Obama: Racial tensions not increasing.
Posted: Dec 26, 2014
As control of Congress shifts to the GOP next year, President Barack Obama said that also means a change in the Washington blame game.
“Now you’ve got Republicans in a position where it’s not enough for them simply to grind the wheels of Congress to a halt and then blame me,” Obama said in an interview with NPR after being asked about working with the next Congress.
Obama sat down with NPR’s Steve Inskeep for an interview last Thursday, the entirety of which will be broadcast on Monday. In excerpts released Friday, the president also dismissed claims that racial tensions are increasing as protests following the events in Ferguson, Missouri, as well as the deaths of Eric Garner and two New York Police Department officers have overtaken recent headlines.
“No, I actually think that it’s probably in its day-to-day interactions less racially divided,” Obama said when asked if divisions have increased since he took office six years ago.

What? Again, I disagree with this president who is so out of touch with reality. I really hope Santa brought him a new pair of rose-colored glasses for Christmas.

[ In Reply To ..]Most people know the reality of the situation. I believe that 62% of Americans believe that race relations are worse. Remember, how can the president be believed or respected when he has Al Sharpton as his advisor? That, to me, says it all.
Who says Al Sharpton is President Obama's - adviser?

The president himself. - SM
[ In Reply To ..]He has been named the president's advisor on race relations.
says Rudy? He's just jealous...He would - be the laughable adviser

Sour grapes not necessary. - SM
[ In Reply To ..]It's your president who made the decision to choose tax evader and race baiter extraordinaire Al Sharpton to be his advisor. đ
No, he is not "my" president, he is the - President of the United States
[ In Reply To ..]If you live in and are a citizen of the United States he is your president also.
I believe, at most, he might have asked Al Sharpton to be involved in the Ferguson incident, which, of course, the Republicans have grabbed hold of and run to the extreme of being an adviser on anything to do with race relations back to the beginning of time--is that 6000 years ago or do they believe in reality-based science?
He's not my president either. - Nope.
[ In Reply To ..]No way.
Nor mine. - Abby

BO does lie, but not about this. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]He chose Al Sharpton to be his advisor on race relations. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the motive behind this.
I understand. - SM
[ In Reply To ..]Sometimes the truth is too painful to bear.
Well, i would say that after meeting with the PResident - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]81 times since Ferguson, that he is more than just a friendly visitor to the WH, wouldn't you? Guess you didn't see the photos of him sitting on the left side of the President in meetings with other Black Leaders?
From Politico: The Revâs doing what he does, using him as both a source of information and a go-between. After huddling with Brownâs family and local community leaders, Sharpton connected directly with White House adviser and First Friend Valerie Jarrett, vacationing in her condo in the exclusive Oak Bluffs section of Marthaâs Vineyard, not far from where President Obama and his family were staying. Obama was âhorrifiedâ by the images he was seeing on TV, Jarrett told Sharpton, and proceeded to pepper him with questions as she collected information for the president:

From the NY Post:
The 59-year-old Sharpton has become a key adviser to President Obama on race issues, according to Politico, and is acting as his liaison in the racially charged St. Louis suburb, where the police shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown led to days of riots.
Try the Wall Street Journal (caption under photo which I can't seem to post here):
The Rev. Al Sharpton was known for his activist, racially polarizing views. Recently, he has become a key ally for President Obama, pictured in an Oval Office meeting last year. Official White House Photo by Pete Souza
Mr. Sharpton is an unlikely White House partner, given his racially polarizing history and efforts by Mr. Obama's 2008 campaign team to steer clear of the civil-rights leader.
There are more. You just have to Google them.
I would love to know what he's smoking 'cuz - Truthhurts
