite), it's the liberal pols that are the threat to the 2nd Amendment.
