Yeah, and a lot of people are quite upset over his use of the word "thugs". It's true that the word "thug" had become coded language for the Fox news/conservative crowd to mean Black youth, but Pres. Obama was using it in the classic, correct definition.

I certainly agree with you; I'm sure President Obama would not "support" Fox news codifications. And let's have Ms. Loretta Lynch in our thoughts; she has a very tough "first day" of work.
