But were the facts concealed behind executive privilege? If so ill concede.....
By that standard you'd still be locked up.
No, they just weren't revealed.

1) because they think they know whats best for us
2) when the people are wrong, it's the job of congress to ignore them

IMO, waiting 3 days is absolutely unacceptable in the times we now live in.

You see guns for sale on Craigslist? Odd, because their policy is NO GUN SALES... if they see the ad put up it is removed. They do not even allow bb guns to be sold on the site.
So my guess is you are just emoting again.
Even if you could advertise on Craig's List (I don't know, never used it to buy a gun), it would be no different than me advertising to sell a tractor in the local paper, meeting up with the individual and making the deal. The seller providing a bill of sale and receiving monies for the transfer of ownership. It is a private transfer. In my case as far as guns go it is a trade and not a sale most of the time.
As far as internet purchases go, I have bought plenty of guns at auctionarms.com (I think they may have changed their site name now) and gunsamerica.com (I think that is it) and every trnasfer must go through a licensed FFL who then has to do a background check (you know, I have to fill out that yellow form and all) before they can transfer the gun to me. I know of no other internet purchases that would be different than described in my first paragraph...leading to an in person, private sale/trade between individuals.
You make a good point, but the SS and Medicare cuts just might be blamed on the Republicans... "they insisted on cuts... I offered less than they wanted!"

Democrats would like to blame SS cuts on Obama .. but that dog won't hunt.
Even Paul Ryan didn't call for cuts to SS .. Obama did.
lmao no. Go look at any of a top issues list for voters, gun grabbing is no where near the top.
I support background checks, within reason. How much does that actually tell you?

Obama Approval Rating Slips, Government Trust Low In New Poll
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's re-election glow is gone. Congress' reputation remains dismal. And only about one in five Americans say they trust the government to do what's right most of the time, an Associated Press-GfK poll finds.
Most adults disapprove of Obama's handling of the federal deficit, a festering national problem. But they also dislike key proposals to reduce deficit spending, including a slower growth in Social Security benefits and changes to Medicare.
Rounding out the portrait of a nation in a funk, the share of people saying the United States is heading in the wrong direction is at its highest since last August: 56 percent.
---
Just 7 percent of Americans say they trust the government in Washington to do what is right "just about always," the AP-GfK poll found. Fourteen percent say they trust it "most" of the time. Two-thirds trust the federal government only some of the time; 11 percent say they never do.
Obama's overall job approval rating is at its lowest point since his re-election: 50 percent, with 47 percent disapproving. His approval rating among Republicans – 10 percent – is back to where it was before the election. Among independents, disapproval has crept up to 49 percent.
With more and more components of the 2010 "Obamacare" health law taking effect, 41 percent of Americans approve of the president's handling of health care. That's the lowest level during his time in office.
---
Ratings of the president's handling of the economy, meanwhile, are back in negative territory, with 52 percent disapproving and 46 percent approving. In last September's run-up to the election, 49 percent said they approved, and 48 percent disapproved.
In the new poll, disapproval among independents on handling the economy is up 10 percentage points since September 2012. It now stands at 57 percent.
---
Obama's budget proposals are winning few kudos. Fifty-six percent of Americans disapprove of the way he is handling the federal deficit, while 39 percent approve. Those levels have changed little in the past 15 months.
Public support has dropped, however, for proposals recently floated by Obama and others to slow the growth of benefits in the popular but costly Social Security and Medicare programs.
Opposition to raising the Medicare eligibility age has grown over the last few months in AP-GfK polling. Shortly after the fall election, 48 percent opposed such a plan, while 40 percent supported it. Opposition has grown by 11 points since then, with 59 percent now saying they dislike the idea.
Support among Democrats fell from 41 percent last fall to just 27 percent now, with 60 percent opposed.
