Fox hosts agree: Obama shed fake tears

Fox News hosts speaking about President Obama's tearful remarks in the lead-up to his executive action on guns said they all saw the same thing in the commander in chief's demeanor: a lack of genuine emotion.

"First-graders in Newtown. First-graders," Obama said, as tears rolled down his cheeks. "Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad. And by the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day."

"What was really upsetting was the tears that he wiped away again and again," said Melissa Francis, one of the Fox panelists on "Outnumbered," Raw Story reported.

"You want that for – I mean, we feel frightened about what's going on with ISIS. And he can't pull that kind of passion for anything about this. I feel bad about those kids in [Newtown] Connecticut. Your heart breaks for them. But it's only about this that he gets so upset ... never about terror."

Co-host Andrea Tantaros agreed, saying Obama's display looked canned.

"He would have spoken out a long time ago" if he were that upset, Tantaros said. "This is how many years? Almost eight years, he's at the end of his term. And you haven't heard him go to Chicago and really speak about this issue."

And then she said this: "So I would check that podium for like a raw onion or some 'No More Tears.' It's not really believable. And the award goes to ... we are in awards season."

Wonder why Barack Obama does what he does? Andrew G. Hodges, a psychiatrist who specializes in forensic profiling, may have the answer, in "The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury."

Meghan McCain, another co-host, said similarly.

"It just didn't seem horribly authentic," she said, Raw Story reported. "Maybe it is, I don't know him at all."

But, she added, if Obama were genuine, he ought to "go to your hometown of Chicago instead of talking about God-fearing Americans when ISIS is coming to their hometown."

Donald Trump also weighed in on Obama's speech.

"I actually think he was sincere," the 2016 Republican front-runner said Wednesday during an interview on Fox News. "I'll probably go down five points in the polls by saying that. I think he probably means well, (but) the concept is wrong."
