The published record will show that many in Chicago have mixed feedback on the President's [Barack Obama] role as organizer.
Julianne MalveauxTavis Smiley lost lots of corporate support after he was critical of President [Barack] Obama.
Julianne MalveauxIt was quite a process to narrow more than 400 columns down to 80. I write weekly, though, and I don't always write about President [Barack] Obama, so that was the easy elimination.
Julianne MalveauxThe President [Barack Obama] became quite emotional about transgender student rights, threatening to pull Department of Education funds from school districts that do not comply with federal regulations. Black children are suspended from school three times more than white children are, and there is no evidence that black children are three times as unruly.

Julianne MalveauxI especially appreciated hearing the President [Barack Obama] affirm that "black lives matter" and that it means that some citizens are feeling more pain, and experiencing more negative effects than others, and he offered up the stats. He also indicated that black lives matter does not negate the fact that blue lives matter. He ably walked the tightrope, here, between affirming both black life and police life.
