Barack Obama's opinion on Virginia Tech Shootings

[Undertovv]

Im gonna tell you that, its a niggers dream to see an asian guy go postal. Niggers dont like asians because the majority of asians side with whitey. Hence it doesnt help them in their "FIGHT" against racism in america. But believe it or not, this massacre had alot to do with racism even though its not clearly out in the open.

[AllRitten]

your fuckin retarded

[MUZIKLUVA420]

yea he is a fukin retard dummy

[agelicapuru]

the world new peance and people was who can fight for it so SR Obama is the one we need so pls america people put strong security to guard SR OBAMA b4 he bc pre'dent (i don't want that they should kill him ,the way i'm seeing things thanks u people )

[keyboardplaya]

He did a great job of playing it safe, and not coming up with a bunch of theories about Seung Hui Cho's motives, but I do wish he mentioned at least a little bit about mental illness and bullying in schools. Even though the Virginia Tech students didn't pick on him, he was picked on through grade school, and he obviously wasn't able to get over it. Such a sad story.

[travishenrichs]

You're an idiot. Ron Paul voted against the war; Obama did not.

[kaisertwig]

Check the voting record, moron. Obama voted against everything but the Patriot Act.

[travishenrichs]

Moron? If you had checked his voting record you would've seen he did not have the opportunity to vote against the war. So no, Obama did not vote against the war.

[testgoodantiv]

I find it scary that people running for the public office do not have to have a lot of work experience to get to the top. If I were to hire a pilot to fly a 767 I would choose a pilot with say 10 years of experience verses 2 years of experience. I really would feel better if the person is familiar with the job. Obama has only served 3 yrs/1term in senate b4 running for pres. Are you people kidding me? That is an awesome long resume for leading our country!

[suivoh]

i believe that state experience counts. not to mention being a community organizer and a civil rights lawyer.

[MrGovtCheese]

We aren't hiring a 767 pilots, we are electing a president. Abraham Lincoln would fail your criteria.

[dgirll]

he always knows what to say.

[poetnathan]

Obama has a great message!!! - Check out my Youtube titled "We" - I think it resignates with his potential voters

[Porsche51688]

This man speaks gospel.

[evoneal]

"its violence none the same" this was a horirble speech

[ibexr88]

"this was a horirble speech"

Uh, yeah, it was kind of off the cuff.

[JUDALATION]

obama is always right on... how did he know that a madman should not have gotten that gun? just like the war on iraq...

[jamesrc71986]

Obama is cool but Ron Paul is cooler. Check him out. Peace

[derekarmstrong]

No, no he's not.

[jamesrc71986]

uhm yeah, he is. obama is a fake. we have all seen what kind of church he supports. ron paul is way cooler.

[rollingRDC]

ron paul is a loon

[travishenrichs]

Yeah, ending this philosophy of preemptive war, reversing the economic trends that are sinking the country into debt every day, eliminating the size of a government that has turned more fascist than anything, totally loony.

[sarah08t]

love mr obama!

woo

[pipia13]

obama for pres

[XmusicmeisterX]

instead of reproducing and waiting until one of our children decides to figure out that we need abortion and changes the laws, why dont we preserve our generation and take a stand in politics??

[XmusicmeisterX]

yeah. unborn children. what bad is that doing?? do you remember what the birth proccess was like? when they're unborn they feel nothing, they arent even aware of their existance. stem cell research could save lives. that requires a human embryo. if u are against abortion, you are against stem cell research. if our president is against stem cell research, then there will NEVER be a cure for cancer, diabetes, and many more fatal diseases.

[regalparks]

this guy supports the killing of unborn children

[dragonhardon]

roe v. wade won't be changed depending on who the president is. has bush gotten rid of it? no. has his policies caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of fully born people? yes.

pro life politics are a joke. single issue voting is really stupid. if you care about life, care about suffering and care about people you work to create a more just society, not vote for a bunch of old white religeous nazis.

[regalparks]

You are assuming I support Bush. I do not support Bush, neither do I support the supposed democracy that the US government claims to offer its people because the people do not have the power in this country so what is the point in calling it a democracy

[dragonhardon]

well no shit we dont live in a democracy. and stopping abortion would certainly make it much better, because patriarchal sexist facism is so much better.

[regalparks]

so i guess you are one of those scum buckets who equate murder with freedom

[derekarmstrong]

The United States is, by definition, a Federal Constitutional Republic. And remember this: you will NEVER stop women from having abortions. Even if the US makes it completely illegal, it will still happen. I don't agree with it, but it's reality. And by the way, calling it "patriarchal sexist facism" is unfounded. Women don't just fuck and then get abortions when they feel like it. It's a tough, heart-wrenching decision that never leaves them.

[Johnkim510]

sticks and stones

[Immutef]

His point is that America has a prevailing culture of violence... since inception. Whether it is physical or verbal.. They are both tied to gether... in some cases one begets the other. We need to change our identity as a country. We do not have to be who we were.

[sgtdoug]

I don't remember reading about school shootings in our history books. That is one form of violence that has not been around since our countries inception.

[Immutef]

You are denying the fact that the underpinnings of our society has not been rooted in violence??? Reading is fundamental! What happened to the native americans? What about the tulsa race riot of 1921. Rosewood. Jim Crow. Lynch mobs... KKK?? Bull Connor. Heck check out the old western movies.. it was cool to murder native americans.. The xenophobes have taken over...This country thrives from the blood of the downtrodden.

[artist4africa]

"1927 -- US: Bath, Michigan School Disaster. Andrew Kehoe, seeking revenge against the community for taxes imposed on his farm to pay for a new school, set off a TNT bomb in the school, killing 43 people, including 39 grade-school children. After the explosion, Kehoe killed his wife, then drove his truck back, loaded with dynamite & nails, to the school, & set it off, killing himself & the school superintendent."

[artist4africa]

Were there schools at America's inception? Don't you have to create a government first, collect taxes, plan the cities and build the schools, and create a curriculum? How long does this process take? Read the right books and you'll find the info.

[artist4africa]

I think the comparison is fair.  That Korean kid talked about being bullied. So did the kids at Columbine. Those kids were victims of the verbal violence for a long time before becoming murderers. If people were more sensitive to each other, it could help divert disaster.

[sgtdoug]

Bullying does not excuse what he did. There is NO comparison between verbal and physical violence. The girls from Rutgers can go on with their lives, the people at Virginia Tech DIED.

[sgtdoug]

Excuse me, but comparing the plight of the Rutgers women's basketball team to the Virginia Tech shootings is ludicrous. It is not even in the same ballpark. This guy should have done the world a favor and taken the day off from campaigning like all the other candidates in both parties.

[scotchscotch]

It seemed like a nice speech until I thought about what he just said! He somehow drew a parallel between a murdering madman and Imus (and later in the speech, outsourcing of jobs)!! Even if we may agree that there may be some connection, couldn't this asshole waited a week before he politicized these murders??

[Aidar01KZ]

next president indeed
