A new CBS News/New York Times poll shows that Americans give President Obama mixed reviews for his handling of the situation in Ferguson, Mo. While the reviews are more positive than negative (41 percent to 34 percent), fully one-quarter of Americans have no opinion.
Given that Obama's approval ratings are generally underwater (more negative than positive) when it comes to most issues these days, that might seem a small victory for the White House.
But one emerging area to watch: how African Americans view his handling of the situation.

Oturd has to walk a fine line here - he wants to gin up paranoia and hatred in the black base for the midterms, but he can’t go too far, or there might be a white backlash.
yet another illustration of the real problem— black culture foments violent criminal behavior and sympathy for violent criminals and hatred for white police.
I guess they were wanting him to say that Big Mike could have been his son.
