In his remarks, the president asserted that the killer was actually being used by God to help raise awareness of a host of issues which just happen to perfectly align with Mr. Obama's political agenda and clear distaste for white people.
..........
Having made the connection, and establishing that he was speaking for God (Who apparently uses both murderers and lying political weasels as His messengers) Obama ticked off the things that the Almighty hoped to accomplish with His bloodbath: the end of public displays of the Confederate flag, more government spending on schools, less poverty (i.e. "income inequality"), changes in police training and equipment, and greater leniency for those black men "caught up" in the criminal justice system.
Also on God's list of demands, evil white employers shouldn't favor a job application from "Johnny" over one from "Jamal," voter ID laws are an abomination which must be cast into the fiery pit and, unsurpisingly, "we express God's grace" by supporting tougher gun control laws.
All in all, Hope n' Change thinks Obama did a masterful job (as usual) of saying one thing while implying the exact opposite; of using words which sounded healing while they ripped open and salted old wounds. Words which had the semantic ring of faith, but the clearer tones of division and crass political opportunism.
Frankly, we don't think that it was God's plan to take advantage of these horrendous murders. We think that's more Mr. Obama's style.
Nor do we think that the president, who has religiously avoided church attendance ever since the good old "God DAMN America" days spent with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, was in any way speaking for the Almighty.
Rather, Obama was mixing his lies with truth - a skill which comes from another source entirely.
