President Barack Obama will travel to Oregon this week to visit privately with families of the victims of last week’s shooting at a community college.
However the trip has angered locals in Roseburg who say Obama is ‘not welcome’ in the town because the visit will be nothing but a ‘grandstand for political purposes’.
Leading the chorus is David Jaques, the publisher of conservative newspaper the Roseburg Beacon.
‘I think that’s very inappropriate, and I think it’s disrespectful to the families,’ Jaques told Breitbart News.
Never let a tragedy go to waste.
What you won’t hear from Obama is any type of proposed legislation.
Just bash the NRA and Republicans.
No discussion of mental health.
No discussion of missing father’s.
No details on why he was kicked out of the Army after one month.
Just more of the same old, same old.
I agree, Rich. Just a lot of vague language and concerned expressions. The Leftists and the Europeans lap it up. It’s no different from his other ambiguous classics, like “paying your fair share”, and the best of all, “middle class”.
Don’t forget “wrong side of history”.
