Obama Fiddles While Ferguson Burns

Obama Fiddles While Ferguson Burns | Somewhat Reasonable: 
"The Russian ex-KGB agent whom Obama promised he’d be “more flexible” with after his election has invaded neighboring Ukraine with impunity and now sends Russian bombers to patrol the Gulf of Mexico, which had been a sole sphere of this country’s influence since the time that James Monroe was President.


The Islamic State that the Obama administration derided as the “junior varsity” (and helped prompt Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel’s recent resignation in part for having disagreed) is on the march in Syria and Iraq with captured American weapons and stolen bank money, beheading Americans on YouTube while the president goes off to play golf.

And in Ferguson, Missouri, a suburb of one of the country’s oldest and most beautiful cities west of the Alleghenies, the city burns over racial tensions that the president had implicitly promised to heal but has done nothing other than to exacerbate."
