I'm not willing to do that, Calista.

The President and AG have already gotten off their asses on this. Holder is on the ground as are the FBI. The U.S. Justice Department is thoroughly probing the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a police officer.

There are others in Washington that will indeed need to get off their collective asses, that would be Congress for one.

My faith is with the people on this.
