Obama begs for calm as rioters set fires and attack police cars in Ferguson [truncated]

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]

I sure didn’t see that as an appeal for calm. He was visibly angry, said all the rioters complaints were valid and told the police to back off.

am going to have to agree with Rush on this matter ... may obama fail. Anyone with common sense knows what this _res(id)ent is doing. Yep, the lame-stream media has no common sense. They exhibit that fact every day.

Elements of the black subculture have deteriorated to a feral state. Ahh...the noble savage of the 18th century now transported to America is shown to be ignoble, and lacking a basic education doesn’t grasp a biological fundamental. One does not destroy nor soil one’s habitat.

A parasite dependant on the host for sustenance must not injure that upon which it feeds. A tape worm can not insist on Caviar or prime rib. A tape worm must just stay passive and suck the nutrients from beans and cornbread.

The MSM knows what it’s doing. They’re carrying buckets of gasoline for The Won.

Can’t even imagine Reagan “begging” for people to stay calm.

Lol, yeah, just like I could picture PATTON "begging" for anything.
Some people belong on their knees (PimpPrex) and some people are born leaders: Patton, Reagan, who INSIST that people get up OFF their knees and be adults.

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.

You are 100% correct.
That is our PimpPrez, duly elected TWICE by those relatively few Americans who do bother to vote. THAT is a condemnation of the American VOTER, not of the PimpPrex or the Democrats. Voters KNEW exactly what they were voting for: Burn, baby, burn.

His "legacy"?: "Burn, baby, burn."

Black. White Pontiac coup. Window shot out.

All kinds of speculation. "Witness to Brown shooting." "Gang related." "Old score." Police investigating.

Obama “pleads for calm” the same way he opposed gay marriage - with a nod and a wink to his base.

Begging for calm???? Sounded more like the jug eared bastard was casually suggesting calm while he inflamed the participants.

More proof than no one listens to Barack Obama anymore other than a cadre of guilty whites.

Ha. Obama begs for calm.

Why am I reminded of Gene Wilder in this scene?
