Obama is so hesistant on this gun question. Sad we don't have a country where we just so we won't accept gun violence.

I disagree, I think most rational people don't accept gun violence, just that no politicians can  say anything that risk alienated the gun lobby.

Bingo. Though, I don't think Obama really should worry about that. Most of the gun lobby check Republican before they even know who's running.

Kindle killed me. Wanted to have I wished we had country where one could say we won't accept it.

Meh, gun control is a loser for both sides.  It's a useless topic.

Besides, two parent households are more important in stopping gun violence.

The Minsky Moment

Can you name a country a "currency manipulator" if they are not actually manipulating their currency anymore?
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Romney wants to lower the middle class taxes and pay for it by closing loopholes. Obama wants to lower business taxes and pay for it by closing loopholes.

Obama always manages to talk at least two minutes more than Romney. How does he do that?

Obama just dropped the 11% currency valuation.

What does that mean? A concrete example would be Obama could say I am going to push to get assault weapons banned instead of we'll see if we can try. And then where we wouldn't see Foment say no new gun control.

Of course you can, though it may piss off the people who are also buying your 'national debt'.
