B.S.?

What do you think the fellow who made the following comments in his Newtown speech will actually do? 

He vowed to use “whatever power this office holds” in coming weeks to prevent mass shootings.
"No single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society, but that can’t be an excuse for inaction." 
"Are we really prepared to say that we’re powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard?”

I suppose we should cheer that he at least said something about gun control now.  Both his Giffords and Aurora talks said nothing about it.

He has been such a staunch and vocal proponent of gun control that he signed bills that allow firearm possession on Amtrak trains and in national parks.  And, in 2010 the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, citing Obama’s “extraordinary silence and passivity,” awarded the President an F on gun control.

I wouldn't bet much money on anything happening.
