Obama is copping out of an argument and trying to please everyone with a recent address concerning the scores of people joining the Kaepernick-fueled protest against racial injustice.

During the CNN Townhall a Veteran asked President Obama about his feelings when he sees althletes and people kneeling during the national anthem.

Obama had a chance here, I think, to address the issue the protesters are standing up for!

But instead, he gave a moderate cop out answer, saying:

“I want them to listen to the pain that [kneeling] may cause somebody who, for example, had a spouse or child who was killed in combat,” Obama said. “But I also want people to think about the pain that [Kaepernick] may be expressing about somebody who’s lost a loved one that they think was unfairly shot.”

Of course, he does have a point, in some ways. BUT the protests are not out of disrespect for vets or family members of vets. The anthem and what is stands for is very arguably racist, so anyone who disagrees with that SHOULD NOT feel obliged to have to stand for it, hand on heart.

And if people take personal offence, maybe they should look at exactly why a country is in a position for people to feel the need to protest this?

What do you think? Did Obama say a good thing or was it just his usual BS?
