On The Plate Today:  Obama Stokes the Fires

Were President Obama's comments today at his news conference meant to pacify the rage of blacks, or to stoked the flames of resentment even more?

President Obama did not have to go out there to explain black people to America. Black people are individuals, each responsible for his or her own actions, just like everyone else.

President Obama should have asked black citizens to except the rule of law; Instead, he made excuses for resentments and for the violence that may occur this weekend.
