President Barack Obama told a gathering of law enforcement officials on Monday that he was critical to their efforts to reconcile with the black community: “I’m your best hope,” he declared, according to a police official quoted by the Washington Post. The gathering took place as Obama prepares to visit Dallas, where five police officers were murdered Thursday at a Black Lives Matter protest. Obama has spoken out in defense of law enforcement, but has also echoed criticisms of racial disparities in policing.
While some fault Obama for worsening relations between law enforcement and the black community — dating to his 2009 claim that police had “acted stupidly” in arresting a Harvard professor at his own home — Obama’s experience as the nation’s first black president has apparently convinced him that he is the only one who can solve the problem.
Some police, apparently, agree. James Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, apparently responded to Obama by saying “I don’t disagree,” according to the Post.
Obama has cast himself in a mediating role before. When he first took office, he granted his first television interview to the Al-Arabiyya network of Saudi Arabia, and cast himself as a go-between:
Now, my job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world that the language we use has to be a language of respect. I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries … And my job is to communicate to the American people that the Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives and see their children live better lives. My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy.

I wouldn’t advise booing, but turning their backs on him...excellent.
Then they put on their Trump MAGA hats and turn back around.
I was gonna go with “then we’re screwed”.
One off comment: this kinda seems the sort of statement made by someone not planning on leaving power anytime soon. He wasn’t saying that Democraps were our best hope, no, that he was.
Limbaugh Theorem 2.0
Trash the existing social order and unleash chaos, and then offer yourself as the only solution.
If Obama is the answer, it must be a really stupid question.
“Hope” is not a course of action.

Since he created the problem anything he does will only make it worse. The normal chain of events out of the Liberals is to create a problem and then in trying to fix it they make it worse.
That would be really depressing if true. It’s not true.
Obama, the dumbest smart guy, ever!
“apparently responded to Obama by saying “I don’t disagree,”
He’s just being courteous Barry
Obi won and now he thinks he is our only hope.
Seriously. You’d think 300,000 people had shown up to hear him give a speech in front of Greek columns or something.
Jugears is taking a hit in his overall favor ability as Americans know that he is clearly a racist and race baiter. Today Rasmussen reports that his approval is sinking like the Titanic down to 48% with 51% disapprove.
More lies from the liar and agitator.
I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,
Obama’s statements reminds me of the movie “Mars Attacks’ when the Martians have the translator device blaring “Don’t run! We are your friends!” while vaporizing people at the same time.
