Tomorrow Obama is expected to announce sweeping gun-control proposals and his backdrop will likely be children who have supposedly written him letters after the elementary school massacre. Ugh. Typical Democrat tactic. He might as well just point to the children and say “do you want these children to die?”

They haven’t announced the gun-control measures specifically, but are saying it includes “an assault weapons ban, universal background checks and limits on the number of bullets that ammunition clips can hold.”

WAPO – President Obama will unveil a sweeping set of gun-control proposals at midday Wednesday, including an assault weapons ban, universal background checks and limits on the number of bullets that ammunition clips can hold, according to sources familiar with the plans.

The announcement, which press secretary Jay Carney said is scheduled for about 11:45 a.m. at the White House, is also expected to include a slate of up to 19 executive actions that the Obama administration can take on its own to attempt to limit gun violence.

The White House has invited key lawmakers as well as gun-control advocates to appear at Wednesday’s policy rollout, according to two officials who have been invited to the event.

Joining Obama and Vice President Biden for the announcement will be children from across the country who wrote Obama letters after last month’s elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Carney said.

Carney declined to provide details on the administration’s gun proposals, and he acknowledged that there are “limits” to what Obama can achieve through executive action alone.

“I will not get ahead of the president in terms of what his package of proposals will include,” he told reporters Tuesday. “I will simply note that the president has made clear that he intends to take a comprehensive approach.”

Regarding executive action, Carney said, “It is a simple fact that there are limits to what can be done within existing law, and Congress has to act on the kinds of measures we’ve already mentioned, because the power to do that is reserved by Congress.”

Cuomo waves his hands and with a shrill voice attempted to show his concept of Adolph Hitler Jumping on gun owners like Hitler jump on the Jews! after listening to him speak and examining his stance I concluded that it was not and act but his own wish to follow in the footsteps of the dictator he was trying so hard to be!

Both Obama and Cuomo have sworn to uphold the constitution in their oath of office. Now, they are both guilty of Treason!

Obama surrounded himself with children when attacking the Second Amendment but not when he is defending their mothers right to kill them! Make believe compassion for the victim of Newton but none for the 50 million killed by abortion? It seems he can turn it on and off according to his agenda! When does 20 children being killed represent a horrendous and tragic waste of human life and the death of nearly fifty million is considered a right?

Obama reads children's letters. 3rd grader says "I think it's terrible.....".

News Flash, 3rd graders seldom use words like "terrible". Anybody going to tell me these letters aren't 'coached'?

Compare Dear Leader's image with the companion picture of Sadam Hussein holding the little English boy hostage.

Other than skin tone - not much difference!

also i might add that it is wise not to use liberal "framing" words like "gun violence" or "gun control" because these liberal phraseologies intentionally evoke a negative connotation into the whole gun issue. but use the same liberal/leftist tactic by using our own "framing" words like "gun grab" to evoke and raise the spectre of mr. obama's socialist government infringing on the rights of freedom-loving americans.

Somebody should ask the children's parents how they feel about the President saddling their kids generation with trillions of dollars in debt? You think anybody in the media would have the guts to do that?

If the president plans to surround himself with children as a back drop for his announcement of gun control measures...Then who paid too have all of those children, and immediate family members, for this rather obvious political move? Tax payers?

only fools would believe for a moment that truly those children wrote obama those letters. the white house thinks such display would convince the people to their cause since liberal fellow travelers do think it is brilliant. i guess the self-congratulatory stupidity of the liberals never ceases to amaze me. when the names of the children are announced perhaps an enterprising conservative investigative journalist should do an investigation who are the teachers and parents of these children and expose the whole charade. Conservatives should fight the deceit, propaganda and the liberal agenda with all the weapons available and that includes exposing such devious trickery by outing the perps , shaming them ( if that is even possible) and discrediting or marginalizing them the way liberals do albeit mendaciously with conservatives.

Kids wrote him letters? Only because their commiecrat teachers made them.

