NRA calls the shots...
Americans should applaud the NRA for:
1) Having the backbone to stand up to the Dear Leader (unlike many Republican and Conservative politicians)
2) Pointing out the glaring hypocrisy of the left. The "do as we say not as we do" crowd."
3) Pointing out that children DO deserve to be safe in schools.
4) All of the 23 (yes, you read that correctly) Executive Orders that Obama issued today in regards to gun control (oops, forgot the new moniker is now "gun violence") not one of them would have done ANYTHING to prevent Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, or other mass shootings. Plain and simple. All Obama is doing is targeting law-abiding citizens and their right to bear arms. (And Rush Limbaugh made an excellent point on his conservative talk radio show earlier - Obama wants more and more in-depth background checks and information on Americans - mainly on people who wish to buy and/or sell guns and/or visit a health care provider as to their mental state). When will we Americans get a background check on President Obama? Obama has YET to be properly vetted. What's up with that?)
5) The elitism of Obama and Co. is on full display (and the NRA commercial sure is "on target."). For some reason, Obama and his fellow socialists seem to believe they know best and the government can solve all of societies problems. Here's a news flash: Obama and Co. have no clue what is best for the American individual, and the government cannot solve every problem that pops up. (In fact, I'd venture to argue that the Obama government of today is the leader in creating problems (Obamacare anyone?).
6) Not caring if Obama and other lefties criticize and attack them for this commercial. (Already the liberal media is in a tizzy over this ad...)
Thank you, NRA - for having the guts to do what too many of our elected officials of today are afraid of. We need more people to stand up and speak out for America - and not let Obama destroy our country before our very eyes.

Applauding the NRA for this ad is like applauding yer buddy for his hold-my-beer-and-watch-THIS moment (while he proceeds to make a fool of himself).

The MSNBC link posted by GW was all knee jerk emotion and no facts. Just name calling during a mid-day soap opera break.

After all, the Liberals NEVER touched the Bush twins to make a salient point about double standards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_ivZkt1nJw
Difference being: We have an all volunteer armed forces BUT School Choice, and armed protection is reserved for the elite via Obama's hypocrisy.

Mucho: I agree with your assessment of the knee jerk liberal reaction to the ad. In addition, Rush pegged Obama for using children during his go-after-guns speech today as what Rush called "human shields." The leftie stations burst a blood vessel. But guess what - all they did was attack Rush. He's cold. He's heartless...he's this...he's that.... Whatever. (By the way, Limbaugh was one of the voices actually advocating for children in schools - that they do need protection. Too bad under Barry O's leadership all we'll get is more attacks aimed at the honest, law-abiding gun owners. 23 more attacks to start. Thanks Obama!!! And re-naming "gun control" (bad connotation - makes people think the government is coming after their guns) with "gun violence" makes people think oh good, the government is helping!!! Just think "global warming" morphing into "climate change" under Obama. Or better yet, the "war on terror" now being called "the overseas contigency operation." Egads.
They didn't mention that what Obama did (using and manipulating children who don't know any better - and supposedly "had written" anti-gun letters to The One (wonder if their teachers gave them the assignment?) was disgusting. I bet he had to hold back on not telling them to burst into song and sing the Dear Leader's praises: Barack Hussein Obama....mmmm....mmmm...mmmm.....

In his "Big Plan" announced today, he declares that he will appoint a new ATF director. The ONE agency with "Firearms" in its title hasn't had a permanent leader during his entire tenure and his last appointed temporary head (Kenneth Melson) resigned over Obama's botched "Fast and Furious" scandal that killed hundreds of people including a US Border Patrol Agent.
The two appointments that Obama made in the past 4 years that had direct responsibility for Firearm policy (Holder and Melson) have blood on their hands. Or doesn't the "even if one life could be saved" attitude apply to Mexican children and US Law enforcement?

In the end he resorts to old habits. He burnt a pile of money and had a big campaign event.......YAWN.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” - Senator Barack Obama (speaking about then-President Bush)

No need to imagine. Of the $19mm in loans that might be uncollectible by the WEDC, $14.5mm is Doyle's mess from the dismanlted over staffed DOC. I'll hold Walker accountable for the $4.5mm if you hold Doyle accountable for his $14.5mm. The likelihood that Walker's "forgivable loans" might still be collected from the past 17 months is greater than the distant memory of another exposed Doyle financial failure. Did you read up on this to be nice to me or ar you just throwing out another ignorant softball for the educated to hit out of the park on you?
Walker still has some more Doyle doo-doo to clean up and he is doing a great job.

Too bad he mocked Romney's binder full of qualified female candidates and will likely throw some newbie into the arena of public trust.

In his bloviation today, Obama sez we have to do a better job of "tracking" guns...
What about those guns the Obama Administration had a hand in sending down to criminal drug thugs in Mexico? Guns that eventually were used to kill a federal agent? How'd you do on tracking those? Hmmm...Mr. Obama?
Obama sure didn't seem to care too much about tracking those guns - the ones that the government sent to Mexican criminals!!!! Egads. I just cannot make this stuff up.

"President Obama Has Issued Fewer Executive Orders Than Any President in Over 100 Years"

There's nothing currently stopping Wisconsin schools from having armed guards. When I was at Arrowhead, there was a resource officer from the sheriff's department. He had a gun. I haven't had a chance to look over the executive orders, but I doubt they did anything about that.
