In Ferguson, Missouri, where the facts of the police shooting that killed Michael Brown have yet to be presented by the grand jury, an entire community braces for violence if the “wrong” decision is announced. While waiting, the Obama administration huddled with those who have a history of inciting racial violence and are heading to Ferguson.

What are we seeing here? It’s very clear and utterly unsurprising. On the one hand, in Ferguson, with an entire population on edge, the president and his attorney general are plainly siding with the lynch mob.

His 9-year-old daughter, the youngest of his three children, is a U.S. citizen. And if details leaked about Obama's plan are true, that means Mario, who asked that only his first name be used to protect his family, could soon have a chance to get a work permit and avoid deportation.
The President's plan to bypass Congress is a controversial move that has riled Republican leaders who say Obama is overstepping his constitutional bounds. It's also come under fire from those who want a more extensive overhaul and drawn swift opposition from critics who call it an unfair amnesty that rewards lawbreakers.
Even among the millions of people who could be directly impacted by whatever Obama says, reactions are already mixed.
Some are excited, some are skeptical, some are anxious and some are angry. One thing is clear: When Obama speaks in a highly anticipated address Thursday night, they'll be listening....."
Looks like the powers that be have decided to release the news on a weekend where the predicted weather will unseasonably warm
