After a while it becomes painfully obvious and it can no longer be ignored. Barack Obama is first and foremost the President of Black America. Barack Obama sent a convoy to the funeral of Michael Brown. It was a delegation of three officials. He sent three fewer to the funeral of Margaret Thatcher:
The White House sent three officials to attend Monday's funeral for Michael Brown in St. Louis -- three more than it sent for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's funeral last year.The administration's handling of the Brown funeral already has started to raise comparisons between the two.
For Monday's funeral, the White House sent two officials with the White House Office of Public Engagement as well as Broderick Johnson, chairman of the My Brother's Keeper Task Force.
No White House officials, though, were part of the presidential delegation sent last year to Thatcher's funeral. For that, the White House sent former secretaries of State George Schultz and James Baker III -- as well as the charge d'affaires to the U.K. and the former U.S. ambassador.
At the time, the nature of the delegation stirred controversy in the British media as tabloids claimed British officials felt snubbed that high-level American officials -- including President Obama himself -- were not attending.
Neither Obama nor any White House officials attended the funeral of the two star General killed in Afghanistan, Harold Greene.
Attending the Chris Stevens Memorial Service?
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee called Stevens a "hero" who led a "distinguished life and sacrificed his life for us...He simply made the world a better place for all of us."Other leaders including former Secretary of State George Shultz; retired diplomat Tom Pickering, who was charged to investigate the Benghazi killings; U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) and the Libyan Ambassador to the United States, Ali S. Aujali, spoke at the service. Aujali said there was "no excuse" for what happened, describing Stevens as a man who knew the Libyan people - and their suffering - well.
Now let's examine other events.
Henry Gates
Henry Gates was arrested by Sgt. James Crowley. Without knowing the facts Obama immediately leaped to a podium, saying the white Crowley "acted stupidly."
Trayvon Martin
Obama took the time off from golf to make emotional statements about Martin and prejudice the case:
But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon. And, you know, I think they are right to expect that all of us, as Americans, are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves and that we're going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.
Then he compounded it:
"When Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said this could've been my son. Another way of saying that is, Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago,"
Let's revisit Obama's words:
But, obviously, this is a tragedy. I can only imagine what these parents are going through. And when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids. And, you know, I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this and that everybody pulls together -- federal, state and local -- to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened.So I'm glad that not only is the Justice Department looking into it, I understand now that the governor of the state of Florida has formed a task force to investigate what's taking place. I think all of us have to do some soul-searching to figure out how does something like this happen. And that means that we examine the laws and the context for what happened, as well as the specifics of the incident.
Hadiya Pendleton
When it came to the murder of Hadiya Pendleton Obama knew exactly what the problem was. The cause of that murder was a gun- not those who pulled the trigger- and he seized the opportunity to politicize her death:
"Unfortunately what happened to Hadiya is not unique. It's not unique to Chicago. It's not unique to this country. Too many of our children are being taken away from us," he said in calling for the "commonsense" reforms -- comprehensive background checks and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines -- that he says most Americans embrace."
And why would Obama not blame the shooters?
Michelle Obama attended Hadiya's funeral.

It was time for the US to have a minority President... it’s too bad it had to be a jerk like “O”.
The minorities in America deserved much better!
Now they are back to square one in terms of credibility
A minority candidate would have to be absolutely stellar (Clarence Thomas) for me to even consider voting for them now. I didn’t used to be that way. Zero and all the asshats that voted for him have poisoned that well for me
Yep, the militant blacks seem to forget they are only 15% of the US population. And they act like they own the place, as well. Uppity, indeed! Methinks it is just a way for them to scream ‘Racism!’ at anything against their position, offensive or not.
Eat yer government cheese and quit yer complaining! Vote Democrat, and maybe you’ll get some government crackers to go along with yer government cheese. You think you got problems? That earthquake in California shook up all my expensive wine! Now, quit yer complaining and eat yer government cheese and vote Democrat so I can enjoy my lobster in peace.
Iraq War Vet Was Warned Waffle House Wasn’t ‘Safe For Whites,’ Gets Beaten, Needs Brain Surgery
Why? Race quota's are not a factor - qualifications are
Left out of title: Muslim
In Obama’s ideal world, whites would be racial dhimmis.
They’d work to pay for reparations, they’d have to step aside on the street, they’d have little protection against arbitrary physical abuse; and their word in court would be worth some fraction (maybe 1/4?) that of a black man’s.
I don’t think the /S is required here.
Bammy has made America worse for black people. Doesn’t matter because tribal/Democrat ties trumps all. If Ben Carson runs it should be a very interesting dynamics that will play out. We will see a good man smeared just like Clarence Thomas. They are of the wrong tribe—period.
I now know who Barack Obama really is: Robert Mugabe.
If the militant ones push too hard they’ll end up taking a dirt nap with Michael Brown. They’ll still cry racism but after enough of them go down things “should” calm down. But I’m not holding my breath.
“O” has set a ghastly precedent and it's too bad for others who will have to follow.
Tawana Sharpton...I like that. I’m going to use that for that skunk’s first name from now on.
I think America is beginning to see the problem. Most blacks only support blacks because of skin color. And millions of blacks just don’t appreciate America.
I’ve been thinking about this. The people on the ground in Ferguson, including our AG has said that the police force should mirror the community. So in other words, black communities should have majority black police officers.
So in other words, the segregation that the “black community” fought so hard to end, is now wanted again. No more diversity for them I guess.
Ok. Fine by me. But same goes for us. I want majority white police officers. Since our country has a majority of white folks, no more blacks in federal office, including President, congress, judicial, etc. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
See how ridiculous this gets!! They scream for segregation and it’s justice. When some white people were wanting this in the 60 ‘s it was racist. I’m sick to death of it.
Someone posted an article a few days ago about Africa among us. It was very interesting.
I don’t know about that. I noticed a lot of people on FR simply do NOT get sarcasm unless you draw a picture.
lol...you must label for those who were never Mork fans.
And you had to start with the 3 stooges.
Neighborhood policing... ok, I guess, but what I really want is neighborhood schools. If I bust my ass to live in a mostly white neighborhood, why should my taxes go to subsidize busing in of people from outside my town? Shouldn't my neighborhood schools reflect the number and composition of the neighborhood kids?
