The President and Ferguson

     I found something I agreed with President Obama on. (It doesn't happen very often.)
     Even though he has drawn criticism from some black Americans for his lack of dialogue on the Ferguson issue, I applaud his strategy.
     I for one give him high marks on putting the justice department in play to investigate what happened in Ferguson.
     I was troubled when in 2012, President Obama made this comment: "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," in reference to the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida.
     We have a good system, the best in the world. It's not perfect and needs adjustment. It looks like this President learned from his mistake: Don't get personally involved. In 2012 it appeared the President was taking sides. For the time being there has been no Presidential rush to judgment.
He is allowing the system to work.
Thank you Mr. President.
