Stephen King definitely has a career as an economist in the Obama White House if he gets tired of the writing thing.

Maybe King should first have a chat with the people in Congress who share his politics:

Shameless: Obama recruits Gabby Giffords photo for gun-grabbing campaign

http://twitter.com/#!/irishspy/status/305009649088872448

President Obama’s crusade to slow the rise of the oceans and put a stop to gun violence is well underway, but he can’t do it alone. To help him be clear, he’s using Twitter to help spread the gun-grabbing gospel:

If we save even one life from gun violence, it’s worth it. Tell Congress: #WeDemandAVote. OFA.BO/uJymNX, twitter.com/BarackObama/st…

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 22, 2013

“The President said to me, ‘You can’t change the past Sami, but you can change the future.’” OFA.BO/kAADai #WeDemandAVote

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 22, 2013

RT if you agree: The number of guns sold without a background check should be zero. #WeDemandAVote, twitter.com/BarackObama/st…

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 22, 2013

That’s all well and good, but he needs to really up the prop-aganda factor. Enter Gabby Giffords:

For Gabby, and every victim of gun violence, #WeDemandAVote: twitter.com/BarackObama/st…

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 22, 2013

Ugh.

Gabby already has a vote. RT @barackobama: For Gabby, and every victim of gun violence, #WeDemandAVote: twitter.com/BarackObama/st…

From victim to political prop. RT @barackobama: For Gabby, and every victim of gun violence. twitter.com/BarackObama/st…

@sarahbellumd That would be embarrassingly shameless from an Obama voter. From @barackobama himself, it’s beyond parody.

— Anthony Bialy (@AnthonyBialy) February 22, 2013

It’s pathetic. Meanwhile:

— Ashley(@TwistedBeauty90) February 22, 2013

Chicago’s already the poster child for gun control, yet gun violence persists. Oh well. That truth is far too inconvenient for a messiah on a mission.

Twitter users say NYC should call off the marathon

http://twitter.com/#!/CostantlyTini/status/264149777191677952

This Sunday, tens of thousands of runners will take to the streets of New York to compete in the New York City marathon. In spite of Hurricane Sandy, the event will proceed as planned, according to Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Many Twitter users, however, say the event should be canceled or postponed. They argue that the resources used to support the marathoners (including police and water) could be better put to use helping those harmed by Hurricane Sandy.

37 confirmed deaths 19 in #statenisland but we are still having the NYC marathon fuck the #roadrunnersclub #bloombergsucks #hurrinecanesandy

— Megan Mc (@MeggyMac) November 2, 2012

The water that will be wasted by runners in the marathon has better uses in needy parts of NYC

Calling all Runners, it is your duty to protest and Boycott the #NYC Marathon 12012

— Cash Logan (@Cash___Logan) November 2, 2012

Don’t you think we should be thinking about Telethons and not Marathons? Come on East Coast! Mayor Bloomberg cancel the NYC 2012 Marathon!

— JoAnn Chaffardet (@jchaff327) November 2, 2012

Watching crews erect tents and grandstands for NYC Marathon. Those tents and manpower are certainly needed elsewhere right now.

@andersoncooper did you know they start the NYC marathon right where those boys were found? Isn’t that a disgrace?? @ac360

SI & Rockaway without help Manhattan without power No gas, buses or trains 50 dead This is not a time of celebration No NYC Marathon! #Sandy

Really NYC? Having the marathon this weekend is a good idea? You should postpone.
