The Race Hustler and the White House (but I repeat myself).

Revved Up. How Al Sharpton became Obama’s go-to man on race.
A few days after 18-year-old Mike Brown was gunned down in Ferguson, Missouri, White House officials enlisted an unusual source for on-the-ground intelligence amid the chaos and tear gas: the Rev. Al Sharpton, a fiery activist who became a household name by provoking rather than pacifying. . .
“There’s a trust factor with The Rev from the Oval Office on down,” a White House official familiar with their dealings told me. “He gets it, and he’s got credibility in the community that nobody else has got. There’s really no one else out there who does what he does. . .”
Obama was “horrified” by the images he was seeing on TV, Jarrett told Sharpton, and proceeded to pepper him with questions as she collected information for the president: How bad was the violence? Was it being fueled by outside groups—and could Sharpton do anything to talk them down? What did the Brown family want the White House to do?

What did the criminal brown family want the criminal obama family to do for they criminal enterprise they were all talking about. Kind of sounds like a conspiracy.

I've told the NRA and the NRC they will not get one thin dime from me until some of the ruling party is in jail.

The calls have abated.

Fuck soetoro-obama and the traitors who allowed this illegal on the ballot. May those who acknowledge him as a legitimate POTUS feel the burn of hemp around their necks.
