regarding race relations is unbelievable.

His Trayvon Martin comments were taken out of context by so many, purposefully, I believe. The beer gate summit, Michael Brown and now Eric Garner. The expectations are for him to solve all immediately, or bait him into playing the so-called race-card.

I'm still shocked at how he can stay so cool. It must be extremely frustrating for him.
