White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer was asked Wednesday morning to decribe what he considers President Obama’s "precepts" for getting things done in Washington. “There’s almost no characteristic more important than discipline,” Pfeiffer responded.
President Obama argued for gun control today, with "moms on this stage whose children were killed as recently as 35 days ago":
"That agony burns deep in the families of thousands," Obama said. "Thousands of Americans who have been stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun over these last hundred days."
In an interview with the Huffington Post, National Rifle Association president David Keene says that "Gun control advocates were ready" for the Newtown school massacre.
A new poll measuring public opinion of gun control measures being considered in Colorado finds the issue could be politically dangerous for Democrats. And most don’t think “sweeping gun control measures will make them any safer,” according to the pollster.
The other day, Vice President Joe Biden revealed that he told his wife to fire warning shots off their balcony if an intruder were near. "If there's ever a problem," Biden said he told his wife, Jill, "just walk out on the balcony here--walk out, put that double barrel shot gun and fire two blasts outside the house -- I promise you whoever is coming in ... You don't need an AR-15, it's harder to aim, it's harder to use...Buy a shotgun! Buy a shotgun!"
