White House Praises Protestors After Forcing University of Missouri President To Step Down
Breitbart ^ | 11/09/15 | Charlie Spiering

The Obama administration is praising protesters who successfully forced University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe to announce his resignation.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest praised the group of protesters for rallying together and demanding change, pointing out that Obama’s first presidential campaign was embodied by the same spirit.

“I think this also illustrates something that the president talked a lot about in the context of – in his campaign, that a few people speaking up and speaking out can have a profound impact on the communities where we live and work,” he said during the daily press briefing today.

The group of students accused Wolfe of enabling “a culture of racism” on campus and ignoring student concerns about recent events. Wolfe resigned after members of the college football team joined the protests, saying they wouldn’t suit up for the next game.

“That’s the kind of dialogue and work and unity that the Mizzou community is going to need to make progress on this issue,” Earnest said, in reaction to the decision calling it “a testament to the courage of the people on campus.”

Who’s the racist? He called the woman who raised him a “typical white woman.”

This is all going to end very, very badly.

It's all part of the plan. Expect more pot stirring between now and the election. Many of us have said for seven long years, he'll start something as an excuse to declare martial law, cancel the elections and declare himself der leader.

Check out the leader of this fiasco, Student Government President Payton Head:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/paytonhead - Notice that Chicago pops up in this community organizers’ resume. The only thing he left out was the week in 3rd grade he was in charge of clapping the blackboard, uh, make that “green” board erasers after school.

http://www.hercampus.com/school/mizzou/payton-head - Awww, a widdle King Obama.

https://twitter.com/MSAPresident - Just a bit of a narcissist there with the twitter name.

Sorry, I don’t see that sort of thing happening. He’d need the Clintons to go along with it, and instead you’d have Hillary doing the Yeltsin-on-a-tank thing.

I have no sympathy for Wolfe. He sowed the wind of political correctness, and he has reaped the whirlwind. It serves him right.

It was a setup. What is next?
By the way the former University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe probably was the sort to support these kind of protests until he became the target.

"... a few people speaking up and speaking out can have a profound impact on the communities where we live and work"

That's true, an it's not surprising that the word 'positive' was not included as the customary adjective for 'impact.'

It's also an adjective missing from 'fundamentally transform.'

This administration never says what O would would replace western civilization with - likely a Sorosian deathtopia - but there's no doubt the agenda is to first destroy western civilization.

Pretty much everything this administration says is an aggression or at best conspicuous omission of affection towards America.

They will show up, but they shouldn’t.
