Obama met with Ferguson activists after 2014 midterm elections, concerned protests 'stay on course'
The Examiner ^ | 11/17/2014 | Joe Newby

Posted on 11/17/2014 7:26:48 AM PST by SeekAndFind

On Sunday, the New York Times revealed that President Obama met with national leaders of the Ferguson protest movement on November 5 -- the day after Republicans shellacked Democrats in the midterm elections. According to MSNBC activist Al Sharpton, Obama “was concerned about Ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating."

The revelation comes 21 paragraphs into a story about what tactics the protesters might use in the event a grand jury does not indict Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown. One group, for example, said it was offering a reward for Wilson's location and was “restocking on 7.62 & 9mm ammo.”

But a funny thing happened on the way to the official White House daily schedule. The meeting reported by the Times is not listed on the schedule for November 5.

According to the schedule, Obama and Vice President Biden received the Presidential Daily Briefing at 10:30 a.m., followed by a 1 p.m. press briefing with Press Secretary Josh Earnest. Obama himself was scheduled to conduct a press conference at 2:50 p.m., and the Bidens were scheduled to host a reception commemorating Breast Cancer Awareness Month at 6:30 p.m. A meeting with Sharpton or other Ferguson protest leaders is not listed on the schedule.

So far, Hoft observed, Ferguson protesters have looted over 100 businesses in the greater St. Louis area. As a result of the damage to local businesses, county officials are looking for state and federal aid.

What, exactly, does Obama mean about the protests staying on course, Hoft wondered. And, he added, "why is the president meeting with the violent Mike Brown protesters before a verdict is reached in the court case?"

Advocating what? The burning and looting of the innocent buildings for free stuff.
The unwillingness to wait for the legal process to work out the facts of the case VS a lynch mob?

Why does Obama fan the flames of riot?

Why doesn't Obama just start a new Commission....

Call it the "I Hate Whitey Commission". Make Al the Czar.

RE: Why does Obama fan the flames of riot?

Alinsky tactic.

In a crisis, when one has to choose between freedom and order, people often choose order.

Of course “order” also means more government control.

QED, Obama has to fan the flames in order to increase government control [AKA HIS CONTROL]

Because he is first and last a community activist,
it’s what they do.

“This does not get enough Mainstream media attention.”

And won’t. The objective for Obama, Sharpton and their ilk now that Repubs. are in control will be to create as much chaos as possible.

Racial violence is the course he is advocating. Militant racists led by Al Sharpton will burn Ferguson to the ground at the oder of the President

Seems the more he shows off his control the bolder all others are going to get regarding the impeachment of the first half black failed President.

If anyone dies because of Obama pushing this crap, then he should be removed from office.

This story. Is the story of the century. An American President speaking with groups who are planning to bypass our laws to murder a civil servant if they don’t get their way, and supporting them. The WH seems to have conspired with a global NEWS outlet to lie to the world....and the American population.

This is it, FRiends. No time like now. This story, if undeniably true is our reason. It’s our turn to stay the course the Founders laid out almost 250 years ago for their ideal country, which is ours and it is in its death throes. We are the cure. Right now, here. Political and legal means. But I doubt this story will get any mainstream attention. I believe that the sons of bitches in the media will deny us our right to OUR NATION OF LAWS (NOT THEIRS), while one of their own support the murder of any innocent American who stands in their way. There is no time like the present, the longer we wait, the stronger these treasonous bastards get. No leader will rally us to this cause, because the media will drag them through the mud for decades if they have to. It’s up to you, me and any American who desires Freedom and Justice for all.

They are DEMOCRAT militants. They are going to burn their own neighborhood. We are not looking at the leading edge of Smart.

I personally would question why they should be dissuaded from this suicide.

At this point, I’m pretty much at my “Hillary Clinton” moment - What does it matter? It’s not like anything is going to be done about it, leaving us to pi$$ and moan and ultimately, bending over and taking it up the tailpipe. And we’ll continue to do so, because to do otherwise would require entirely too much sacrifice. Fact is, this administration has done this since day one, and will do so to the last day, and all we can/will do is nothing.
