I made a gentle and sincere call, for my wife, my children, and I, for some word, any word, from the President on Ferguson; on any of the shootings, but mostly on the police violence we were all horrified watching in Ferguson.
No judgement, except, maybe, that his silence was disappointing.
You heard, 'under the bus.' You're listening to your own politics and completely ignoring what I'm actually saying.
No, I do believe he needs a vacation. I don't think that a public word from him would interrupt that as much as you seem to believe. I think it would do much good for him to try and exert some public leadership on Ferguson while the world is watching.
I don't think that's so much to ask. If I can't ask that here, I really don't know what these pages are good for - outside of shallow politics, which is what you seem more concerned about, than the issues at hand.
