"The death of Michael Brown is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and his community at this very difficult time," Obama said.
"I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions, but as details unfold, I urge everyone in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the country, to remember this young man through reflection and understanding," the President said in a statement. "We should comfort each other and talk with one another in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. Along with our prayers, that’s what Michael and his family, and our broader American community, deserve."

Two questions:
1) Did Valerie Jarrett notify you of this opportunity and get the MSM in place to do an interview about the evils of guns and white police officers as soon as it came across the wire?
2) Would you have done this for a white teenager. I doubt it.

Wait a minute - isn’t he supposed to be vacationing? Can’t he just eat his waffle?

That's because some men just like to watch the world burn.
People like Obama.

"The death of Michael Brown is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and his community at this very difficult time," Obama said. How about "The looting and rioting is deplorable."

He never said a word about Steve Utash in Detroit.

This could have been Obama’s son. Any of the looters could have been his sons and/or daughters. That’s what’s heartbreaking. The Great OZ has spoken.
