Confronting another killing of police officers, President Barack Obama on Sunday urged Americans to tamp down inflammatory words and actions as a violent summer collides with the nation’s heated presidential campaign.

Obama said the motive behind Sunday’s killing of three officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was still unknown. It was the latest in a string of deadly incidents involving law enforcement, including the police shooting of a black man in Baton Rouge and the killing of five officers in Dallas.

“We as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies attacks on law enforcement,” Obama said in remarks from the White House briefing room. […]

“We don’t need inflammatory rhetoric. We don’t need careless accusations thrown around to score political points or to advance an agenda. We need to temper our words and open our hearts … all of us,” Obama said. …

He calls for “Unity” only when it’s politically expedient or shifting the blame

“Unity”

Campaign, 2008
Cop killings, 2016

Hope you saw the whole thing.

He’s admitting and bragging who and what he is.

And most of the country is asleep and on cruise control; unable to figure out why all this sudden chaos.

I love House of Cards, and that was the creepiest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Excellent analysis. I make the exact same point all the time. Obama speaks so calmly and has such agreeable manners that most people don’t notice how reckless and spiteful his rhetoric is.

A real leader would simply say, “I know emotions are running high, but every one should remain calm and let the legal system figure it out.” Instead he has wrongfully suggested Zimmerman was guilty, the Ferguson cop was a murder, and the Baltimore 7 were out of control. One of these days, he’ll probably guess right, but for the most part he’s advanced a narrative that simply is not true.

Obama is bad news....for everyone....but especially black people.

Classic Liberal/Progressive deception. Blame others for what they are doing. It occurs so often that it can be predicted. Of course they (including Odunghole) never admit any responsibility.
