(84,711 posts)I can't find it on WH.Gov or the View of it on You Tube...and finally found the Video on C-span to show my partner...and the damned thing keeps Buffering and isn't watchable on my DSL.
Anyway...I watched it all...and that was an Incredible Watch...the Whole Thing...and folks need to watch it or read the transcript. It was cleverly crafted speech...but, I found it chilling and picked out what you posted here that disturbed me about what is going on in Missouri.
Thanks for the post.... I think his background is just so different that he can't understand what's going on in Missouri and all over the USA. He's acting like a Lawyer and a President of All the People..(which should be a good thing) but, not in this case with MORE IRAQ and what's going on with more Military Police and Rogue Cop killing in Missouri...where he seems so out of touch with the Prison System, the Lack of jobs not only for Black Americans (worse hit) but ALL of our KIDS and just sticks to his Lawyerly parsing of the issues...but still sounds like he's blaming Black Males for not being "obedient enough." And, that for Two Centuries we've been "dealing with this" and if you "Do the Crime...You Pay...and he drifted off before saying "YOU PAY THE TIME" which sounded like some RW stuff blaming poor for their troubles and NOT our American System beholden to the Bankers of Wall Street and their RAPE of our ECONOMY and the Rest with Koch Brothers, etc.
Sorry for the Rant.. I may just delete it.....but it really freaked me out...
