Barack Obama must be counting down the days until his term as President is over as America continues to become more unsettled.
You would think that Barack Obama must be counting down the days until his term as United States President comes to an end later this year.
He is probably already thinking of where to put his presidential library and when to start writing his memoirs - and who would blame
him.
America is, to put it mildly, very unsettled at the moment. With the country already on edge with the Isis threat, race relations have hit an all-time low with police shootings of black men and the retaliatory execution of five police officers by a clearly deranged black man, Micah Johnson.
Caught in the middle is Mr Obama, who is facing criticism from the right for not doing enough to keep people safe and for not condemning the protest group Black Lives Matter's street action. He has also been criticised by African American activists for apparently taking it upon himself to explain to the country how black people are feeling.
Racial disharmony is difficult for any leader to handle and the divisive rhetoric coming from the likes of Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump certainly would not be helping things.
