I think it's pretty obvious to any thinking person that Obama's handling of Ferguson has been just about as inept and divisive as many of his actions throughout his career. Rather than rambling about how "unfair" it is that blacks are "profiled" by police, he could have handled it differently. Perhaps in such a way as to defuse a bad situation. Rather than inflame tensions that lead to violence and destruction by a small number of savages in our communities. Not black people, a specific group of thugs and animals.
How about, if Mr. Obama had said something to the effect....
"We have a legal system that has looked at this case, deliberated it extensively, and concluded that the officer did nothing wrong. That in fact, he was violently attacked, not by an innocent teen, but by a violent thug. One that had just committed a crime and weighed in at nearly 300 lbs. Wouldn't any of us have been in fear for their life if attacked by such an individual? I certainly would have. A young man is dead, not because he is black, but because he acted like a criminal and attacked a law enforcement officer. Please, everyone, settle down. When questioned by police, act like the polite, decent human beings that you would like to be treated as. Not as a vicious thug. A man is dead because of his actions. The country doesn't have to bleed because of this. I tell you this as both your president, and as a black man."
Or something similar, instead of performing to a specific audience and giving some credence to whines of "unfairness". Would it had made a difference if our first black president acted like the leader of this country instead of someone pandering for the minority vote? If he had acted as a leader...instead of a victim?

No matter what he said you still would have found something about it to criticize him. I can't wait till he's out of office so all the whining can come to an end.
I'm not sure you can be impeached for incompetence and ignorance.
You can't this is something that comes natural, Obama no way. He picks and chooses, which situations he is going to say something about, and we all know which ones they are.
What about the world war Two Vet who was killed by 2 blacks, why nothing said about that. One story is just as important as another. We cannot communicate and make things better, and try to understand, when people act a fool and like animals.
I do not remember vets acting this way, when one of theirs was killed. And what was the reason why a man was gunned down in the streets, and then burned, and we are suppose to feel sorry for these animalistic people, do not think so. I hope the trouble makers are thrown in jail, and their sorry asses, can pay for the damage they have done.

I tried to give you a positive rating, but, it wouldn't let me. So all I can say is "amen brother"
Obama didn't pick a side what the hell are people talking about?!
