Obama - "The buck stops with someone else!!"

The Fox piece tried to make it sound like we could have been bombing 18 months ago without any recognition that the situation 18 months ago would have made bombing quite problematic. I would assume we'd have military plans ready to go. Hell, we should have plans ready for just about any contingency. That doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want.

He also didn't throw the Ferguson cop under the bus...he just said we have our own problems at home. Regardless for the justification for the killing how the police and people responded certainly shows things are pretty screwed up.

Spence, thanks for making my point for me. Clapper said that "we", which necessarily includes himself, were wrong. Obama didn't say "we" were wrong, he said Clapper (someone else) was wrong. Don't blame him for anything!

As to the UN, we have absolutely no idea what the problem in Ferguson is. How about we do an investigation, before we conclude that there was any racial wrongdoing? If I was that cop's lawyer, then if he gets charged, I would argue that thanks to Obama's idiotic and irresponsible remarks, there's nowhere on Earth where the cop can get a fair trial. Everyone in the world has access to Obama's remarks. Isn't Obama a lawyer? Shouldn't he know this?

This is what happens when you elect a guy who is a community agitator, whose only skill is his ability to make people get out of his way, and give him what he wants, because he's black.

I am shocked, yes shocked, that you blindly came to his defense.
