Fox News host: Obama used ‘raw onion’ to cry | TheHill
A Fox News contributor on Tuesday suggested President Obama used raw onions to fake tears while he was talking about school shootings.

“I would check that podium for like a raw onion or some no-more-tears,” Andrea Tantaros said when discussing Obama’s address earlier Tuesday about gun control. “I mean, it’s not really believable.”

That would certainly be better than if the tears were real. And after all, that would seem more in character.

I'm not even sure how to respond to your posts. :yt
 
I have no idea what he was doing he was crying and laughing at the same time, Very doubtful that he used onions but then again who believes everything coming out of FOX without double and then triple checking the statements they are know and admitted liars, like most news sources these days.

Well, in the onions case he would only have been cheating and not mentally disturbed.
 
Probably just a quick jab from Andrea Tantaros, but ridiculous nonetheless.

And not at all unlike our President who is either a blithering idiot or knew he was lying about numerous comments he made during his circus.

Actually, there's really no "either/or" necessary in the above statement as the two aren't mutually exclusive...
 
I agree that guessing and implying that emotion was faked is media bias, but so is not pointing out use of an emotional side show (which also included "jokes") to justify a completely unrelated executive action taken three years later.

What, exactly, is the linkage between the expanded BGC executive action and Sandy Hook? The tears, real or staged, do not change the reality of each gun used in the Sandy Hook crime was purchased legally and included passing a BGC.

The larger bias in the media is in not making that point.

Whether or not he used an onion, his behavior during that speech was very unprofessional and undignified.

A good president should be at least somewhat stoic.

At least a POTUS should be honest and not try to imply that expanded BGCs would have had any affect on Sandy Hook. That is akin to saying (implying?) that issuing more driver's tests would have prevented a hit and run or drunk driving "accident".
 
She thinks Obama's a phony. So? A lot of people do.

And what was the purpose of stacking the podium with those parents? All theater

And weak.
And no where near as smart as he thinks he is.
And disrespectful to our elders who built this nation.
and is a devote to victim culture
and is lazy
and is a prick
and does not even begin to understand how power works
And does not like a lot of Americans
And does not believe in America
And feels no reason to listen to or take seriously people he does not agree with
And could not make a good deal to save his life
and
and
and


And now we have Trump.

Are you capable of posting without campaigning for Trump? Is there any Reason that's all I see from you?

I am new here but I think you can go to my homepage and get a list of my posts. I post about a wide variety of subjects as I have a lot of different interests. I am curious by nature, and well educated..... there is a lot on my mind and I have a lot to say.

Happy reading.

He is an actor, and many politicians are. Nothing new, as a certain part of the population will fall for it every time. I only watched the "highlights" on evening news, but it was pretty silly. According to evening news many of the people standing with him for the photo op were the actors from New Town CT.

Yup. This. He told jokes (not even funny ones), then cried, then told more jokes, then cried, then proposed something which wouldn't have prevented Sandy Hook, the told a joke, and cried some more.

I'll say what I said yesterday. In all my years I've never seen a more bipolar and ridiculous performance from any leader, forget POTUS.

Disagree completely. If you can't show emotion, you don't come off as human.

Stoicism is overrated.
