President Obama, on the execution-style shooting deaths of two NYC police officers

There’s no reason for folks to be patient. I’m impatient. That’s why in the wake of what happened in Ferguson and what happened in New York, we’ve initiated task forces that in 90 days, are going to be providing very specific recommendations,” he told Candy Crowley during an interview that aired Friday on CNN’s State of the Union. “On the other hand, I think an unwillingness to acknowledge that progress has been made cuts off the possibility of further progress. If – if critics want to suggest that America is inherently and irreducibly racist, then why bother even working on it? I’ve seen change in my own life. So has this country. And those who would deny that, I think, actually foreclose the possibility of further progress rather than advancing it.

Andrew McCarthy responds in National Review Online’s Corner blog:

…Obama, like Sharpton [Ed. note: and I might add, Eric Holder], divides us out of the most shameful of political calculations. It has further signaled to a violent fringe Obama well knows is out there that savage acts against police and others are likely to be rationalized and tolerated – and, indeed, that violent acts short of murder will be ignored or sugar-coated as “peaceful protest.”

And now, two police officers have been murdered because they were sitting in their squad car wearing their uniforms – by a violent criminal who was clearly animated by the racially-charged, rabidly anti-police atmosphere Obama, Sharpton & Co. have promoted.

Before the murders happened, police were being assaulted on the streets of New York City, where the rabble felt free to chant, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!” When the murders happened, some among the rabble engaged in the same kind of celebration that Islamists do when terrorists kill Americans or Israelis. And after the murders happened, others brayed that the killing of police would continue.

What it there to have “dialogue” about? What is the other side of this story that the president would have the widows and children of these two murdered officers hear? Or that he would have the police, who are now targets of the mob, understand?

When liberals use coded language like “patient dialogue” what they’re really saying is: a) they have no rational response to the issue at hand, and b) they’re only interested if your idea of dialogue represents their viewpoint. Barack Obama can say what he wants, but the fact is he’s a large part of the problem that has resulted in this country being torn apart by race. As Michelle Malkin notes, he still hasn’t had any comment – let alone condemnation – on the hatchet attacks on two NYC policemen back in October by an Islamic fascist.

Spare us the self-righteous sermonizing, Mr. President, and go back to do doing what you do best.
