Obama on Garner: 'My Tradition is Not to Remark on Cases'
Breitbart ^ | December 3, 2014 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 12/04/2014 11:02:16 AM PST by upbeat5

In his remarks Wednesday on the non-indictment of the New York police officer who allegedly choked Eric Garner to death during a routine arrest, President Barack Obama claimed that he does not involve himself in such controversies. "My tradition is not to remark on cases where there may still be an investigation," he said.

The opposite is true: from Skip Gates to Trayvon Martin to Michael Brown, Obama nearly always weighs in.

Even more bizarre was the fact that Obama upstaged New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. The news networks had all been awaiting the mayor's press conference at 4:45 p.m. ET. Yet Obama broke in with his own remarks at about 4:43 p.m., interrupting his own pre-scheduled address to a gathering of Native American leaders at the White House to offer his take on the grand jury decision before local officials had their chance to react.

I truly am living in a parallel universe. Does this man actually believe what he said? If he does then he is definitely certifiable. Truly nuts.

This guy is such a chronic liar, he has no clue how obvious his lies are, or he doesn’t care which is just as bad if not worse.

I guess it depends on what the definition of “remark” is.

Instead of racial healing, the first Black president is intent on creating a national racial war - 2 years can’t come quick enough.

All that he is doing is sending the federal government into local law enforcement issues. Why do that, well..geez..getting to where the feds could control the people if they so desired. The feds should not be putting the heavy boot on local police departments. The political correct polices is already a cancer on our law enforcement community. I can see the bigger picture from my window so I don’t trust Obama to stay out of these issues.
