See, now This is what a Presidential Tweet should sound like! It's so much better that the rotten innards that blonde Jack-o-lantern currently in the white house is spewing.

I live in Canada. Strict gun laws. Guess how many mass gun related school shootings we have had? None. Zero. AustrAlia- also strict gun laws. Again...guess how many mass casualty school shootings they've had?? None. This is simple math folks. The ARCHAIC argument of "guns don't kill ppl! Ppl kill ppl" is so stale I lose IQ points every time I hear it.

Obama did not pass anything to protect kids either. He didn't want to address the elephant in the room and it wasn't the gop, it was the fact that his party took monies from nra as well.

Do you play dominoes ? Ok, and one day very soon you won't need your 1st Amendment right. As long as you agree to never post or speak in public, we won't put you in prison. A problem exists, yes. You wouldn't solve a problem by removing the paper that it is written on, would you ? It seems to me these children are not receiving the care and friendship of a healthy community. A healthy community begins with trust; trust in each other and not to tolerate abusiveness from anyone. A healthy community is built upon a foundation of equality, self respect, and respect for others. Without trust, equality, and respect, history shows us that violence will only escalate. Our children need good examples from the adults in our society to stop poisoning the planet with hate, distrust, separation, greed, nuclear weapons, and war. Blaming the children in any of these alleged shootings, solves the problem about as much as making all the guns magically disappear.

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO HUNT AND TO SURVIVE. THE GENOCIDE OF AMERICAN INDIANS BY THE U.S GOVERNMENT EARNED US THE EXPRESSED "WRITTEN" RIGHT TO HUNT; THANK YOU. JUST BECAUSE YOUR CHILDREN BULLY AND TORTURE OTHER CHILDREN AND YOUR SCHOOLS ALLOW FALSE FLAG PROGRAMMING TO KEEP YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN IN A STATE OF FEAR, IS REALLY NO REASON FOR YOU TO BLAME THE REST OF US FOR EXERCISING OUR RIGHTS RESPONSIBLY. GET A GRIP PEOPLE. POLITICIANS, TEACHERS, AND COPS WORK FOR YOU. IF THEY DON'T, FIRE THEM AND FIND BETTER CITIZENS THAT DO. WAKE UP AND CHANGE THE DIALOG... SORRY ALL, OBAMA KILLED MANY MANY CHILDREN IN THE PREVIOUS 8 YEARS, SO HE IS NOT A TRUSTWORTHY CITIZEN.

The kids are doing something positive unlike you did in all of your 8 years in office. Please just go away now. Your opinions no longer matter. Obama never had our backs. He and Michael made it very clear how much they despised we low life Americans esp. Christian Americans.

Where were YOU, Barry, when the mass shootings happened on YOUR watch? You may have made some eloquent speeches about the tragedies, but what did you DO about any of it? It's still happening. The TRUTH is, you couldn't have done anything simply because the TRUE issue is being ignored (possibly because of the power wielded by BIG PHARMA). It is imperative to note that three of those 18 incidents reportedly to be 'school shootings', including Florida, involved multiple gunshots inside of a school that caused deaths or an injury. Here is the link to those facts: http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2018/feb/15/jeff-greenfield/mostly-false-18-us-school-shootings-so-far-2018-an/ The REAL PROBLEM: PSYCHOTROPIC drugs are to blame! https://www.cchrint.org/school-shooters/ https://www.cchrint.org/2017/10/10/another-mass-shooting-another-psychiatric-drug/

As I recall the recession didn't start until Obama was well into office. He inherited a functioning economy and nothing to improve it. He spent more time trying to make other governments happy by screwing his own in the process. At least Mr. Trump is focusing on America first an others second.

There is a questionable body count of children under president Obama's orders. So does this website condone murdering families at the hands of mercenaries hired by the US government ? Is that what Obama is referring to when he tells the children, "We got your back?" I am a simple guy. Just make it make sense... all those children, needlessly bleeding in other countries; parents, brothers, sisters, grandmothers, and grandfathers ALL dead. Your website is misleading the population of our country, i.e. into believing one of the [recorded] biggest liars that sat in the white-house. TREASON. Do you take responsibility for all the lives that you are influencing ? When you meet God, will God believe your b******t? You can certainly kill all of us who don't think like you do. When we're all gone and dead. You'll be left here alone with all the remaining degenerates until you destroy yourselves with greed, jealousy, envy, poison, and murder. BUT you can't kill and idea - you do not control it.

Obama needs to worry more about his home city of Chigago which has some of the strictest gun laws in America yet has the highest gun crime rate in the country!! Dumbasses don't realize that bad people don't give a c**p about your gun restrictions and will still get firearms illegally.

Because everything was so great when he was in office? Obama is no monster but he’s the embodiment of a centrist democrat and that’s not good enough to be king.
