Newtown Mother Delivers Obamas Weekly Address Instead: Dont Let Our Tragedy Become Your Tragedy

Conservatives attack mother of a Sandy Hook victim. Francine Wheeler stands in for President Barack Obama and the conservative agitators are not happy. Some goes as far to say that they're 15 minutes of fame are over!

On the weekly address to the nation (found on the White House and Republican National Committee website), the president and the Republican chosen deliver an outlook to the agenda that are proposed.

President Barack Obama introduced the country to the social networks. The president does his weekly address on Friday and puts it on the social networks by Saturday morning.

The Republicans are upset that President Barack Obama flew the families of the Sandy Hook tragedy to Washington, DC to lobby politicos to pass gun control.

Francine Wheeler, the mother of Benjamin Wheeler appears as the president's stand-in for the weekly address.

I wonder if the conservative agitators would attack a mom who just lost her child?

Let's look at comment section from The Blaze and see if they have a form of compassion for a mother who lost one of children in one of the worst tragedies in American history.

Don’t let your kids become victims, arm yourself and arm responsible school officials. If a couple of school Officials would of had guns in Newton this whole tragedy could have been avoided. The headlines would have read Man shot to death as he attempted to kill children in a school. If you live in a gun restrictive state get your children out of school and home school them. How are the children going to be protected when the only ones with guns are the criminals?

  Someone should ask Barry Obama and Congress about the 211 children murdered last year by Drunk Drivers in the United States.
  
  Someone should ask Barry Obama and Congress about the 4,494 Children Murdered by Abortions every day in the United States.
  
  What these parents should ask: Why was there no investigation conducted when Adam Lanza was denied a Firearm purchase for refusing to follow Connecticut State Gun Laws? These parents should ask Eric Holder why the justice department is not prosecuting people caught with or trying buy firearms illegally? What these parents should ask: Why are the lives of our children (gun free zone) not as important as elected officials (heavy security?)
  
  Also, using the same logic of the parents about banning Firearms – why do we not ban automobiles and alcohol – 27 people are murdered everyday in the United States by Drunk Drivers – 3 more people murdered a day then from Firearms. How can these parents (Sandy Hook) who suffered such a tragic loss allow themselves to be used for political purpose?

  “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.” – Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf
  
  Does anyone in Conneticut, or New York or California or Illinois and anywhere else for that matter, who claims to have right on their side in the name of the children, know that they are simply being used for a much bigger progressive purpose? People who are stupid, simply aren’t smart enough to realize it.
  
  I can tell you this, if something like this happened to my child, I would be lobbying for less restrictions on guns! I put my daughter on the bus everyday and wonder why I do it, when deep inside I know, she has no protection inside the walls of her school. What are these people thinking and what planet are they from?

  EMOTIONAL INTERVIEW: Newtown Parent Mark Mattioli Explains to Megyn Kelly His Battle Against Post-Sandy Hook Gun Control Laws
  April 8, 2013
  In an interview so emotional that it led both host and guest to be moved to tears, Megyn Kelly sat down with Mark Mattioli, whose 8-year-old son James was killed in the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School last December. Mattioli, unlike most other Newtown victims’ parents, has taken a stand against certain proposed gun control laws that have followed the shootings.

  i feel her pain..but that grab the guns type PSA reminds me of the commercials we used to see of starving emaciated, dying children of the Congo and other nations in that region while begging for much needed funds to save just one child…again I feel & understand her pain..but between her and the parents who formed a gauntlet for the Connecticut legislators to walk through as they parents of sandy hook handed out glossy pics/cards with their dead children saying save just one life.save all childen from this..is as low as a PR campaign that Joseph Goebbels could have ever dreamed up.. Again..i understand their pain..I have seen first hand what a body of a child that has been torn apart in car wrecks as well as gun shot wounds far too many times..but this and those at the statehouse were politically way out of line..abnd all they did was rub a little emotional hand cream to sooth some rough dry skin..the laws those states passed will nor ever stop that kind of thing from ever happening again.And if does happen again then what laws/restrictions will come next ?

The sandy hook reference in the dark knight movie. Peter and Ryan Lanza still not being made public. Just a blitzkrieg to use your EMOTIONS against you to take your freedoms. Imagine what crazy psyops the govt will use of the population after they finish the “human brain mapping ” experiments. We are dealing with actors in our govt and at sandy hook. Like Bush, Obama and lots of politicians LOVE to say and I quote, “The time to ACT is now”. They told us they are acting and you people still dont get it.

  I feel deeply for this mother in the loss of her child. I don’t know how I would handle this if it was my child but
  doesn’t she realize she is just becoming a pawn of Obama? She has become a puppet for the far left liberal media and his royal majesty Obama.
  
  Her story willbring tears to many but she should relaize that if there had been armed guards and selected school personel, trained to respond along with publicity that the school was protected, the tragedy would have never happened. The looney would have selected a softer target. His intent was to kill as many as possible. Facing the knowledge ofarmed resistance he would have changed his mind.

  President Obama,
  
  Will you give equal television time to victims of crime who wish they’d had a gun to protect themselves or their loved ones?
  
  When I was a child my family was attacked by two men with butcher knives. Do I get to make a televised plea to Americans to arm themselves?
  
