The White House ?@whitehouse

President Obama: "Sooner or later, we are going to get this right. The memories of these children demand it. And so do the American people."

President Obama: "I want to make it clear to the American people that we can still bring about meaningful changes that reduce gun violence"

President Obama: "This was a pretty shameful day for Washington. But this effort isn’t over."

"Instead of supporting this compromise, the gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill." —President Obama

President Obama: "90% of the American people support universal background checks that make it harder for a dangerous person to buy a gun."

President Obama: "In response to too many tragedies…this country took up the cause of protecting more of our people from gun violence"

But that's not HIS problem, because to blame him for the obstruction (and I'm not saying that's what's going on with your post, but I know some people might think exactly that way) implies that we need not bother electing another black person, a female, a member of the GLBT community, or any other demographic that the GOP may not like being in power. The lunatics cannot keep running the asylum.

When Obama was Elected the Republicans decided they would SAY NO to everything. It was planned out that way. Even though he was re-elected, there are some Republicans who really don't like a black man in the White house. That is part of the reason why they say no to everything he does. Eric Cantor is a prime example .. of saying no to everything.
