Anyone who cares about their fellow human beings.

Pres Obama is a good man. And I'm sure he (and FLOTUS)
will continue to improve our world after he leaves office.

fault for not reaching out to the republicans to discuss this. He then went on to justify it by quoting Ben Carson.

Where have these idiots been for the last eight years?

more mad at Republicans for blocking everything he has tried to do. They have made him out to be a horrible President, but its THEY who have been terrible, simply for blocking what ever it takes to stop gun violence.

People need to vote these Republicans out of office who have blocked each and every effort.
