Obama Told Civil Rights Activists: Keep Ferguson ‘Staying On Course’
Staying on WHAT course?
Why is our Dear Leader, or Instigator in Chief, going to Ferguson to keep fomenting racial tensions? Sheesh.

Just thinking out loud on this one
We need to buckle up for the two undoubtedly interesting remaining years of The One's regime.
Then either you aren't paying attention, or you have your rose-colored glasses on. Let's take inventory of a few items that have occurred under our Dear Leader:
2008 presidential election when a Black Panther posse blocked a polling station in Philadelphia, clad in paramilitary outfits and brandishing weapons. Ignored by the Justice Department.
Henry Gates, a friend of Obama and professor at Cambridge, is detained by police and ultimately arrested for disorderly conduct after a neighbor "reported him to be attempting to break into a front door" of a house at night that turned out to be his own. Obama's response? "The police acted stupidly." Be damned the facts.
George Zimmerman, acquitted of murder in the Trayvon Martin case, netted this jewel from The One: "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago...the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that - that doesn't go away." And let's not forget this nugget: "You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." Is that calming racial relations?
And most recently, Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm) sends Eric Holder to "oversee" the Ferguson investigation. Does Holder make an effort to calm down the masses? You be the judge: The need for "wholesale change" in the Ferguson, Missouri police department was "pretty clear."
There are many more examples, but I will not make this a marathon post. I recognize that you voted for Obama, but please be intellectually honest on what our Dear Leader and his administration has done over the past 6 years. He HAS race-baited and he HAS stirred the flames of racial hatred when given half a chance. That is not what a leader does. It is what a junior community organizer occupying the White House would do.
It sounds like something intended to calm racial tensions, although I am not saying it was wise or effective.
"The need for "wholesale change" in the Ferguson, Missouri police department was "pretty clear." "
I think the need for wholesale change in law enforcement is pretty clear too, but not for the reasons associated with the shooting. I think people are fed up with police abuse, and they're responding to this as though the police are lying, even though the evidence in the case (from what I've heard) appears to favor the police.
" It is what a junior community organizer occupying the White House would do."
A background in community organizing would not make him want to make racial tensions worse.
I did not know about the Justice Department ignoring people obstructing voting. That event though does not make the president at the time, President Geoge W Bush, a racist or someone who purposely ignores racism.
You're being rather selective in your interpretation of the examples I've provided. Voter obstruction was referred to the Justice Department and ultimately dismissed by guess who? Eric Holder of our Dear Leader's Justice Department. You can read more about the chronology here: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/federa...
Anyone with objectivity would see these as examples representing a pattern of "stirring the pot", nothing less.
