Obama on Garner: 'My Tradition is Not to Remark on Cases'

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.

Barry H.O. was a (community organizer) but never a Constitutional Professor.....Sen. Obama has often referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor” out on the campaign trail. He never held any such title. And I think anyone, if you ask anyone in academia the distinction between a professor who has tenure and an instructor that does not, you’ll find that there is … you’ll get quite an emotional response....another media/White House myth! Bary H.O. was an adjunct teacher/professor....

Don't have to backtrack on my remarks.

Hahahahahaha.....what a liar.

“If Obama’s lips are moving, he is lying!”

Glad i’m not the only one with the memory of a Petco GOLDFISH.

SHEESH

I knew Obama was not very intelligent when he spoke on the Gates case.

He actually said “Gates is a friend of mine. And I do not know all the facts in the case.” But then said “it appears the cop acted stupidly”.

IE,, I have a personal bias for one side. I do not know what really happened. The other side from my friend acted stupidly.

Only a -very- sheltered person could make such a statement.

A shameless liar and fraud like this country has never seen before in high office. Even Slick Willie looks honest next to Obama, well, almost.

[yoe]

Alzheimers?

No. Dangerously narcissistic; his disorder is an illness making him preoccupied with self....his meltdown is beginning to show with his totally unconstitutional by-pass of the congress on Immigration. He really is treacherous.....tell your elected to Stop the man!!!

[Former Proud Canadian]

Here is the really strange part: He was elected and re-elected by a majority of your fellow citizens who voted.

If that doesn't depress you I don't know what will.

[WayneS]

Maybe there are actually two or three of him and they can’t keep track of what each other are saying.

Lying comes so naturally....he’s the best since Billy Blythe...

If that doesn’t depress you I don’t know what will.

I’m still dumbfounded. I can see being dumb once, but twice - there is no excuse.

[Sacajaweau]

However, I do invite the parents of my sons to the white house and send Eric to keep Whitey under control. “I hate Whitey”....can you tell??

[Sacajaweau]

Maybe because everyone knows this guy has a criminal record a mile long...30 arrests in as many years....including assault, resisting arrest, grand larceny....

[TigersEye]

LIAR!

[TigersEye]

Only a -very- sheltered person could make such a statement.

That is the most generously diplomatic way to say 'blithering idiot' that I've ever seen.
