Barack Obama, the Presidential Democratic Party candidate, supports banning all guns in America. He is considered by those who have dealt with him, as a bit more than just a little, self-righteous.
At a recent rural elementary school assembly in East Texas, he asked the audience to be totally quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence. Then he said into the microphone, "Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence."
Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said: "'Well, dumb-ass, stop clapping!"

Vote Smart.
OK, OK. I knew it was not true. I can’t believe anyone would think it was true. I can't believe that you thought anyone would think it was true. It is obviously a joke. I did label it "humor". I guess I am guilty of thinking people are smarter than they really are. I guess next time, I will need to label any such posting with big bold letters, “THIS IS A JOKE.”
