Obama Scolds TX Lt. Gov. for Saying Cops Don’t ‘Know in Their Hearts’ He’s On Their Side
Mediaite ^

Posted on 07/15/2016 12:46:45 PM PDT by detective

At tonight’s ABC town hall on race and gun violence, the lieutenant governor of Texas confronted President Obama over his reactions to shootings like in Dallas. Dan Patrick––no fan of Obama’s––said after Dallas that hatred against officers and anti-police rhetoric on social media fuels so much rage and hate.

Patrick told Obama that cops across the nation do not feel in their hearts that their president is on their side and doing everything he can to protect them. He suggested to the president that he should “consider being careful when there is an incident of not being too quick to condemn the police without due process and until the facts are known.”

At least the Lt. Governor told the truth. He should have admonished Obama far more strongly.

Obama fully exploits the fact that most Americans respect the OFFICE of the Presidency and are thus reluctant to blast him with both barrels.

Back in the day, a person could spend a day in the stocks for being a “common scold”.

From what I saw, he asked 0bama about putting the blue lights on the WH to show his support, and 0bama COMPLETELY IGNORED that comment, whilst scolding the guy.

Too bad about the new France terrorist attack, or more people may have had a chance to see 0bama’s slimy “town hall” meeting with the planted questions, platform designed only to make himself look wonderful and the rest of us to look racist.

I RESPECT the OFFICE but I will tell it just like it is in regards to Mr. Obama.

Good for the Lt. Governor....he should have said it more strongly than what he did...

Americans love their Police, they respect them, and they help protect their families while they are busy protecting the rest of us...

How dare this low class clown that is residing in Washington D.C. have any thing to say, lowest class of human that I have ever seen in my life...

O is on the side of the police just as much as he is on the side of America, Christianity, Judaism, moral values, economic prosperity, citizen liberties, the Constitution of the United States, defending America, UK, Europe, Israel, and apple pie.

how could anyone POSSIBLY doubt it?!

I sense people have been taking “mental notes” for the last few months now and see threats to our security in the USA and outside it.

Perhaps. But I don't really respect the office that much. Not anymore.

Maybe blue lights on our stuff can show our support?

Lots of blue LED options out there, for cars, boats, bikes, yard lights, camp lights, etc.

Be nice to surround the WH with thousands of blue lights when Hussein’s there.

IMHO, that may be because the President is both Head of State and Head of Government. In Canada, and the 15 other members of the Commonwealth Realm, the Queen is our Head of State, and the Prime Minister the Head of Government.

We are respectful of the Queen, as the living symbol of our nation. The Prime Minister is just another politician, and we have no reluctance to criticizing him (or her) for his policies, or any other reason.

I’m proud to say my city of Knoxville TN staged police cars from our local law enforcement agencies on the river bridge and lit the bridge up in blue the other night.
