President Barack Obama pleaded quietly for calm in Ferguson, Missouri on Monday night, speaking from the White House as rioters overtook streets in the St. Louis suburb and cable TV broadcasts showed them setting fires and attacking police cars. [snip]
The president said anger is an 'understandable reaction' from people who believe 'the law is being applied in a discriminatory fashion,' a reference to Wilson being white and Brown being black.
'What we need to do is try to understand them,' Obama said. [snip]

'Nuff Said ...
Can’t even imagine Reagan “begging” for people to stay calm.
Obama: “ Burn & loot, but stay calm”
Begs? Did they watch the same thing I did? He said basically their victimhood was justified 15 different ways.
Obama overheard on phone call, just before the speech: “okay Al, when I say ‘keep calm’, that’s the code for everyone to kick ass, got it?”
Did someone get killed and their body set on fire? One of my coworkers said he watched a report.
This is the same guy who said “stay the course.”
Yes. In the same complex near the Brown shooting.
I call for calm, but I understand (condone) your anger, so burning and looting and violence are understandable, and should be looked on as an acceptable response to this decision.
Yep
The family of Saint Skittles of Trayvon must be really angry not having the spot light anymore.
After asking for calm he went on to essentially say that the decision was an example of unjust racism by cops and nobody could blame the community if they DID riot and that if they did nothing should be done about it other than trying to “understand” them. He’s been pushing for riots since the day this thing happened.
Stoke the fire, then try peeing it out. Good job 0.
He needs to go the step farther and say something to the effect of
“burning down ‘our’ own communities is not productive”
Obola and his inJustice Department fanned the flames of civil unrest for months. They watched as terrorists planned the riots. They allowed the people to take over the street, loot and burn.
Then when all this was in motion, Obola give some weak ass comment saying we may not agree... “WE”...
Then, with gun shots going off in Ferguson, he asks for calm, just so he can look _residential.
The man is unfit to hold any public office.
Obama just wants to be certain the rioting and looting continues. Obama is an evil person.
He wasn’t begging for calm. He was telling them to burn baby burn.
They like to have it all ways.
I understand it perfectly.
