Here is a twitter post from then-President Barack Obama. wonder why liberals weren't freaking out about this. wait, i know. it's because Dems play the same game as the Repubs, the game of "i dont care about anything other than making my team look good and the other team look bad!"
If that was the only thing he did and said, you'd have a point. Except he repeatedly tried to get congress to pass gun control legislation and he also signed executive orders on the subject to try to do what he could without congressional approval.

Remember when Obama said thoughts and prayers aren't enough, but still didn't really enact any change? That's even worse. He's aware we need more and still did nothing.
The article you quoted is all about his frustration with congressional GOP for refusing to move on the subject, so... nice try?
If only the president had some power of his own and tried just a little bit harder to get buy in from everyone instead of immediately throwing his hands up in the air after five seconds and saying "Well, I tried". But alas, he's only one man and what can he possibly do? Nice try.
Nice of you to ignore the part where I mentioned that he signed executive orders on the matter. And he still made attempts to try to get gun control legislation passed, why spend a huge amount of time and political capital on the matter when he knew full well that the GOP obstructionists were just going to block everything on it? Nice try. ---
