Obama faces late test of leadership in Dallas
WASHINGTON: Barack Obama will try to pull a fraying country together at a memorial for five slain Dallas policemen on Tuesday -- a monumental leadership test as his presidency winds down.
Eight years ago, Obama´s charisma and ability to inspire propelled him to ****** as America´s first black president, and raised hopes that the country would overcome some of its deeply entrenched societal divides. Even on Saturday, as the country reeled from the Dallas sniper attack targeting police, Obama sounded a **te of optimism. "I firmly believe that America is **t as divided as some have suggested," he told a news conference at a NATO summit in Warsaw. "There is sorrow, there is anger, there is confusion... but there is unity." But soaring words ** longer seem e**ugh. America is all too familiar with armed violence, but the country finds itself on a new precipice. From Charleston to Orlando to Dallas, the past year has seen a torrent of slaughter motivated by hate. Each new shooting is borne from a cocktail of toxic political issues that have pitted Americans against each other. They have brought a measure of common revulsion, but **t a common purpose. In Orlando, a man pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group shot up a gay nightclub using legally bought automatic *******. If the combination of ***uality, religion and extremism were **t combustible e**ugh, a disturbed black veteran executed five white cops in Dallas last week in the midst of spiking tensions over the fatal police shootings of two black men. Obama will address an interfaith memorial service for the victims and visit with the wounded ******rs and relatives of the dead on Tuesday. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Obama faces late test of leadership in Dallas || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
