With Ferguson, Missouri, bracing for a second night of violence and vandalism in the wake of the grand jury decision, President Obama warned protesters that “nothing of significance, nothing of benefit results from destructive acts.”
“I’ve never seen a civil rights law or a health care bill or an immigration bill result because a car got burned,” Obama said at an afternoon event in Chicago today originally scheduled to promote his recent immigration action. "It happened because people vote. It happened because people mobilized. It happened because people organized.”
he president, who was briefed earlier today on the situation in Ferguson by Attorney General Eric Holder, said a grand jury decision not to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown should be respected. But he said frustration over real or perceived police injustice was legitimate and needs to be addressed.
“I have no sympathy at all for destroying your own communities. But for the overwhelming majority of people who just feel frustrated and pain, because they get a sense that maybe some communities aren't treated fairly or some individuals aren't seen as worthy as others, I understand that,” Obama said. “And I want to work with you, and I want to move forward with you. Your president will be right there with you."
Obama said a series of regional meetings between federal, state and local law enforcement officials and community and faith leaders would begin next week. They will be focused on “building trust” between communities and policy, and developing strategies to “make sure that law enforcement is fair.”

Well he needed to say it. He has a long history of race baiting and loving race baiters, but at least at this moment he said the right thing.
According to the DUmp, the police started the fires!

Bowbama is a BIG PART of the problem!
> This makes me sick. Obama and Holder at DOJ have been aiding, abetting, training and supporting the revolutionaries in Ferguson and encouraging them to riot and loot to stir up Obama’s base of support in the Black community.
Obama mis calculated and over reached to manufacture a disaster in Ferguson.
Now he is desperate to cover up his involvement and hide from the tragic consequences of his irresponsible and disastrous actions to stir up trouble in Ferguson
He is certainly trying to get whitey to react any way he can. Can’t wait to see him broke and homeless after Moochie files for divorce and takes half of everything he owns and the lawsuits take the rest.
That POS endorsed the actions of the Furguson protestors. He aided the orchestration of the mobilization of the people for Furguson: Chimp out 2014
I wonder where he and holder will MC Chimp out 2015?
It’s truly a great thing when the president takes such initiative to support his people!
So much for a “post racial “ president. An EPIC fail!
I have to ask, also, Farrakhan?... where was he? Were the MB into it up to their elbows?
Where is his “I built that” speech?
They are overwhelmingly destroying businesses owned by other black people in Ferguson. Does he realize it. Doesn’t he at least say “Stop!”
Of course, obamination has no sympathy for them. He plays them like a violin and they are too stupid to realize they are only pawns in his perverted game.
“I feel your pain!”
Get them out
Ah
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool baby, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket, pack your bags
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far,
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire, huah
All wet, hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred, sixty five degrees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes, I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work say baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
Go ahead
Burning down the house
My house, is out of the ordinary
That's right, don't want to hurt nobody
Some things, sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fightin' fire with fire, huah
Yea
Burning down the house
Burning down the house
Burning down the house

BS
Rather lame attempt attempt at CYA, Mister _resident.
How many of the looters have been shot?
Only Obama is bad enough to surpass W. Wilson Goode when it comes to burning down the entire neighborhood.
He’s never had sympathy for anyone but himself.
Which is it, 0dumbo? Do you have no sympathy or do you understand it? Like it or not you're speaking to the same situation with both sentiments. You're either too dumb to be president or you're purposely fanning the flames. Your track record indicates the latter.
You could have fooled me.
I have yet to read about a SINGLE ARREST of any RIOTER....anywhere across the Nation!
The Clown Prince continously lies. Everyone knows it. He is a psychopath and chronic liar. Nothing he says is not a lie...a distortion...or distraction. He is a Destroyer..a criminal. He should be imprisoned.
