President Obama on Friday praised the lowering of the Confederate flag in South Carolina as “a meaningful step towards a better future.”
“South Carolina taking down the confederate flag - a signal of good will and healing, and a meaningful step towards a better future,” the president wrote on his @POTUS Twitter feed.
The removal of the Confederate battle flag from Statehouse grounds in South Carolina was the culmination of a debate over the controversial symbol triggered by a mass shooting at a historic black church in Charleston last month.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) signed a bill Thursday authorizing the permanent removal of the flag from state grounds.
During a eulogy for one of the shooting victims, Obama challenged those who defended the flag as a symbol of their Southern heritage.

If Obama’s praising her, then you know she’s on the wrong side.
Obummer is an azzhole and a mulatto to boot.
When does the Black memorial come down as well? This would be the one that was put in as a compromise to allow the battle flag to fly.
Peace in our time!
I’m surprised he did not praise the illegal who murdered that beautiful woman in SF.
King O gives faith to the return of the Stars and Bars.
Well see there? That's how you know it was absolutely the wrong thing to do. The affirmative action idiot is always wrong about everything.
“good will” to whom?
Frankly, this half black Muslim was supposed to be “the new better future.” The “post-racial President” S
So far, he’s handed over his administration to Iranians, racist blacks, lesbians, Wise Latinas, homosexuals (who they wouldn’t even rescue) and a whole cabal of subversive America-haters.
If anything, he’s set back racial relations in this country decades.
I’m not surprised.
Barry hates women. The proof is in Moochell.
That azzhole is the reason I bought 5 new Charleston battle flags when this crap all started.
Kathryn Steinle.
I wish I knew how to post picture, Ultimateflags.com has a battle flag that has Obama’s picture on it.
Loved Megyn Kelly’s condemnation of this on her program last night.
1. Brown, who assaulted a cop after robbing a store.
2. Gray, a repeat felon and drug pusher
3. Martin, felon in training to be sure and the assailant in the Zimmerman fiasco
Steinle, beloved by her family and friends, murdered in cold blood by a convict who shouldn’t have been in this country save for the criminal morons “running” San Francisco.
Yeah, it must be about the color/race.
Did he praise Nikki Haley and the Republicans who made it happen?
Yeah, RIIIIIGHT!
Censorship in reaction to tragedy is not a sign of a good future. It represents a mob mentality motivated by emotional triggers rather than rational thought. It begins.
FUBO!
Obama is a disgusting president and a very evil person.
Today I was inspired to fight racialism, since the KKK march with the US flag in DC and march in different cities with the US Flag, I retired my US Flag.
