During a town hall with members of the military, President Obama was asked what he thought of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernicks protest against the national anthem prior to football games.
Obama appeared to equate the two positions pointing out that he wanted Kaepernick to understand why people might be angry at his protest, while also urging military families to listen to the NFL players who joined Kaepernick by drawing attention to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Obvious Obama is trying to bring down military morale. Might have been what he’s been wanting out of this more than anything else.
Just burn the flag and get it over with.
The screws are turning....
I hope Barry has a nice non-extraditable country picked out so he can move there the day before President Trump takes office.
MPs do your job and get this communist off the base.
Once upon a time, baseballer Darryl Strawberry moaned that he was being treated like ‘Dred Scott in Johannesburg’ (South Africa was still under apartheid then).
Back then, the press still tried to their jobs, especially when investigating claims of racial persecution. And so, one of them approached Strawberry in the clubhouse.
Reporter: ‘Who was Dred Scott?’
Strawberry: ‘I don’t know.’
Reporter: ‘Where is Johannesburg?’
Strawberry: ‘I don’t know.’
Magically, all media interest vanished at that point, not that Strawberry had any legitimate claim to begin with.
Today’s gormless media not only amplify the inanities of a second-string quarterback who may or may not have a degree in basket-weaving from - wait for it - the U of Nevada, they seem singularly uninterested in exploring what the protester might know. In other words, Kaepernick is protesting (actually, seeking publicity) and that’s good enough for them.
The Kaepernick phenomenon could be deflated tomorrow if he was asked some tough questions about details, timelines, statistically significant numbers, etc. But what would ESPN do with the other 23.5 hours in the day?
Barry is sorry SOB.....and I do mean Bitch. This sorry shit hates the Military and most Americans in general.
W .. T .. F !!! Just when you think bammy can't get any more stupid, any more un-American, any further away from his duties as CIC... He turns around and says some idiotic excrement like this. Hey, pal, you are COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES. Our flag means something to us, something very positive, even if it apparently doesn't mean anything to you, you POS.
A traitor of the highest magnitude.
Obama enjoys hating the military, and sending GI’s to go die for America.
Obama enjoys destroying America, which the GI’s love/
The NFL went on strike during the Vietnam War, and REFUSED to redistribute films to the GI’s fighting for, and dying for, America.
Why should I support either one?
Kaepernick is the left’s idea of a hero: rich, spoiled and elitist. There’s nothing creepier than when Obama puts a MOH on the neck of a real hero. He desecrates everything he touches.
“...President Obama was asked what he thought of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick...”
My response to him would have been, “never heard of her.”
Obama never misses an opportunity to encourage chaos.
bam plays for the other team.
So far we have only seen 2 reported incidents of Navy service personnel being this stupid. Court Martial is in order. It is Mandatory to stand for the Anthem. I put the link to the article up on this page so look for it. It has also been FR posted.
DUMBO just sent another 500 to Iraq.
Trump insist on National Anthem being played when told it’s to late.

If Trump is elected, Obama will probably find a way to avoid the swearing in ceremony. He’ll make an excuse not to be there.
re:
“DUMBO just sent another 500 to Iraq.”
He must have figured out another 500 offerings to the god of death, would buy him something, somehwere, while the 500 all say ‘not today!’
