The unserious president

Obama has apparently invited Al Sharpton to a meeting on race relations in the wake of the Ferguson shooting/looting/riots.

The only way this would make any real sense would be if Sharpton were being held up as Exhibit A of what’s wrong with race relations in America today. But we all know that isn’t the case. The Community-Organizer-in-Chief has found another cause he can use for the purposes of misdirection, and the Rev is the perfect smoke bomb for the occasion.

Yes, Sharpton is an evil clown, a semi-literate buffoon who has incited violence, championed frauds, and cheated everyone from his landlord to the IRS. But he gets attention and respect from the President of the United States Democratic base, and that is genuinely alarming, particularly since we are stuck with this pandering panjandrum for another two years. Too much more of Barry’s “post-racial” awesomeness, and our cities are likely to turn into smoking ruins.
