What is the expression "pot calling the kettle black" the best way to express the irony.

I'm just amazed at the whole thing.

Did anybody ask him about his admin. running guns to Mexico?

The headline is a little misleading, but the issue is that there is a relative handful of people who are consistently violating the law by buying weapons illegally in the US and then secreting them south. These people should be located, tried and if found to be guilty, dropped into the deepest of dungeons. If any of us know of such individuals it is our duty to turn them in. These are the people with blood on their hands and are creating a mindset in the eyes of the general public of hostility toward gun owners. The rest of us pay daily for the actions of these criminals. The typical gun owner in this nation respects the rule of law, the continuity our laws have created, and values the rights they possess. Gun owners are being blamed for the criminal acts of a few who do so for profit without respect for law or life.

Can the United States Attorney General prosecute himself? Isn't that a conflict of interest?

"But at the same time, as I’ve said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. That can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States. It’s the right thing to do," Obama added.

And yet not a single one of his proposals to date would, by his own admission, do anything in this regard. Does no one but us pay attention to what this moron says??? Seems like most Americans have the memory of a goldfish. Idiots!

Nah, the title is not misleading. That's exactly what he's doing, blaming it on US guns. If it was possible to stop every single gun originating in the US from ending up in Mexico it wouldn't make one scintilla of difference to the violence in Mexico. Most of the weapons the cartels are using come from other Latin American countries. US gun stores aren't selling machine guns, grenades, and RPGs. Obama knows this, but as he is a pathological liar who only cares about his desired ends, supported by a bunch of complicit media mouthpieces, he can say anything he wants. But even if he wasn't a liar, and it was possible to eliminate all violence in Mexico, it wouldn't make one scintilla of difference to the effort to take away our guns. Mexico is just a convenient rhetorical tool to advance the collectivist agenda. If they can't tell seemingly plausible lies about Mexico they'll just lie about something else. The left is NEVER going to stop blaming lawful gun owners for the acts of criminals.

"I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will."

"But at the same time, as I’ve said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. That can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States. It’s the right thing to do," Obama added.

In the video, as he's apologizing to MX. he mentions the 2nd amendment as if the constitution is flawed. Followed with "But." 'But' negates whatever precedes it. In other words the Constitution lacks common-sense so he may have to use an executive order to confiscate guns from "dangerous people." So, who is considered dangerous? Anyone with a gun other than his body guards.

You mean like the ones that Holder sent down there?

I'd pay good money to see a headline that read "Obama blames US drug violence on Mexican drugs.".....
