Obama's Got No Class

Obama's Got No Class: For all of my long years, I do not recall a President and First Lady with as little class than that of the Obamas.

Obama interjects himself into the minutiae of everyday happenings. Most Presidents keep themselves above the fray. He seems to not realize (or care about) the influence his offhand remarks have and that they go around the world.

Take the killing of Trayvon Martin. The Sanford, Florida prosecutor decided not to arrest Zimmerman due to self defense under Florida law, and it never even went to the grand jury there. Then sometime later, Obama wades in and says “If I had a son he would have looked like Trayvon.” This remark triggered a racist suggestion and fed fuel to the fire of the likes of the Rev. Al Sharpton, who, never even needing an excuse, started rallying the troops to denounce this as a racist crime. Cries of racism have not been as rampant as they were before the 60s. Our president sets the tone of the country and those he is around.
