Confronting another killing of police officers, President Barack Obama on Sunday urged Americans to tamp down inflammatory words and actions as a violent summer collides with the nation’s heated presidential campaign.

“We as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies attacks on law enforcement,” Obama said in remarks from the White House briefing room. […]

“We don’t need inflammatory rhetoric. We don’t need careless accusations thrown around to score political points or to advance an agenda. We need to temper our words and open our hearts … all of us,” Obama said. …

It’s almost comical to hear him say that since he’s been spewing nothing but inflammatory rhetoric for the last 7 years.

He calls for unity, but I have no desire to be united with that dirtbag, Hillary or most democrats for that matter.

It’s clearly not enough. For starters, he needs to condemn “Black Lives Matter”, and only tolerate “All Lives Matter”.

Presidential rose colored glasses are nothing new, at least. How about The Religion Of Peace?

Not rhetorical in certain cases, something tells me.

Black Lives Matter are allies with the same kind of people that drove the truck in Nice, France, let us not forget.
