I do not think President Obama was "out of the way" in his remarks, given the cultural moment. I realize you do not agree with his policies, or his views on race relations. Where I diagree with you is your belief that he was wrong to give a broader speech than simply a eulogy.

That's fair. It is also fair to point out that Mr Obama's speech was even broader than you may recognize. He went farther than eulogy, farther than policy, by passing in fact the rightful purview of God, he went so far as to make himself discerner of the intent of each man's heart as well as his judge as far I could tell.

In times like these the President of the United States should focus our attention on the fact that we are one people and as such, we should all be protectors of the common good. Bobby Kennedy took that tack, one would think a President in his 8th year would have at least that much down pat. But no, we got reminded that BLM is a some sort of righteous manifestation of which "the people" are so richly deserving. His power is to be used as protector of our Constitution and to faithfully execute himself to that end. Not transform same.