  How about hearing from people who stopped a crime in progress with a firearm – can we hear from them?
  
  Wouldn’t that be a fair & balanced approach, Mr. Pesident?
  
  Please stop treating America like an naive 12 year-old. We know our RIghts. We know history. We know when we are being manipulated. We are not controlled by emotionalism. Liberty or Death.

  If Americans allow the government to take their guns, then I’ll give up on them. For me the question becomes, how will I protect my family from the slaves and their masters?
  
  This whole thing is surreal.
  
  Watching so many American women consistently support collectivism is astounding. Maybe the men back in the day had a point in not allowing them to vote? They seem to be in one big hurry to enslave themselves AND their sons.
  
  Maybe this is the end for the US.
  
  As human history goes, 200 years of freedom is a pretty good run.

  @Unsafe…I feel the same way you do…I think these poor people are being used and are not thinking about the consequences of their convictions because of there tragic lose. They are being used by the Team Obama not for the public good because Obama could care less how many people are killed by firearms especially if they are white. His goal is the same as the Socialist in every other country that have taken away the rights of the citizens to keep their firearms…total domination over a citizenry. This man wakes up to this thought everyday of his life…he’s not stupid…he is a psychopath no different than Adam Lanza…look at his stance on late term delivery and murder or the killing of innocent civilians with drones….he is truly evil and it will come out hopefully sooner than later. I just can’t wait to see the dazed and confused look on my Democratic friends faces when they finally realize it.

Obama, how many children has your anti-gun policy in Chicago or DC saved? What of the children that have been saved by the fact their parents had a gun in the house and saved the child from someone there to do them harm? I’ll tell you what. First you go into the gang invested neighborhoods and disarm the real criminals first. Wait, what’s that? Police won’t go into those hoods because it is too dangerous? My point exactly. Second EVERYONE goes without protection. Politicians, Hollywood, the Elites. Wait what’s that you say? People know us and we are a target. Well guess what. No one knows me but I am still a target just walking down the street or sitting in my house alone to any criminal who wishes to do me harm. Puh-lease! Get off your high horse and back your words with actions you want to require of me.

  Trigus:
  
  The only problem with the children killed by guns is that it is misleading IMO
  
  Q: Is there a breakdown of who kills these children?
  in other words:
  When was it the gun handlers gun?
  When was it stolen?
  When was it a robbery?\
  When was it an assault?
  
  These just a few should be answered.
  Car deaths I’m sure could have that list as well but I am certain that say kids killed by robbery or assault would be heavily different.

  Yes, I feel very sorry for this mother and all the others who are letting the government use them as pawns to make us and our children vulnerable to fools who want to make a name for themselves.
  
  It’s a crime to let little children be sitting ducks when mentally unstable people can waltz in an kill them at a whim. Guns in capable hands have proven to deter this kind of idiocy by mentally disabled fools.
  When a shopping mall or other stores post signs, “no weapons” I refuse to go there. Not likely anything will happen, but it’s like being in a circus gallery where they can shoot objects, and you never know when a deranged person will step up and do the dirty deed.
  
  You’re taking your life in your hands on the streets of Chicago. Guns are banned and people are shot and killed daily it seems. No protection from these illegal guns and being a sitting duck for any fool.
  Read history to see how people were treated and killed because they had NO weapons to defend themselves. GOD HELP US if we fall for this trap. You might as well fall into the Lions den without a hope, like Daniel, who was saved by God. Yes, God will save us, but not from Tyranny from our own government who restricts us from protecting ourselves.
  If we want God to help this Country, we have to stop murdering thousands of babies with no remorse.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY… In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

I am truly sorry that a crazy man took the life of your child and we cannot have your tragedy become ours.

Well....that's nice. They use their freedom of speech to be the outright bigots and condescending morons.

The Huffington Post reports that the mother of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Connecticut school shooting used the opportunity to fill in for President Barack Obama during the weekly radio and Internet address to make a personal plea from the White House for action to combat gun violence.

"Thousands of other families across the United States are also drowning in our grief," said Francine Wheeler, choking back tears in the address broadcast Saturday. "Please help us do something before our tragedy becomes your tragedy."

Ben Wheeler was among the 20 first-graders and six adults killed in the Dec. 14 attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.

Francine Wheeler was the first person to deliver the address other than Obama or Vice President Joe Biden since the two took office in 2009.

Her husband, David Wheeler, sat silently next to her as she made the recording in the White House Library. Both wore the small green pins that have become a symbol of the shooting.

Obama asked Wheeler to deliver this week's address, which was taped Friday. The White House said Wheeler and her husband wrote the remarks.

"Sometimes, I close my eyes and all I can remember is that awful day waiting at the Sandy Hook Volunteer Firehouse for the boy who would never come home – the same firehouse that was home to Ben's Tiger Scout Den 6," Francine Wheeler said. "But other times, I feel Ben's presence filling me with courage for what I have to do, for him and all the others taken from us so violently and too soon."

Some of the Sandy Hook families, with Obama's blessing, have launched a stepped-up effort to push a gun control bill through Congress.

Obama traveled Monday to Hartford, Conn., about an hour's drive from Newtown, to make his case for action. On the return trip to Washington, he brought back 12 of the victims' family members, who have been meeting with senators.
