THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT

Thank you President Obama.  
In Dallas yesterday, you showed your nation a real depth of understanding.  In Dallas I saw the leader of our country, a leader who could take our people forward with hope for a change.  You spoke as a President of all, and as one who understands the pain and the anguish of a grieving nation.  You showed a respect for the law enforcement contingency that has been under attack and actually spoke to the reprehension of false motive involved in that attack.  It actually made me weep when I was able to see our President speaking to the nation as its President.  A President who recognized the greatness of our nation, the importance of law and order and of the unity our nation will need in order to survive. 
I saw and heard a President who we’ve been yearning for during the last eight years.  I saw a President capable of drawing us together as a nation, capable of achieving and helping others to achieve.  I saw a President who was grieving not only for the fallen heroes of those who serve and protect, but also for the animus that infects our people.  I saw a President of the United States of America.  I saw and heard him speak words that could heal.  I couldn’t help but think of how much national pain could have been avoided had that President been the Chief Executive, the Commander and Chief of our country for the last decade.
In the middle of all the good being created by your oration, Mr. President, you ripped the microphone away and resumed control of the subject matter.  Old habits die hard.  Directed away from our President’s unifying, healing messages, the Community Organizer resumed his not so subtle take on gun control and the lack of understanding, by whites regarding the African American plight.  Mr. President spoke about the great strides our country has taken in the advancement of interracial interaction.  Mr. Obama reverted to his normal focus on the things that divide the hues of our country into those that mistreat and those that are mistreated. 

Mr. Obama, release our President from the bondage of your learned habits.  The President, who was with us briefly, showed us his ability to see solutions, the ability to unite.  The Community Organizer silenced all that good with blame.  Shame on you, Mr. President.
