Speaking Monday about the ongoing violence in Ferguson, Mo., he was guarded, reserved and deeply clinical. Obama didn't reflect on how if he had a son, that son would look like Michael Brown, the 18-year old killed by a police officer in the St. Louis suburb. He didn't point out again that he, like many black men, knew well the experience of being suspiciously followed in a store, or having people lock the doors on their cars when they saw him walking down the street.
