I have a lot of communication with Europeans, and Barry was probably right to mention this episode. People outside the U.S. who have never spent a lot of time here perceive it as a boiling cauldron of racism and lawlessness, and the international coverage of Ferguson reinforced this view. Thus the President could not completely ignore it under the circumstances.
Obama controls the media, so if they have that belief I figure it's his fault.

Deputy
National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.

pocket!
