An Emotional President Obama Talks About Mass Shootings and Guns – Video

The hurt was apparent on President Obama today as he brought together an audience at the White House for an announcement on upcoming executive actions on background checks. At one point, the emotional toll on the president was so heavy, it caused the tears to flow.

Below is the complete video of the president’s announcement on sensible background check measures he is proposing. Watch this video and witness a president who really cares about the American people, and is willing to stand on his own through executive actions to protect Americans.

While talking about the massacre at Sandy Hook where 20 elementary kids were slaughtered, the President broke down, pausing at various times to whip tears from his eyes.

“Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad,” Mr. Obama said. “And by the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day!”

Remember when Republican Rudy Giuliani said this president doesn’t care or love America?

Coming Soon – President Obama’s Executive Action on Guns

People close to the President Obama’s administration say that in the coming days, the president will take Executive Actions on guns, more specifically, on a proposal that is extremely popular with the American people – better background checks on gun purchases.

Described as “imminent,” the set of executive actions would fulfill a promise by the President to take further unilateral steps the White House says could help curb gun deaths.

Planning for the action are not yet complete, and those familiar with the process warn that unforeseen circumstances could delay an announcement. But gun control advocates are expecting the new actions to be revealed next week, ahead of Obama’s annual State of the Union address, set for January 12.

The White House wouldn’t comment directly on the exact timing or content of Obama’s executive orders. White House spokesman Eric Schultz said that the President expected a set of recommendations on unilateral action to arrive at the beginning of the year.

He said Obama was “expressing urgency” for a list of steps he can take on his own after high-profile incidents of gun violence at the end of this year.

“It is complicated. That’s why it’s taken some time for our policy folks, our lawyers, and our expects to work through this and see what’s possible,” Schultz said.
