My daughter asked me last weekend, “Don’t you think {President} Obama should go to Ferguson?”
I immediately said, “No. I don’t think he should.” And I talked briefly about the issue of local and state control. Although there was increasing tension and violence (on both sides), I didn’t believe it was the President’s role to go to the scene of the turmoil in that city.
But I also felt that Pres. Obama could not go, even if he wanted to.
For a variety of reasons, he has become a polarizing figure in our country. (See Why Obama Won’t Give the Ferguson Speech His Supporters Want).
