Watching Obama when he's talking his proposed gun laws and EO's is no different, he is the enemy and I make it a point to watch and see his latest tactics first hand.
Last night's performance, coupled with his crying earlier in the week at his press conference, clearly shows a different strategy on his part. He has gotten nowhere being hard nosed, calculated, and obnoxious, so now he's trying the emotional appeal as he tries to get more of the whiney liberal crowd on his side.
It didn't work last night, he came across as being an arrogant smart ass. He became argumentative at times, and was like a fish out of water when being confronted directly by several about one simple fact.... his new EO's will not stop crime, and would have had no effect had they been in place before recent mass shootings.
Without a prepared speech, he's not a really good speaker. Repeating the same canned response over and over, stammering and stuttering were the highlights of his Town Hall forum last night.
"...support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; ..."
I still live by this oath. I had better things to do last night, so I set the DVR to record. This way I can watch in manageable bites. Yes, one must know what one is fighting for and fighting against.
