Bush also gave a eulogy at the memorial, and I didn't hear him use that platform to make his case that invading Iraq was a good idea. For Gods sake, when you are at a funeral, just honor the fallen. Does Obama not know he can call a prèss conference anytime he wants? Why didn't he just ask for campaign contributions for Hilary while he was at it?

Then Obama says we aren't as divided as people say.

Atta boy, Columbo.

He's having a televised tongue-wagging love-fest tonight on TV, unless he was pre-empted by an episode of "Different Strokes" or "What's Happening"...

As for the contributions, that may be included in his teleprompted spiel.

I am a legend in my own mind!

typical focus on one sentence in a speech

Seems some are unable to understand there is a huge difference
between black killing blacks thats crime thats murder thats thug life

and When the Police who are seen as authority.. " the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience."

Abuse that Authority with out reasonable justification, kill the un armed detain pull over harass.. But if you support that behavior from your police.. yet profess your love and cherish The Freedoms provided in the constitution !! your full of you know what

And based on the carnage in Chicago, he was a pretty damn bad community organizer. As you said, no surprise that after working his magic on the nationwide stage, that tensions are high.

First, that was a cowardly dodge. Instead of agreeing that what Obama said was obviously ridiculous, you criticize me for bringing it up. Second it was not a speech, it was a eulogy for slain cops. Am I going too fast for you?

I get that there is a difference between a citizen murdering another citizen, and a cop murdering a citizen. But (1) in the two recent cases of cop shootings, we are nowhere near ready to conclude that either one was a crime, and (2) if many times more blacks are killed by other blacks than by cops, why can't liberals prioritize accordingly?

Answer - politics. What happens in Chicago in an average weekend, doesn't help Democrats get more votes. So they ignore the body count. Normal people want to focus on saving as many lives as possible. Liberal politicians want to ignore the vast bloodbath, and focus on the tiny number of politically beneficial cases where cops are involved, all to gather political capital. And my side is racist?

Try making that wrong.
