I think this is wrong, not maliciously evil. But to me, its really pretty low to be using kids to push a political movement. Its like trying to raise taxes by showing a little kid saying how his school needs funding. Who can say no to a little kid.

This shit makes me sick. Using innocent little kids to push propeganda. This is just wrong.

You're free to think whatever you like about Obama's political goals, but when did I ever say I thought they were legitimate for debate? The only problem I had with your comment was you saying his actions were evil. Really. Thinking that the letters were manufactured is a stab in the dark, really, and I'll choose to take the President's word when he says kids started to send him letters. I do NOT think he was trying to further his goals, just spur America into action.

It's sad how some people can't see just how sick this man is.

Because using kids for political purposes, especially evil political purposes…are evil. You really think that these kids wrote these letters all on their own? And you think the comments from kids, whether real or “manufactured” are legitimate for second amendment debate? And you think that as a nation the second amendment should be based on opinion, debate, or letters from kids???

Grasping? Really?! C'mon dude, how many kids/parents did Barry fly in (on our dime, btw) with an opposing point of view to his throughout his smear campaign? Umm......zero. All hail our new king!

[Noah Holz]

...what? He decides to show a letter a kid sent him, how is that evil?

[Noah Holz]

Kid sent him a letter, Obama thought it was pretty cool and decided to show the nation that even children are grasping the situation. You're twisting his actions.
