Obama will keep away from gun control
Play
Upon seeing a photo of US President Barack Obama weeping while commenting on the killing of 20 children in Connecticut, I could not help but recall what Russian President Vladimir Putin once famously said: "US presidents are useless".
Obama might be teary-eyed about the event for a day or two, but as soon as the funerals are over he will be onto a different subject – and as far away from the subject of gun control as possible.
For instance, the day after the mass killing last July in a movie theatre in Colorado, Obama was giving speeches in which he bragged about killing Osama bin Laden.
Smooth move, Prez.
