President Obama on Tuesday telephoned the family members of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, who were killed in separate police shootings last week in Louisiana and Minnesota.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama called the families while traveling aboard Air Force One, en route to the Dallas memorial service for five police officers who were killed last week. Earnest said Obama wanted to "offer his and the first lady's condolences on behalf of the American people for the death of their loved ones."

He is not only the worst president ever, he is the worst man and it is not close.

My Guess:....The police chief made it crystal clear before Obama’s visit, that he expected them to act
‘professionally’, meaning, don’t straight out embarrass the president, OR ELSE! Their pensions, future evaluations, future assigned duties and locations, their scheduled promotions were clearly on the chopping block.

Did Ted ask Obama for the phone so he could extended his condolences to, and explain that it was Trump’s fault because Trump has worked up the racism and hate these cops were experiencing towards their good loved ones who were needless cut down?

Did he even consider calling the families of the police officers who were killed?

The audacity of a dope.

I like the lawsuit communication better.

Klayman is suing on behalf of “law enforcement persons of all race and ... Obama and Holder conspired and strategized with Black Lives Matter ...

Why was he trying to crack jokes during the Memorial service?

Obama’s joke:

“Chief Brown, I’m so glad I met Michelle first because she loves Stevie Wonder,” Obama said, jokingly referencing Dallas Police Chief David Brown’s earlier speech in which Brown quoted lyrics from the song “As” in tribute to the deceased. The president looked around the room, pointed at Brown and cracked a grin while the audience laughed at and applauded his joke. “Most of all, the families…” Obama said, proceeding with his speech.

Obama would refer to himself 43 more times throughout the speech — most of which he personally wrote, according to the LA Times — including one instance where he referred to himself in the third-person: “the president.”

Truth be told, he was dragged kicking and screaming to Dallas.

It ruins his cred to those down with the struggle.
