President Barack Obama has privately conveyed real heart-driven concern about the prospect of another round of violence in Ferguson, Missouri, in the coming days. Accordingly, he has directed federal agencies to do all they can to lay the groundwork to help authorities in Missouri, especially if there is unrest. But the administration has limited power and has faced some resistance from state and local officials, highlighting the limits of Obamas role even as hes likely to face criticism should tensions flare.

So Obama is concerned thanks to Holder and company throwing gasoline on the fire Ferguson will explode.

Remind me again who is stirring the racial pot.
Enough foot dragging. Get on with the grand jury announcement and be done with it.

His only fear is it won’t be big enough.

Kind of hard to have real heart-driven concern when you don’t have a heart...

"he has directed federal agencies to do all they can"
If the feds are there it will be to press charges against the cops not the rioters.
To: C19fan
His “heart driven concern” is only that there will not be enough rioting and violence to justify him creating some new czar/department, requiring hundreds of employees and millions of dollars, in the name of racial sensitivity or something similar.

Exactly! Obama's only concern is that the Brown incident might be seen for what it is, and that most Blacks would finally wake up and take notice of how they have been used and abused by the Left.

“Heart-driven concern?” From this 8 x 10 glossy of a person?

Will the Figurehead rebel against the Handlers? That when we know he really cares about this ludicrously lopsided situation. This is a supreme example of picking the wrong hill to die upon.

Call me hopelessly romantic, but I really hope and pray he would. Every sign is that he and his buddies have ginned up the most pointless outrage possible here. And they’re getting hurt as a result. Does he have a smidgen of genuine sympathy left. If he does, he would tell the Bro’s to stop this nonsense. This cutting off of noses to spite faces.

If he’d wanted to really help, he’d have kept his mouth shut from the beginning and never said one word about this incident provoked by an out-of-control eighteen year-old who had some amount of marijuana in his system.
All he and Holder have done is throw gasoline on an already volatile situation.

There will be the usual "peaceful" assaults, looting, tipping over cars etc. Nothing will be done as whites have no spiritual strength left.(By spiritual I do not mean the old time religion) (By spiritual strength I mean the words of the Speaker of the House at the start of the Civil War.) "If our republic is to go out into the endless night of history, let it depart amid the roar of cannon and the rattle of muskets."
Any looters and rioters should be warned to get off the streets, failure to do so will result in our littering the streets with looter bodies. However, as stated no strength left only an intense desire for eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels, snoring and maybe getting some free tickets to "The Games."
