Obama calls for calm after Ferguson decision, sees improved US race relations
Fox News ^ | November 23, 2014

Posted on 11/24/2014 12:34:17 AM PST by Olog-hai

President Obama on Sunday called for calm after the announcement of the pending grand jury decision in Ferguson, Mo., and argued that race relations in the U.S. have significantly improved in the past 10 years.

“My own experience tells me race relations continue to improve,” Obama said on ABC’s “This Week,” in an interview taped last week. “There’s no way to say race relations are worse than 20, 50 years ago.”

The much-anticipated announcement—whether a white police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, will be indicted in connection with the incident—is now not expected until at least Monday. …

Oh pure bullshittie!

He (Obola and Holder and their ABCNNBCBS news media) have been DRIVING and PROMOTING Ferguson since September to ignite their racist black base to generate votes and egos and emotions for the November election.

Well, November 4 has come and gone. And he doesn’t need the racist crowds on the TV any more.

Barry keeps telling the police they need to prove themselves.
How about young men of all colors not having an attitude and making trouble with the police. That right there will cut a lot of problems right there.

I’m certainly going to argue against his unicorn view of race relations. He is the poster child for ever worsening black/white relations, despite what the country in general might desire. We cannot escape the daily assault on our race sensitivities coming from the white house megaphone, amplifier, loudspeaker, and daily drone.

I note that the Obamanation chooses to compare present race relations to those of decades ago. He dares not compare them to the recent past during which they have worsened precipitously; in other words, during his and Eric Holder's race-baiting watch.

Self aggrandizing hog swallop!

Six years ago one could say that race relations had greatly improved over the previous 30 or 40 years. Thanks specifically to 0bama and his race-baiting demagoguery the situation may actually be worse than it ever has been.

Race relations were not bad until Obama and the anti-white racist Eric Holder came into power.

So an increase in black on every color crime is an improvement?
Apparently so to dear leader The Supreme Jugears.

This President has single-handedly set race relations back 50 years! He intervenes and makes public statements when he should shut up and he shuts up when he should be involved. Nobody honestly observing race relations in the US since 2008 can say the country is in any way, shape or form more united than before.

Everyone here should know d*mn well anything this fraud says or speaks about is a d*mn lie no matter what topic/subject is.
I’ve read on Drudge most recently he’s amenable to stopping by Ferg in the very near future which means two things.

It’s been reported the cardinal of confusion, the bishop of prick MAY stop by in Ferg.
Either he stops by BEFORE a decision from the grand jury is handed down or AFTER. He could be called to make a statement to the press. If he makes a private statement to local authorities he’s still screwed . Thoaw demonstratos WANT him there to lead them. He’s their “hero”.

And if he does align himself with the crowds in the street the “killer cop” then down goes again, the United States of America. I bet you he truly believes these rioters are correct in demonstrating.

this group has been created to rabble rouse; cause civil unrest;perhaps kill or maim, then it will be known far and wide he is visibly supporting civil unrest and that’s a
d*mn shame and it’s a crime ,too.

I’m all for expressing one’s opinion but a leader of the so-called free world is in collusion with Eric Holder on directives that have been issued by the DOFU (dept of f*ckUppery)in his name and statments for the Ferg police to use restraint.

We also have in hand the” very “ Reverend Al (i worked a deal out with the IRS on my back taxes) Sharpton who has tremendous mileage in clocking in on the visitor’s log at the WH not only doe Ferg but all his prior visits.

Odd & how strange how very Reverend Jesse Jackson hasn’t been seen in months.It’s my opinion Jesse has a lot on his plate having his son in jail.I believe the Rev Jesse has been told to lay low. The daily mail uk most recently reported on Jesses’ “other daughter” out of wedlock but he wasn’t smeared for it either. I never say in the US papers

THere may be a purpose to the censoring & imprisonment of Jesse Jackson , Jr (is that his name?) and the sentencing,too. Jesse knows Tony Rezko and so does Jesses’ son. I wonder where Junior is locked up and Rezko,too.

This past week an article was posted ( iforget where)
about a hut meeting with individuals who leading players in the Ferg debacle and to the best of my memory Rev Al was in attendance.

What is particularly worrying is what was reported regarding the hut’s top “chef” and he reportedly told them to “keep the course”, etc, etc.

If the top chef does travel to Ferg you will see in public the full-blown narcissistic pathology that resides within .

And that my friends is TOTALLY sick to me and it makes me want to throw-up because he will have revealed his true colors

I think i’m done now explaining my thoughts and opinions.
I do hope there is something for you to take away from my post.
Thanks!

Did he have a message for people who are losing tax money on providing health care, education, and social services for illegal aliens?

What about people who are being raped and robbed by them?

Or people who have loved ones murdered by the same?

Any message for them, BO?

Let’s not forget that the department if “Just-Us” helped finance the protests that brought that well known inciter of violence, and msnbc host, Al Sharpton, to the party.

I wish this would have been finished last week. I’m supposed to drive down to St Louis for Thanksgiving with my family. I hope there aren’t riots, either over the time I’m there, or any other time.

But I’m pretty sure that the foundation has been laid for riots, thanks to Barky and the gang...
