An Interesting Change In Tone.

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who noticed but there was what I thought was an interesting change in Obama's rhetorical approach in the wake of Sunday's assassinations in Baton Rouge.

Previously, every time there has been some horrible act of violence, be it perpetrated by Islamists extremists or by some black extremists, Obama's statements have always contained some passing phrase of sympathy for families of the victims, followed immediately by open caveats about alleged systemic police racism and an attack on the 2nd Amendment.

Today we heard none of that. What we got was a call for national unity and a statement about these attacks on police officers being an attack on us all and on the very structure of society.

So then, is our feckless fool of a President finally starting to realize at last that he has overplayed the Alinsky card and the blowback is getting beyond either his or a compliant media's control? Well no shit Sherlock. While Obama and even a large majority of the public can turn a blind eye on the senselessness of urban drug gangs slaughtering each other, when you stir the pot of racial animosity so deeply that the extremist elements start gunning down police officers then people are going to start looking for someone to blame.

Obama and Hillary through their crass pandering to the Black Lives Matter extremists may have, in the short term, put a target on the back of the police. In the longer term however they have put it on their own. Most people with common sense, be they black, white or brown know that when the shit hits the fan, those very same police are their first line of defense, if not their only one.

Even the most dedicated political adherents begin to have second thoughts when their personal safety becomes a factor. I can only guess that internal polling has taken an ugly turn and for Hillary, Obama and his so called legacy. Get the message you Democrats, Obama's legacy is on full display in Nice and Orlando and Dallas and Baton Rouge.

You've opened the Pandora's Box of violence and hatred. Try as you might to close the lid, it's too damn late.
