Carney said Biden continues to play a leading role in the gun
control effort. He reiterated that the administration would continue to
press for legislation and suggested lawmakers who opposed the last version
would feel public pressure."In the end, senators who voted against the overwhelming
will of their constituents may reconsider if they hear from those same
constituents and hear how important these common-sense measures are to them,"
he said.The Obama-supporting Organizing for Action is working hard on the
sidelines to apply that pressure. That group's home page, as of Friday
afternoon, featured a sign-up for a petition supporting legislation.The
lead post on the page claimed that poll numbers for lawmakers who
opposed the legislation last month have dropped."Want proof that what OFA
volunteers are doing is working? The senators who voted against expanding
background checks are getting their poll numbers back since that vote-and
they're not subtle," OFA claimed.But even Sen. Pat Toomey, who was a
critical supporter of the compromise amendment that ultimately failed last
month, claims Congress does not have the stomach for gun legislation any
time soon.The Pennsylvania Republican had teamed up with moderate West Virginia
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin to offer the background check amendment, which
would have expanded checks to gun shows and Internet sales while exempting
family and other personal transacti
"Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects
all faiths.We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.
But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence.
None."-- President Obama on Sept. 12, 2012 discussing the attack on the
U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, then said by the administration to have
been spurred by an Internet video deemed offensive to Islam.Elections are
clarifying things, though not necessarily for voters.Americans are still
puzzling over the significance and consequences of 2012's electoral embrace
of an unpopular status quo. Is dysfunction the new normal? Is sclerotic
malaise the best we can muster for a federal government?But for the
candidates and campaign teams in the midst of elections, they are marvelously
simplifying affairs. If you don't win, nothing else matters. Other considerations
must take a back seat, even if you are the incumbent president
of the most important nation on the planet.If one believes he or
she is in politics to do good, as almost all politicians do,
ignoble attainment of a victory is easily excused by the thought of
good deeds achieved once installed or retained in office.Today's birthday
boy, Nicolo Machiavelli, wrote that if a politician is successful, "the
means will always be considered honest." Or, as his modern intellectual
heir, Al Davis of the Oakland Raiders, put it: "Just win, baby."But
it is not always so.
