But what would you have him say? He has been trying to sit on the fence as best he can. Should he not acknowledge the deaths of some African Americans at the hands of police as questionable at all?

Obama doesn't have to comment on anything. He chooses to blame guns rather than the murderers.

What's hilarious is your thought that Obama HAS to comment on anything.

Right. So don't even acknowledge a controversial death that's all over the news. That'll play well.

No, he should not. He doesn't comment about whites who got killed by cops, so why does he comment about blacks?

Police shootings are not part of Obama's job. But he's a racist and chooses to defend the blacks who get shot by cops and chooses to ignore whites that are shot by cops.

Obama is a racist and fans the flames of racism at every opportunity.

Be clear please. His words, may be the root cause of some of the bullets flying. His tone his attitude, and which cases, he chose to make a statement. How many times did we hear his nonsense, and in some cases silent. Why is that. Some people can't handle truth.


BLM is nothing but a hateful spiteful vengeful group, he invites to the W.H. how lovely of him to do so.


He has taken power away from the police, by many of his very spiteful remarks. Let those people who don't like police, take care of their own, from here on out. You can like it or not, I don't care, and not afraid to say the truth as I and many others see it. His attitude and comments past and recent, cannot be excused.

What plays well with racists is how he chooses which controversial death to comment on. Yes, that plays well.

Do you think whether Obama comments or not that will make a difference in black anger toward suspicious deaths of African Americans at the hands of police?

If you think Obama's comments are driving the black anger at police, rather than the killings themselves, you clearly have no clue.

And they encourage people to kill cops. But Obama doesn't care.

Maybe he will meet with the KKK soon to show his balanced position.

Yes. As stupid as it appears, lots of people listen to Obama.
