    Where is his 'anti-cop' rhetoric. Give me a quote.

    And stop moving goal posts. You used evidence of how many cops are being targeted and shot to support your claim that officers have been the most targeted under Obama. Empirical data suggests the EXACT OPPOSITE.

    This one isn't great but came damn close. Resonate with me quite a bit.

    Poor lady to his left was snoozing off.

    Yeah, it was too long, especially for the occasion, now that I think about it.

    I just read it -- have not watched it.

    George W Bush looks so much older. He said great job to Obama after the speech. Always a likable guy.

    The Dallas PD for hire advertisement during a press conference was kind of sick. Good cops with no history of misconduct should be paid at least $100k a year to do this type of work. I guess military personnel would love being a cop and getting raise.. I dunno.

    More of a sermon and trying to bring people together. Hardly political.

    Did you even listen to it??? it started off pretty good then he went crazy making it political. It was truly classless. W's speech was much more "Presidential". Heck, I never cared for Bush very much but listening to him was a reminder of when the office had at least a little bit of class.

    Can you provide explicit quotes instead of vague platitudes that made you feel that it was classless?

    "President Obama warns against racial bias, and explains how the American criminal justice system doesn't treat people equally."

    http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/video/president-obama-we-know-bias-remains/vi-BBugvgf

    And this is at memorial service for police.

    Basically calling out racist practices by the police at a funeral of 5 police officers. He might've not have said directly but we know what he meant.

    I did. I guess I can see why you think it's political. It's not easy to bring up some of those points and you probably disagree with some of them. I happen to believe they were good points for people to think about, on both sides, and how we should and can come together instead of apart... which is so tempting and easy to do. Take much more courage for opposing sides, such as from the video swolyd posted to come together than to yell over each others.

    Quotes mother ****er. Heard of them? And let's not confuse 'disagreeing with a premise' with 'classless'.

    Obama could've said "**** the police" and you would some way defend him

    Are you just too lazy to listen to it yourself? Do you really need a play by play?

    This is very true. With Obama no matter what he says or does there will be some that instantly drop to their knees and fellate him for it and there will be others that automatically hate him for it. He's the most divisive president that the US has had in a LONG time and he's so polarized people to where there's not many left in the middle who can look at things rationally.

    Explicit quotes that you found offense... Why is it so hard? I don't understand?

    I want to try to separate your obvious inherent bias with actual facts. I want to know exactly what he said that mad you offended. I want to make sure it isn't just pure preconceived bias where you just made your mind already before he even made the speech.
