[BBC] US President Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
has warned White House contenders to avoid raising tensions, a day after a rally by Donald Trump was called off amid festivities.
Mr Obama said candidates should not resort to "insults" and "certainly not violence against other Americans".
Mr Trump, who leads the race for the Republican nomination, cancelled his reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... rally after fighting broke out between his supporters and protesters.
His rivals and others have accused him of using inflammatory rhetoric.
Mr Obama, who will be standing down after November's presidential election, was speaking at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Dallas on Saturday.
He said: "What the folks who are running for office should be focused on is how we can make it even better - not insults and schoolyard taunts and manufacturing facts, not divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... ness along the lines of race and faith."

The jackbooted thugs on the left (Moveon.org, etc.) are beginning to mobilize. The usual ploy of these thugs is to instigate the violence and then blame it on the opposition--right out of the community organizer playbook of Alinsky (and Obean and Hillary).

This media hack job and Occupy trash is to be expected. Even our own will side with the attackers. The only person in my opinion who could weather all this can only be Trump. It has only just begun. The demonstrators have shown how low they will go as reported after. They are trying to provoke people as much as possible. This is our world now.

This thin skinned narcissist son of a bitch started the whole thing. Disrespect, belittling people, treating political opponents like mortal enemies. And the GOPe sat there instead of fighting back. And he (and by association, McConnell Rove and others) now has the nerve to lecture Trump people for doing what he has been doing for 8 years in one form or another? What about the Red Flag socialist from Bernie and BLM who just instituted a heckler's veto on a Trump campaign event? Where is the criticism of that?
You do that kind of thing long enough, you are going to get a reaction. And that's how the Brown Shirts came to power in the 20's and 30's - doing nationalistic demagoguery and inciting violence against the already violent Red brigades. Trump is using that time-proven formula to rise to power. Obama may get more time in office if he declares a national emergency in response. If that happens, its all over, been nice knowing you USA.

There is plenty of blame to go around, and Obama, Shillary, and Bernie have just as large or larger a portion of it as do Trump's coddling of KKK, Storm Front and physically abusive people like his campaign manager. The press biased coverage has covered for the left doing the same thing for Sander's and BLM's Communists. Its like the SA and the KPD are reappearing form the early 1930's to repeat the mistakes of history all over again.
They all suck. Eventually someone will go too far, and we will either have a massive crackdown for "safety" where one side or the other loses freedom of assemble and speech, in which case all of us eventually lose it. And the rebellion starts in earnest.
And that is a civil war waiting to happen. Not N vs S, but communities against themselves. These stupid activists will get a very harsh dose of reality if it comes to that. And if they are the ones seen as most at fault, they will decorate lamp posts. Look to the fate of Mussolini, or Ceaușescu.
Is this truly what you people on both sides want? Its what you will get if things push to the breaking point.
[Hurriyet Daily News] U.S. President Barack Obama I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go... does not regret stepping back from his "red line" on the use of chemical weapons by Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Terror of Aleppo ... ’s regime in Syria, saying he was "proud" of the decision.
In an interview published by the Atlantic magazine on March 10, Obama described his decision to step back from planned military strikes, which would have changed the course of Syria’s brutal five-year-old civil war.
"I’m very proud of this moment," Obama said.
"The overwhelming weight of conventional wisdom and the machinery of our national-security apparatus had gone fairly far," Obama was quoted as saying.
"The perception was that my credibility was at stake, that America’s credibility was at stake. And so for me to press the pause button at that moment, I knew, would cost me politically."
Critics argue that Obama’s decision did damage to American credibility that will not be healed quickly or easily.
"The fact that I was able to pull back from the immediate pressures and think through in my own mind what was in America’s interest, not only with respect to Syria but also with respect to our democracy, was as tough a decision as I’ve made - and I believe that ultimately it was the right decision to make."
Meanwhile, ...back at the saloon, Butch got the bill for the damage caused by the fist fight, the mirror broken in the shootout, and drinks for everyone...... the article also claimed that Obama’s ideas regarding Assad had changed after the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) beheaded three American civilians in Syria.
"But by late spring of 2014, after ISIS [ISIL] took the northern-Iraq city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , he came to believe that U.S. intelligence had failed to appreciate the severity of the threat and the inadequacies of the Iraqi army, and his view shifted. After ISIS beheaded three American civilians in Syria, it became obvious to Obama that defeating the group was of more immediate urgency to the U.S. than overthrowing Bashir al-Assad," read the article.

A truly great mind and thinker would of devised a plan to eliminate all threats in the region. And a great journalist would of pointed out that since Obama's proud decision both ISIS and Assad have grown stronger.
