Hillary Clinton has promised to be Barack Obama in a pantsuit, which means the downward trend will continue as the Democrat practice of “Promise Everything, Deliver Nothing, Blame Others” goes on*

Obama is not anti cop. He just is requiring them to first admit it that they are racist before he will do anything.

He is clearly trying to start a race war. His Black Liberation Theology church of Rev Wright was doing the same thing.
