President Obama met with Ferguson protest leaders on November 5th, the day after the midterm elections. The meeting was not on his daily schedule. He was concerned that the protesters “stay on course.”
What does that mean?
And why is the president meeting with the violent Mike Brown protesters before a verdict is reached in the court case?
The Ferguson protesters have looted over 100 businesses in the St. Louis area.
The New York Times hid this in the 21st paragraph of their report:
But leaders here say that is the nature of a movement that has taken place, in part, on social media and that does not match an earlier-era protest structure where a single, outspoken leader might have led the way. “This is not your momma’s civil rights movement,” said Ashley Yates, a leader of Millennial Activists United. “This is a movement where you have several difference voices, different people. The person in charge is really — the people. But the message from everyone is the same: Stop killing us.”
At times, there has been a split between national civil rights leaders and the younger leaders on the ground here, who see their efforts as more immediate, less passive than an older generation’s. But some here said relations have improved in recent weeks.
Some of the national leaders met with President Obama on Nov. 5 for a gathering that included a conversation about Ferguson.
According to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr. Obama “was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”
Obama wants the protesters to stay on course?
Unbelievable.
Obama is a racist.
He and Eric Holder were two peas in a pod. The most devisive president ever!
Uh oh...wonder if he’s having Eric “The Red” Holder send them guns......
Relax, Barry. Pushing the race button does not require special instructions.
Did he buy a shirt from the Step Grandma? Or did the Mom steal them all?
With all of the problems facing the U.S., Barry takes time out of his golfing schedule to meet with a racist mob to encourage them to keep it up. Barry is an international embarrassment.
They’ve got the DHS there to provide protection for the protesters.
What message did Holder give when he went to Ferguson?
“Stay on course,” as in more uninformed unrest and riots
Conspiracy?
He’s divisive, even derisive!
Obama is reduced to addressing the unassimilated rabble because it is the only audience who might take him seriously; he has been exposed as the emperor with no clothes to everyone else (here and abroad).
What else would a lame duck without Congress do all day?
Criminals have taken over the US ,Obama will not go quietly 20Jan17
The only high point will be when the mobs overturn those brand new GM SUV’s belonging to DHS Federal Police and set them on fire too.
From Community Organizer to Anarchy Organizer.
Has he met with the parents of the aid worker
who just had his head chopped off?