You don't actually think that the Obama 'machine' selected letters (allegedly) written by children with conservative parents do you? ;-)

Zero is shamelessly using children to shove his authoritarian agenda down the throats of the American citizenry. He is just employing the tactic that his good buddy, friend, and current Mayor of Chicago spoke about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs6TgitlNIA

Zero will no doubt play on the heart strings of the people. No doubt he will parade around as many children as he can while he tearfully reads the heartfelt pleas of children who want guns to go away and not hurt people anymore. This is what will predictably happen. Too bad the children are so young that they don't know Zero is robbing them of their future with all the ruin he is bringing upon the country, economically and otherwise. Too bad they don't know that Zero supports the terminating of children before they are born. Too bad Zero allowed his Attorney General to give guns to people in another country, guns that were used to kill hundreds of innocents:

I remember when he signed ObamaCare into law. He had all those doctors around (that he had to provide white coats for to make them look like doctors). Will he do the same with these children and offer to give them all blood-drenched clothes to wear? This is absolutely disgusting what he does to promote his own agendas.

We need to stop this man before he destroys everything this nation stands for.

Usually this coward uses women to protect him but since this is his second term and he doesn't need the "women's vote" anymore they are not around so he's going to use "the children" as shields.

He really thinks all people are as gullible as the ones who voted for him.

I was gonna write the same, exact thing.

Today's comments by everyone are quite instructive. A few years ago, I'm guessing Scoop would have had us delete or ban people for "over the top" statements about Obama's actions. Now we're at the point where outright rebellion is brewing, and you simply can't expect people to stifle their observations of what has now become obvious.

Not that I want to see a bunch of crazy talk. But you know what I mean.

I could name some names of children in Philly shot in street crossfire, and many in Chicago, too I'm sure.............did they write letters to that man and get invited to be in the propaganda speech- what a farce!

Seriously We should be watching the other hand right now, IMHO the NRA will handle this issue of gun control as usual in par exellance. We have the backing of our constitution in our own home to protect our possessions and family.

So, What's happening in Mali, Benghazi, Israel, Syria and the economy that needs this diversion?

No, Obama is using childre, liberal's children, as human shields. What a pathetic individual! Any federal representative attempting to prosecute this BS will be charged with a felony in Texas and, of course, the courts will overthrow Obama's idiotic posturing.

One can only pray that this entire Islamic party at current is subject to the fullest extent of the law they have tallied and bullied towards the rest of us. That they are made to face for they're inhuman acts. That in the near future we, as a people can see to it that something of this nature never happens again, until the Lord say it is so. At which time we will not be aware of what's happening to us anyway. Having said that i pray with my heart that these tyranistic domestic terrorist criminals sit in the most secure Federal prison while awaiting execution by hanging or firing squad.

There will never be as many guns in the hands of Americans nor as much ammunition above ground as there will be tomorrow at noon, EST.

I think of Jan 16 2013 as the last best chance for the Americans, as a people.

Beyond that, it will be every man for himself, like it has always been.

I think Obama should promise to the children that he will stop delivering heavy weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood, drug cartels and Al Qaeda, because these guys will not only kill children, but all of us......

He will do it and the public will do nothing. The "public" is not what is used to be - "Americans". Mass immigration, plus the education/media/government complex has created, whipped, feminized men who no longer understand or even like the American Founding and it's principles.

Barry Soetoro is a life-long Marxist and Muslim. Nearly everyone, repeat, nearly everyone he knew growing up was either a Marxist or a Muslim.

Gee, curious how his policies favor Marxism and Islam. Just saying.....

I wish Republicans would realize that Obama lives to defeat his enemies, the GOP. Everything else -- policy accomplishments, legacy, good governance -- all exist at a far lower level of importance than screwing Republicans and getting Democrat control of the House. He's an Alinsky follower from Chicago -- that defines him.

I wonder if those poor kids know that about 70-75% of their income will go to the government to pay for government goodies when they grow up. That is, if they can find work. And that still won't get us out of debt.

That's a whole lot different issue. Bush was signing for not using embryonic stem cells for research when it was proven adult stem cells were making breakthroughs. Bush was pro life.

Dear leader doesn't mind dead babies- if it protects abortion. He doesn't mind if a baby born from a botched abortion dies alone in a garbage can if that will protect a woman's "choice" - but forbid he allows people to have their 2nd Amendment rights which is blatantly written out in the Constitution and the Founder's intent that the government SHALL NOT infringe upon it and for dear leader to use kids to infringe upon it while allowing kids to die every damn day- is disgusting.
