He's in a position of leadership .
When your the CEO of a company your employees are looking to you for leadership
Everyone (including me) believed that Obama would be the president to finally completely ease race tensions in this country.
Instead, Obama has only increased race tensions. He takes sides, when there should not be sides. He has encouraged racism by his silence in other issues. And I don't mean white racism against blacks. I mean black racism against whites.
Either he has some agenda, or he is trying so hard to support blacks, that he does it at the expense of peace or understanding.

To address your OP and the president, he made it clear when he came out in defense of Trayvon Martin, A black kid, up too no good. If he had a son he would look like that? On facebook with gold teeth and smoking weed.
He called the cops idiots for arresting the black guy that went crazy on them at the university town that lead to the beer summit. I dont recall him speaking out on black on white crime ever.
Paula dean loses a job for using the N word 20 years ago yet he remains silent on blacks using it today? thats racist. And that is why racism will live forever. The blacks will riot in favor of a criminal but whites wont riot in protest of black criminal behavior.
And for the most part, blacks are scary looking. I think a lot of them know this and play that out. May be a horrible thing to say but damn its true. Would you feel OK putting your teenage daughter on an elevator with 5 black guys dressed like thugs?
There was threads a week ago about the Muslim kicked off a plane for speaking Arabic, most responses demmened the airline but would you be ok with putting your family on an airplane with a Muslim chanting "allah Akbar" that means god is great doesnt it?
Your last two paragraphs show that the issue here isn't with your president, it's with people who think such comments should really resonate in a mature society.
So in my mind if there is anyone who could stand up and ease growing race relations in the US its the President.
I disagree with one of the basic premise of this thread. I don't think Race Relations are worse than ever. I actually think they're better than they've ever been. Things are coming out into the open, we're talking about it, minorities have better opportunities than ever.
The Race Relations Crisis is a media creation. You must ask yourself who's pulling those strings. Here's a hint...It ain't Obama.
