Obama should address the nation tonight...

He should ask for network and cable news time and talk to the nation as only he could. He should fill the leadership vacuum that our nation is experiencing now.

But this is not a normal time.

Trump has essentially abdicated. He is the un-president.

All the rules have changed.

Biden would be completely justified in speaking to the country.

John Lewis too. But mostly some of the more peaceful protesters. I think obama does a lot behind the scenes. What would be best if is more leaders and leadership develop out of this.

Why do people believe it's his responsibility to fix Americas racial issues?

Many still blame him for not doing enough when he was in power.
