When Our President Speaks

Dallas Chief of Police, David Brown, embraces President Obama after the president's historic and challenging speech today. The speech commemorated the five heroic Dallas police officers who were murdered while protecting those protesting police killings of two black men the week before.

I am thankful to both of these men for their candor and leadership this week.

This was far from the first time the president has comforted the nation with speeches after such horrible events. My friend Howard Smith expressed my view of what our president has so gracefully and forcefully done in each instance.
