Obama: America is not as divided as some suggest
AP ^ | July 9, 2016

WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- President Barack Obama on Saturday rejected the notion that this week's stunning violence is a signal that the U.S. has returned to some of the darkest days of its past, saying that as painful as the killings of police and black men were, "America is not as divided as some have suggested."

"Americans of all races and all backgrounds are rightly outraged by the inexcusable attacks on police, whether it's in Dallas or anyplace else," Obama said from Warsaw, Poland, where he attended a NATO summit.

"That includes protesters. It includes family members who have grave concerns about police conduct and they've said that this is unacceptable," Obama added. "There's no division there."

>>”I am going to keep on talking about the fact that we cannot eliminate all racial tension in our country overnight,” he said. “We are not going to be able to identify, ahead of time, and eliminate every madman or troubled individual who might want to do harm against innocent people. But we can make it harder for them to do so.”

In other words, he’s not going to try to stop his people (the blacks and muslims) from killing Americans, but he is devoted to stopping us from being able to defend ourselves from them.

He's GOTT'A say something like that because in a few months, he'll be on the run from all us fractured Americans who can't seem to coalesce and get anything done.

I'm pretty sure he's convinced even voter fraud is not going to win over true American votes.

Obama's Charleston eulogy: 'Amazing Grace

But on Friday, Obama's speech moved beyond just grief for the victims -- the President stepped directly into a national conversation about race in which he plays a central role.

He declared the Confederate flag a symbol of racial oppression, and praised the renewed urgency in removing it from the South Carolina State Capitol.

"Removing the flag from this state's capital would not be an act of political correctness," he said. "It would not an insult to the valor of Confederate soldiers. It would simply be acknowledgment that the cause for which they fought, the cause of slavery, was wrong."

Where are the president's calls to remove the flag of the New Black Panther Party, BLM and other affiliated groups??

Boy, you’re not kidding.

Worse, the people responsible for putting us in this situation won’t get hurt. Heck, some of them will even enjoy the show.

No big surprise, if not an outright (m)uslim at least a sympathizer, never cared about the US and above all lives in an alternate universe. So, I wouldn’t expect much, amazing that he got where he is. Just hope Hilarious Hillary does not succeed him otherwise she finishes off what is left of this country.
