Home is where the POTUS is: Al Sharpton returns to White House 'for his 73RD visit' with Obama to discuss problems facing minorities
Reverend Al Sharpton apparently cannot get enough of the White House.
The prominent civil rights leader and MSNBC talk show host was invited Thursday to a meeting with President Obama and other African-American activists, making it his 73rd visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since 2009, according to some estimates.
In a press release sent out ahead of the summit, White House officials described the occasion as an 'opportunity to have a dialogue with the leaders about the issues facing their communities, including criminal justice, education, health care and economic development.'

When was the last time the head of the FBI was invited to the White House? Anyone know?
Not a specific number but I’d say way less than Sharpton.
I was wondering if he brought a check to cover his taxes.
He’s the courier for Barry’s blow.
Is there really anything more you need to know about Obozo and his administration?
The head of the FBI wasn’t invited to the ‘extremism’ summit either... Seems good guys are treated badly and people like Sharpton are invited to the White House weekly... Very strange.
618 days until Obama leaves office...
The official line for not inviting him (and other, what would be, cognizant officials) was to eschew giving an air ‘enforcement’ to the summit. Ostensibly, all there were to work out themes and policies.
The real reason they weren’t there is because they have a sworn duty to uphold the law. And, in the high capacities in which they serve, are obligated to act in a lawful manner. My guess is that Obama did not want them to be confronted with what some might call conspiracy and collusion to violate existing laws.
You're talking about an 'air of legality'? An air of people who know the laws and are familiar with the issues? An 'air' of people who know what they're talking about? Is that what you're saying?
I don't see how having people present who know the facts and statistics of the issues would conflict with 'themes and policies'.
How do you come up with themes and policies if you don't have facts readily available?
I'm missing something here... it still doesn't make sense.
Your mistake is that Obama cares about laws in the first place. It isn’t MY reasoning, it is Obama’s reasoning. No official enforcement representation present.
He just didn’t and doesn’t want the opportunity to arise that one of his minions would grow a pair and suddenly get some ethics during some cabalish meeting of the principals involved..
He let some guy from the KGB (whatever it’s called today) come... But I get your point Gaffer. Thanks for sharing.
