 "As the predominantly black, disproportionately poor community of Ferguson, Mo., erupted in protest...critics excoriated President Obama for his failure to empathize....Mr. Obama’s defenders point to his second-term commitment to issues that touch the lives of poor communities of color, especially his initiative to assist young minority men, My Brother’s Keeper. But what both sides are ignoring is the president’s first-term record. A true measure of a president’s priorities lies hidden in plain sight in his budget proposals. Under that standard, Mr. Obama has been more committed to communities like Ferguson than any Democratic president in the past half century." Tali Mendelberg and Bennett L. Butler in The New York Times
