Since this seems to be the hot topic of the week, let’s discuss how bizarre this whole thing is. First of all, no one is ever going to challenge this man’s rights to own and carry a firearm. However, it begs some concern for the safety of the president when a man carrying a sign that advocates violence gets a weapon this close to the president. Forget about the fact that Obama is the first African-American president. If this was Bush or Clinton, the same concerns would be raised. What makes this SUCH a big issue is the fact that despite the fact that a black, Democratic president has not even served one year in office, fringe right-wingers have decided that gun rights are an issue and have decided to fan the flames over every single thing that has to do with the president to the effect that now people are starting to get really scary looking in public over political issues. Bailout or not, health care reform or not, it is really not okay to be flirting this close to violence. Knock it off, already!
