Head of Fraternal Order of Police rips Obama for his remarks on Ferguson

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

..."I'm sure the president thought he was being even handed by blaming both protestors and cops for the violence. But you can't have law without order, and preventing people from looting and setting cars on fire usually necessitates strong arm tactics. And inevitably, non-violent people are going to be unfairly arrested simply because they're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"This is what happens in a riot. It is chaos. The president and many on the left criticizing the police seem to think that the cops can restore the peace in an orderly and logical manner, without resorting to physical violence. It is regrettable that things get out of control but that's what a riot is all about."

It would be nice if people would stay silent about Ferguson
 ...  "Let me say a couple of things about President Obama's statement:

       2) It was unnecessary and out of place for a president.  That's bad.

"It is so bad that I’m beginning to think this was a staged protest, similar to the kinds the big brains in our country organize. You know who I mean, the kollidge students."
 

 
Well, the video may not be so great, but the still shots will do fine. They will work well enough to set Geraldo's spleen into overdrive.

Krauthammer: On Obama’s foreign policy, Clinton got it right

“Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle.”
— Hillary Clinton, The Atlantic, Aug. 10

Charles Krauthammer

 
"Leave it to Barack Obama’s own former secretary of state to acknowledge the fatal flaw of his foreign policy: a total absence of strategic thinking.
 
"Yes, of course everything Hillary Clinton says is positioning. The last time she sought the nomination (2008), as she admitted before Defense Secretary Bob Gates, she opposed the Iraq surge for political reasons because she was facing antiwar Sen. Barack Obama in Iowa. Now, as she prepares for her next run (2016), she’s positioning herself to the right because, with no prospect of being denied the Democratic nomination, she has the luxury of running toward the center two years before Election Day.
"All true, but sincere or not — with the Clintons how can you ever tell? — it doesn’t matter. She’s right."...
