Why does Obama feel need to apologize for America? Raises Brown shooting in UN speech about ISIS
The London Daily Mail ^ | September 25, 2014 | David Martosko, U.S. Political Editor

* US president spoke to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, castigating the ISIS terror group's 'network of death'
* Amid mentions of the Russia-Ukraine crisis and Iran's nuclear program, Obama seemed to apologize for a racially fraught shooting in Missouri
* A white police officer shot and killed a black teen on August 9 in a case that brought protesters out of the woodwork and sparked a DOJ inquest
* No charges have been brought against the police officer for killing Michael Brown, who had just come from committing a robbery but was unarmed
* Obama told the UN that 'America has plenty of problems within our own borders' and 'our own racial and ethnic tensions'

President Barack Obama brought the infamous shooting of Michael Brown, a Ferguson, Missouri teen, into his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, citing it as evidence that the United States has 'our own racial and ethnic tensions' that compare to the sectarian genocide and ethnic cleansing plaguing the Middle East.

His remarks focused mostly on armed clashes in Ukraine and on a vicious jihad in Iraq and Syria where a terror group has beheaded journalists for a global Internet audience, where hundreds of thousands have died, and where millions have fled as refugees.

'I realize that America's critics will be quick to point out that at times we too have failed to live up to our ideals; that America has plenty of problems within our own borders,' he told representatives of 193 countries gathered in New York City. 'This is true.'

'In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson...

I’m sure a lot of us have opinions on why, but after trying to frame them for posting, finally determined the possibility of a visit from the SS or being banned to be too great.
And passed.

Barry declares the U.S. as a Nation of Cowards before the U.N.

My impression of Barry, going back to 2007, is that he aspires to become the head of the U.N. after he leaves the Presidency. His megalomania has no bounds. That’s what we get for electing a coke-head.

I agree with you that he ultimately wants to be president of the UN.

Because he grew up with a mother, father or step father or whatever he was and mentors of all stripes who were on the margins of our culture and hated the country, and Barry’s going to prove them right and all those evil, greedy, comfortable, square white men who loved the US and held it up as the greatest, most generous, most benevolent in the world as being wrong no matte what......

What does he mean by that? - is he equating the racial tensions in America with the religious tensions among Muslims? “See we are all as bad as each other and we shouldn’t judge” - this is what I take from him mentioning that otherwise what was his point?

Secondly what sort of decent human being would take his own country/people to task in front of a forum of other countries - let alone what sort of President - what a scumbag!

To this braindead hater, a cop defending himself is the same as ISIS beheading an innocent jounalist.

Pray America wakes up

Chillingly true. And his Muslim-Brotherhood-loving biatch Hillary ain’t much better.

I know. The stupid idiot doesn’t even know whether Brown was guilty of attacking the policeman who shot him. Obama is a stupid man. He’s just STUPID. We don’t know the facts of the Brown case, and equating that with ISIS is insane.

Obama is stupid and insane. Can’t some sane people get to him and stop him from being such a flaming jerk? Are they waiting for him to do something truly catastrophic?

I cannot get over the sheer lack of brains of Obama. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I’m sorry. Anyone who says “corpse-man” is stupid. Anyone who cannot pronounce OB-GYN is stupid.

Any race war’s outcome is not in doubt, so I don’t buy that a race war is his goal.
