A Question about Pres. Obama and Michael Brown/Eric Garner [View all]

Last edited Thu Dec 18, 2014, 09:17 AM - Edit history (2)

Earlier tonight on YouTube, I watched one of TheAdviseShow's videos related to the Ferguson and NYC police incidents. The host of the show said that he thinks Pres. O has been "too quiet" so far about them. I have also heard some posters on various black websites such as "TheColi" (WARNING: lots of strong language on that site) saying, in other words, that they want him to be more vocal about those (and other black issues).
My question is this: what could he really say or do that would help our situation? So far, Pres. O's agenda has been hamstrung most of his term by Congress, and he has had RW media constantly harass him for even touching on social matters (while their listeners eat it up).
