You had to know Obama would defend Muslim convert, America and cop hater Colin Kaepernick. My only question is, what took Hussein so long? Was be busy snorkeling in Hawaii?

I don’t know that Obama has ever said less substantively in two minutes than he says here. Kaepernick has a right to protest the anthem? Everyone already understands that. It’s especially tough for the military to stomach disrespect for the national anthem? That may be — they risk more than other Americans do to honor their country — but Kaepernick’s protest has offended many civilians too. (And not all veterans are offended, of course.) Making it a “Kaepernick vs. the military” thing feels like O’s way of dodging how widespread the public criticism is. And then there’s this:
“I’d rather have young people who are engaged in the argument and trying to think through how they can be part of our democratic process than people who are just sitting on the sidelines not paying attention at all.”
“At least he’s engaged” has to be the single most vacuous thing you can say about any political activist. By that logic, Obama should prefer Trump’s friends in the alt-right to the average twentysomething who’s worried more about finding a promising job than politics. They’re “engaged in the argument” too.
Time for Hillary Clinton to take time out of her busy nap schedule and defend Kaepernick too. It’s just what Democrats are.
