Total BS. He could make a 5 minute speech that would de-fuse the situation...

...if he wanted to.

O has made it worse. Now he is engaged in a self-fulfilling prophesy of, “Oh No! The worst will happen!”

Too late now. Obama and Holder could have put the lid on this months ago, but in the chance that it would help in the election, they poured gasoline on the fire.

Best case scenario now is that it’s bitter cold and snowy when the grand jury decision is handed down. That will keep the outdoor activities to a minimum.

Sure he us. He probably has his beer and a big bowl of popcorn and can’t wait to jump into that recliner. He’ll watch safely from the sidelines while “his sons” tear what is left of the town apart. Better than Superbowl, eh Barry?

I’d bet money Holder can hardly even tolerate standing their posing with the sistahs.

They need their smiley mirror. If it gets frowney they will adjust, if petulantly.

Did he really think he could warp truth itself?

There are plenty of black people and white liberals who are still convinced that Michael Brown did not rob that store, and was randomly shot in the back by a racist police officer while he was surrendering with his hands up. Why shouldn't Obama believe he can warp truth itself? His techniques are working just fine on the group he knows best how to influence.

What Obama did not predict, IMHO, is the number of people who stood up and cried, "FOUL!" He spent three terms in the Illinois Senate representing mostly Chicago liberals, and his techniques are working just fine on people like that. But he has not a clue how to influence conservatives or other people who don't already buy into most of his beliefs. In my experience, conservatives and other non-liberals are much more likely to "go along to get along," but when they've had it, they have HAD IT, and they are done.

The last elections indicate to me that it isn't just a fair percentage of the people who I know who have reached that point. I'm thinking Obama has gotten himself in DEEP this time, and he knows enough to be desperately trying to deflect blame. I have my doubts that's going to work, depending on how things go, but it's also out of his hands at this point, which can't make him very happy.

“Heartfeld concern!” Did you catch that? O.M.G. Man doesn’t have any heartfeld nothin’

And since when does he care about political “fallout?” He will allow umpteen million illegals skate into citizenship, which he knows a vast majority of Americans loathe, but is worried about fallout if his sons cause a stir, i.e., riot?

I’m not going to survive another 2 years of this clown and his pathetic water carriers in the ‘press.’

Well then, since he is so torn up about it, let’s just go ahead and indict!
It is far better to convict one white cop than it is to piss off the entire black community.

When he’s a president, now everybody is his audience.
