The people in the streets of Ferguson were't listening to him anyway. They didn't listen past the "not true" statement of the prosecutor. I watched them all disperse the moment that was said. They had their marching orders.
They were going to riot, the verdict didn't matter. Either way was an excuse.
The guy is so out of touch, he genuinely seems to believe the encounter between Brown and Wilson was racially motivated, and no amount of evidence will convince him otherwise.
If he was a proper leader, he would have shut it down a long time ago and told the nation that we should all let the grand jury do its job and not speculate about racial factors. The end.
Instead he comes out and enables certain nefarious elements of the black community -- who were proudly on display last night -- to engage in lawlessness, because, after all, "we still have strides to make in civil rights". Blacks, always a victimized people. Thanks for the uplifting message, Mr. President.
Really? Where are you getting that from his statements? He is addressing the sentiments that exist, rather than his personal feelings on the matter.
Funny how you see it that way...I could see certain white americans and black americans with racial issues being bothered by his statements though. Why? Because it doesn't "favor" either group enough...more similar than different sometimes. LOL.
because President Obama is the first President to issue an executive order on Immigration ?????????????
Reagan and Bush did their executive action's AFTER it was approved legislation from Congress. And more to the point....none of them should be doing it. Ever.

It doesnt matter if they did it afterwards. It was still an executive order that changed what was currently in that law.That being said Reagan's executive order came before Congress' legislation.
and further more, the constitution gives Presidents the power to use executive orders. You may disagree with the action itself, but not whether they can do it.
Once CNN mentioned that the President was going to speak, I turned off the TV. Couldn't care less what he thinks about this situation and I'm not sure that commenting on the situation was helpful.
Regardless of if you agree that the shooting itself was racial, the discussions around it for 4 months have been about race.
You telling him to not talk about race is the embodiment of "sweeping it under the rug".
The race issue was put forth by the MSM and agitators, like Al Sharpton, when none existed at the outset. More like pulling it from the hate closet to throw out there than "sweeping it under the rug". And Obama did show his racism by inserting it into his nationally televised remarks.
Still, I think that he did a reasonable job with his remarks.

Of course it matters! Reagan and Bush followed the checks-and-balances way of governing. They did NOT take the law into their own hands without Congress. Can't you see the difference here? It is a mighty BIG difference.
This president seems intent on going against what the majority of citizens (yeah, you know, those who actually HAVE citizenship legally) want. Why do you suppose so many are furious at his unilateral decision to do such an unwelcomed and sweeping stunt?
