....Obama appeared wary today about the National Guard being sent to Ferguson, Missouri, saying he urged the governor to ensure the troops were involved in a "limited" way.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the state's National Guard to be deployed to the city this morning after another violent night of clashes between protesters and police over the shooting death of Michael Brown on Aug. 9.

he urged the governor to ensure the troops were involved in a "limited" way. "Let the looters have their way."

I believe that The Queer-In-Charge is wary, due to the Governor using The National Guard, which the Q-I-C thinks belongs to HIM!
A governor doing something, without asking, “Mother, may I?”, of the Indecisive One, SHOULD make the Q-I-C wary!
It’s called The 10th Amendment!

I dont buy it. The whole cluster hump has all the hallmarks of a typical Obama Chaos plan.
This would not happen in a state with a NON-RAT Governor.

The Missouri National Guard has been training for this.

The whole cluster hump has all the hallmarks of a typical Obama Chaos plan. I'm afraid you may be right. While neither he nor Holder fomented or predicted this particular mess they had scripted a response to exploit the first one that broke out.
Consider: thugs in the street demanding a lynching and the bastard tells them not to be "hurtful." The attorney general has reviewed the case several times, and can only promise more investigations. As the thugs transform a city to a wilderness, neither of these 'leaders' bothers to state that our legal system is the only entity that can determine guilt and deliver justice.
Oh yes, and the cops: tanks, snipers, camo and kevlar, storm-trooper helmets, tanks and hummers and kleig-lights and bull-horns, and all they do is watch property burn and businesses get looted. Civil authority has never looked so pathetic and forlorn.
The barbarians are in the gates and leadership has completely collapsed. It's time for the saviour to ride in.
The Iranians could be chronologically right but geographically wrong. The return of the Mahdhi may be imminent but his present abode isn't Iran, it's Martha's Vineyard.

You know folks, we give Obama a hard time, but it's really taxing to keep your golf score. And if he's in a foursome and keeps score for everyone, why you can come home positively worn out. /s
