Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises,The image above is from the NRA video recently released, which I've posted below. The NRA has captured the arrogant lift of Obama's chin, which I wrote about here:
for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing.

...Obama's [has a] defiant and arrogant (with the "Mussolini" chin lift) expression. Yet, there is the vacant, frightened look in Obama's eyes...that I've often observed. When intent and action don't jive, something shows, somewhere.It looks like I'm not the only once to call President Obama a hypocrite, although I think I identified it first (I hadn't heard the word referred to him before I used it). My post was related to Obama's eulogy for women, and yet when it comes to putting his words where his mouth is, he doesn't deliver.
The NRA has recently released a video ad where it exposes Obama's attitude toward security for his children vs the security for the children of ordinary Americans.
To be fair, the President's children are in far greater danger than ordinary children, yet, no security in this era where any kind of character is allowed to attend public schools, is hypocritical, and worse callous (I would call it evil).
Below is a quote from the NRA video (the full video below that):
“Are the president’s kids more important than yours? Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school? Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he’s just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security.”
It is easy to be a "champion" of the weak. But to use them for one's gains is the height of hypocrisy.
Obama has armed security to guard his daughters at school, yet he's on a national mission to eliminate guns from American homes.
Hypocrite.
But people aren't sitting quietly:
Thousands of gun owners across America have had enough of the Obama administration’s attack on the Second Amendment – and they’re preparing to take their concerns to the capitols in at least 47 states this Saturday, Jan. 19, at 12 p.m.[Source]I think there's a more insidious reason for Obama's zeal. Much of gun violence and gun-related deaths are committed by blacks, both against blacks and whites. Their guns are illegally acquired.
Rather than target this small, but toxic group of criminals and murderers, Obama has made it a generalized "gun control" issue. He has made it a national issue, rather than a racial one.
Ordinary citizens who could protect themselves from any criminal or murderer, black or white, now have less ability to do so, at least according to Obama's desires.
So, rather than identify the problem, Obama is making ordinary (white) citizens pay for the crimes of blacks.
