Lapdoggin' is hard: Journo fails to convince 'all' Americans to join Obama in unity goal

President Obama, briefly back in Washington, DC before returning to Martha’s Vineyard tomorrow, is scheduled to make another statement about Iraq and the situation in Ferguson, Mo.

With that in mind, this request from Mark Halperin, the managing editor of Bloomberg Politics, is lapdog-tastic:

The president will be trying to bring the country together at this tough time in his afternoon remarks; let's all join him in that goal.

Halperin’s got his work cut out for him:

The last response constitutes heresy in the MSM world:

C'mon, @jpodhoretz . What is the argument against taking a time out from just attack attack attack? This problem is solvable w/unity.
