"Shame On Us If We've Forgotten"
Obama needs backup on guns
Dana Milbank, like so many of my other fellow pundits, is placing blame on President Obama for the congressional inertia that has stymied advancement of proposals to stem gun violence. What more Obama could do than hes already done is beyond me. One look at the House of Representatives and you know that anything he wants to do or is in favor of doing is dead on arrival over there.
Still, nothing gets the attention of Congress like the voice of the people. Thats why the presidents speech Thursday was directed as much at the American people as it was at Congress.
