Should Obama visit Ferguson?

[matteos]

I'm not aware he has yet. A half black, half white president. Very logical, doesn't rely on his emotions. A situation that seems to escalate and seems to be the focus of the nation with similar incidents repeating itself Throughout the country for months . I think he's should go there. There's no one better, in many ways he's the perfect candidate to heal this race fragmentation were currently experiencing. . I'm probably a 70 percent fan of his, which is probably quite high. . He's coming to la this weekend for Jimmy kimmel and a fundraiser. Honestly his time is better spent in Ferguson. That would show real leadership. .. and he won't clog up our freeways... and Jimmy kimmel is so unimportant as well as his fundraiser.

Obama should not visit Ferguson while in office. There are many more effective things he can do as President than to waste time on a photo op. Besides, the situation has mutated beyond the point where he would be safe.

Nope, I don't think him going there could be anything but a symbolic photo-op. He has plenty other things do deal with and the Republicans and the Fox sheeple are going to bitch whether he does go or not anyway.
I take it you don't think our President needs or deserves any time off?

It would all depend on what he did when he got there. This President is so risk-adverse (and not without reason) that he wouldn't go there to make a bold, chancy move. So there's no reason for him to go.

Here's some rightwing stupidity for lunch, Duhmerica's mayor Rudy Ghouliani opined that he wished the President would be more like Bill 'Rufie' Cosby after those two cops were shot in Ferguson.

There's not a single positive for the President to appear in Ferguson.

No bigger piece of s*** than Rudy.

Say, Bush was on an extended vacation when Katerina hit. IIRC he cut short to return to Washington which was unnecessary and unneeded, but he did fly right over N.O., even had the plane fly low but did not land or visit for quite some time. Right thing to do or wrong?

We in the Midwest are used to flyover status.
