President Obama now aligned with Rev. Al Sharpton on race issues

Is Al Sharpton president of the United States? Or just attorney general?

I ask because it’s not clear where the rabble-rousing rev’s agenda ends and White House policy begins. These days, they are one and the same.

President Obama erased the final distinction Friday by describing the Florida shooting case exclusively in racial terms. Obama’s headline-grabbing statement that “Trayvon Martin could have been me” and his attempt to justify black anger were straight out of Sharpton’s playbook.

*snip*

* Consider that Sharpton called for demonstrations against the verdict, then it was revealed that the Justice Department had financed protests. Obama said Friday that demonstrations were “understandable.”

* Sharpton called for an end to “stand your ground” laws like Florida’s, and Attorney General Eric Holder echoed the goal. Obama suggested Friday such laws add to violence, though he conceded the law was not part of the trial.

* Sharpton called for a civil-rights probe of Zimmerman, and Holder promised one. Later, the Justice Department held a conference call with the NAACP and other liberal groups and promised to created an e-mail address to solicit tips on Zimmerman. Aides say Obama supports Holder’s decision.

It’s how they think if you call it thinking.

He’s been aligned with the Sharptons/race-baiters of the country - just becoming more obvious now.

This whole debate has caused a significant change in my lifestyle.

In America, we don’t impeach kings, we do far worse to them and their soldiers.

Nobody elected him, yet his symbiotic relationship with Obama and Holder is more proof that Obama’s vow to be a post-partisan, post-racial president was a bigger hoax than Tawana Brawley.

America voted for Obama and got Sharpton.

IMHO, Obama's approval rating in the next poll drops like a rock.
