Why does Obama feel need to apologize for America? Raises Brown shooting in UN speech about ISIS
The London Daily Mail ^ | September 25, 2014 | David Martosko, U.S. Political Editor

* US president spoke to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, castigating the ISIS terror group's 'network of death'
* Amid mentions of the Russia-Ukraine crisis and Iran's nuclear program, Obama seemed to apologize for a racially fraught shooting in Missouri
* A white police officer shot and killed a black teen on August 9 in a case that brought protesters out of the woodwork and sparked a DOJ inquest
* No charges have been brought against the police officer for killing Michael Brown, who had just come from committing a robbery but was unarmed
* Obama told the UN that 'America has plenty of problems within our own borders' and 'our own racial and ethnic tensions'

President Barack Obama brought the infamous shooting of Michael Brown, a Ferguson, Missouri teen, into his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, citing it as evidence that the United States has 'our own racial and ethnic tensions' that compare to the sectarian genocide and ethnic cleansing plaguing the Middle East.

His remarks focused mostly on armed clashes in Ukraine and on a vicious jihad in Iraq and Syria where a terror group has beheaded journalists for a global Internet audience, where hundreds of thousands have died, and where millions have fled as refugees.

'I realize that America's critics will be quick to point out that at times we too have failed to live up to our ideals; that America has plenty of problems within our own borders,' he told representatives of 193 countries gathered in New York City. 'This is true.'

I believe that when Barack Sr took Stanley Ann to Kenya to get his father’s blessing, that blessing was denied. Why that blessing was denied is at the root of Zer0’s problem. Barack Sr’s father, Hussein Onyango, hated the white man for the alleged torture he endured by the British. Whether this torture was fact or myth, it was a part of Zer0’s perception of why he never had his real dad. Zero saw America engaged in that same colonial activity as the British. It was that history, concocted by the haters of America that have infected Zer0’s mind and has distorted his image of America. Zero blames America for never having his real dad.

Obama is a commie, and commies seek to divide the people, whether it be along race, gender, economic status, sexual orientation, age, etc., lines.
Instead of being the post-racial POTUS the lying lame stream claimed him to be, B.O. is the most-racist ... altogether consistent with the fact that he is also the worst POTUS ever.

Our president is a black racist from Kenya. He is not an American, nor is he a friend of America.

Interesting you say that b/c when Clinton was about to exit he was acting the same way just more diplomatic about it. Yet there were those who said he also wanted to head the UN.

Whether Brown was attacking the policeman is irrelevant. The only thing that is relevant is that the cop was not black.

Just like in the Cambridge, Mass., incident and in the Trayvon Martin killing. If a black cop had arrested the professor, we never would have heard of it, and if George Zimmerman had identified as African-American (actually having African ancestry doesn't count unless you identify as African-American), that case would have received no notice.
