    Took POTUS almost a week to show up and express mild outrage. And still, it was as weak as pre-sweetened Kool-Aid.

        @hdiallo @tavissmiley He has the right to criticize Obama. I liked obama's words today, but he shoulda said these things years ago.

        @hdiallo @tavissmiley I agree that he's busy. But he has the power to do great things; such as, make racial profiling a 1st degree felony.

        @KnowledgeBearer @tavissmiley Presidents don't make laws. That's congress' job. And THEY do not make local laws.
