President, press not answering questions

The president is worried about states’ rights allowing stand-your-ground laws, but he might serve the country better if he would focus on the illegal guns used every day in America’s cities to kill black youths instead of taking a tragedy and manipulating it into a political tool to achieve his agenda. He has refused to address the public on Benghazi, the continuing IRS scandals, gunrunning scandals, Justice Department pimping civil rights protests, etc., but comes out and tries to make Martin sound like your local Boy Scout.

This administration is despicable, and the press organizations that refuse to cover and address anything to do with its activities have proved themselves no better than the Russian or Venezuelan propaganda machines.
