NRA Ad Slams Obama as "Elitist Hypocrite"
by Free Britney at .In advance of President Obama's gun control plan, The National Rifle Association preemptively released a new video labeling him an "elitist hypocrite."
Obama, the ad says, enjoys Secret Service protection of his two daughters at school, yet is "skeptical" about installing armed guards in all schools.
The 35-second video is as harsh as any political campaign ad and illustrates how emotionally charged and personal the debate over gun control is.
The White House quickly blasted the NRA ad using Obama’s daughters to criticize the president on gun control as both “repugnant and cowardly."
As the president's children, Malia and Sasha Obama are entitled to Secret Service protection, and they receive it. But should every child in the U.S. then?
Obama never officially said he opposes more armed security guards at school, which the NRA recommended in the wake of the Newtown massacre.
But the President, who outlined significant reforms today, did say he's skeptical of the idea and added that such a step is not sufficient in curbing danger.
White House spokesman Jay Carney released a statement responding to the ad shortly before Obama outlined his new gun proposals this morning.
“Most Americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight,” Carney said in a statement emailed to reporters.
He added that the group stooped too low, and “to go so far as to make the safety of the president's children the subject of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly.”
Gun control: Time for additional, stronger laws?

nice idea
Yes- that's the scary part- THIS IS HIS BEST! The NRA is not the problem. The rich people are not the problem. Tea Party "Stroke" with conservatives is not the problem. The problem is Obama does not want to tackle the real problems. He want a higher debt ceiling, he wants to spend, he wants to keep the entitled satisfied. Until he can learn how to negotiate a way to put people to work and come to terms with the fact that "WE THE PEOPLE" will NEVER accept that spending your way out of debt as a solution then we will fight from now on! You Liberals need to Address the real problem! Crime rate leads to more demand for guns- so does lack of trust in Government. More Jobs= Less Crime, more entitlements leads to more pissed off tax payers.
Give Obama a break!!.He is doin his best.
Only the paranoid, crazy fruitcakes want high-capacity semi-automatic assualt weapons. Paranoia is symptomatic of drug addiction or some mental illness.
Spending 500million on BS does seem unstable. I can't believe I voted for him them first time. He's worse than Bush
