President Angry

For John, BLUF:  It isn't about gun control, it is about politics and who is on top.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

I have heard that the President was very angry over the failure of the US Senate to pass the gun control bill.  I didn't pick up on the anger in the videos I saw.  A limitation on my part.

I do believe that the President was angry about the fact that he missed the chance to see gun control crash and burn in the House of Representatives, which he could then blame on the Republicans as a way of helping defeat those same Republicans in the 2014 House races, finally bringing Democratic Party Control back to Washington, SCOTUS aside.

Blogger Ed Morrissey takes a different look at the situation with regard to the failed gun control legislation in the US Senate.

So far, we’ve heard a lot of bluster coming from Barack Obama and his allies on Capitol Hill about how the voters will punish Republicans for opposing a series of gun-control measures that didn’t even keep all the Democrats in the fold.  The real problem with “the audacity of mope,” as National Hotline’s Josh Kraushaar writes today, is that voters may end up punishing Democrats in key 2014 Senate contests.  Obama and the Democrats just learned the wrong lesson over their spectacular and embarrassing failure, and may lose the Senate as a result:

And on he goes, working with Mr Kraushaar's column.
