Obama Praises George Floyd Protests: ‘Makes Me Feel Optimistic’
Breitbart ^ | 11 Jun 2020 | Penny Starr

Posted on 06/11/2020 11:47:12 PM PDT by SaveFerris

The Washington Post on Thursday opened an online interview with Valerie Jarrett about race with a montage of peaceful protests and an appraisal of them in the wake of George Floyd’s death from her former boss, Barack Obama.

“When sometimes I feel despair I just see what’s happening with young people all across the country and the talent, and the voice, the sophistication that they are displaying and it makes me feel optimistic,” Obama said. “It makes me feel … this country is going to get better.”

Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty called the protests sparked after Floyd, a black man who died at the hands of Minneapolis police, “peaceful” and made no mention of the widespread violence at many of them.

That violence has taken place in major American cities over the past two weeks where stores were looted and burned, monuments and historic buildings vandalized, and police were driven out of their precincts, some of which were set ablaze or taken over by protesters.

I, for one, am happy the looters are driving such nice cars.

I would hate for them having to steal in a clunkers-for-cash car. That would be awful.

I look around and I see the destruction and growing tyranny occurring worldwide and I feel hope.

FUBO.

Why?

Is he currently too terrified to leave Martha’s Vineyard?

I’m sure it does give him hope for the destruction of America.

Great job, Democrats. Really great job. Thanks!

The only reason this douche spent 8 years raising his “civilian army” of thugs was to raise hell if he and his henchmen ever got in political trouble.

Spygate erupts, subpoenas are coming for the Coup Cluck Clan, and presto! The mobs gather in record speed. The reaction to the Floyd killing was just a test run. More riots will break out if any of this demon’s minions get indicted.

obama and ilk are the ones that fomented this racist crap- throwing fuel on the fires- and now those fires have burnt down countless businesses- and obama is optimistic? Really?

Anymore questions about whether or not he was Anti-American>?

Here’s a little pick-me-up. Barack speaking to the people of the world with some really, really, really great music. Inspiring!

Race relations were steadily improving until this POS hit the scene.

Sorry I’m not getting to all the replies.

The Democrats remind me of the hotel night clerk (or whatever) where Corporal Melvin had lived in “The Manchurian Candidate” (2004 version).

It’s really a great movie. Raymond Shaw was such a great speaker. Really knew how to move the audience.

Denzel was promoting a nut-job conspiracy!

Yep. I’ll try to read more of the replies tomorrow. Saw this one where I went to Breitbart a little while ago.

I understand. At some point you are just too tired.
