Another Obama Statement Reaches Its Expiration Date, This One on Guns

The Heller decision comes down today from the Supreme Court, either upholding or striking down the Washington, D.C. gun ban.

In preparation for the decision, it appears that another Obama statement is reaching its expiration date:

With the Supreme Court poised to rule on Washington, D.C.'s, gun ban, the Obama campaign is disavowing what it calls an "inartful" statement to the Chicago Tribune last year in which an unnamed aide characterized Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as believing that the DC ban was constitutional.

"That statement was obviously an inartful attempt to explain the Senator's consistent position," Obama spokesman Bill Burton tells ABC News.

The statement which Burton describes as an inaccurate representation of the senator's views was made to the Chicago Tribune on Nov. 20, 2007.

In a story entitled, "Court to Hear Gun Case," the Chicago Tribune's James Oliphant and Michael J. Higgins wrote ". . . the campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said that he '...believes that we can recognize and respect the rights of law-abiding gun owners and the right of local communities to enact common sense laws to combat violence and save lives. Obama believes the D.C. handgun law is constitutional.'"

All statements by Barack Obama come with an expiration date. All of them.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how disarming law-abiding citizens, and thereby leaving the only guns in circulation in the hands of the predators of our society, is going to reduce crime or make our streets safer. 

File it under "Things that make you go wtf?!?"

Oh that's easy!  See when the criminals finally read the full law and what it is intended to do they will.......   WTF?

Geez Haz ... you shouldn't have given that kitty a shot of the Hazarita! 

I actually look forward to hearing Obama speak.  Just waiting for that “magical moment” when he says something and then he looks at the crowd that has suddenly grown silent ... he looks down at this notes ... then looks back to the crowd and pauses … you can almost see the “light” go on over his head as he looks off-stage to his wife and thinks … “Ah damn, stepped on my dick again!”

Provided he has one.  We may have to look to Michelle Obama for that apparatus and the set that hang below.

Another attempt by liberals telling me to disbelieve what I see, hear and know to be true.
