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

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?"

One reason is that he and his minions had thought (hoped) that all of the "protesting" would stir up black folk around the country to "win one for Michael (Obama)," ala "win one for the Gipper."

When that obviously didn't happen, Obama now needs to refocus on keeping the 'hood stirred up for more and more protests until they "send a message to DC, to those TEA Party 'crackers' that we don't want what they're trying to force down on us."

Just a thought but with the extremely cold temps along with below zero winds, only the hardiest souls intent on stirring up "hate on whitey" will be out protesting for Obozo and Eric the Red.

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

Or, reversing that, Al Sharpton HAS TO HAVE rioting and destruction in order for Holder/Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson/Oprah Winfrey/BET/CNN/ABCNNBCBS/Valerie Jarrett/etc/etc/etc. to maintain THEIR BASE even mildly interested in maintaining Al Sharpton as a power broker, and those racial agitators behind the democrat party are telling Obola to “permit” the continued rioting and racial tactics.

In otherwords, Obola-Holder-Nixon is being told what to do. What to "permit" and what to encourage. Again.

No racial stress? No Al Sharpton TV appearances!

I guess that as the president of the superpower known as the United States of America he doesn’t have any bigger fish to fry. Plenty of free time to focus on an incident in Ferguson, Missouri.

Al Sharpton does needs riots in Ferguson to rally his racist base of unintelligent mindless drones to “follow” (He’ll lead from behind in a safe hotel location) into the firing rifles of Democrat Gov. Nixon’s National Guard to be cut down. And Nixon, Sharpton and Obama will blame this all on the “republican racism” that isn’t anywhere to be found in Ferguson. In fact I would doubt there could be found a Republican living anywhere within the city limits today. They have all fled because of the extreme racism demonstrated by the Sharpton Drones. And the Democrat President will announce on television that racism from the Republicans and the Tea Party fueled these riots (That the Democrat Party funded, incited and controlled) This is going to be the Democrats greatest deception of the decade, or an attempt of it. I hope there are foreign reporters on site to record the democrats inciting the riots.
