Presidential town hall and gun show

[prog]

Boy do I have a bad feeling about this.

This is probably the first time I really have to ask what usually strikes me as a lame question: can you imagine what would have happened if anyone pulled this shit around our previous president?

I'm going to point out one thing... the concept of 'Free Speech Zones' was actually something the Bill Clinton's administration invented, not Bush.

It's just that Bush took it too far: putting those 'zones' many miles away from his speech locations, using them at almost every chance, for nearly everything imaginable.

Odds are, those armed protesters were in a location mandated by Arizona state law -- which was probably no-where near Obama.

Even still -- you have to wonder about the frame of mind that believes you need an AR-15 assault rifle to disagree with Obama. They were happy when Bush stepped on the little people, now that Obama is in charge -- they must be assuming he'll use all the same tactics as the Bush administration. How very telling of the last eight years.
