Halperin: ‘Polarizing Figure’ Obama Shouldn’t Go to Ferguson Since He’ll Politicize it

"I don't think he should go [to Ferguson].  Here is the thing. The Justice Department is still looking at civil rights violation in the case. They are also still looking at the relationship between the Ferguson police department and the community. The president -- the Justice Department works with the president. If he goes there he's going to politicize the thing because he is now a polarizing figure. I think the [indecipherable] but I think the president is going to do the hard work behind the scenes. The attorney general is going to do it toward the country. He is also polarizing figure. But I think going to Ferguson would be a mistake. National media is obsessed with it. I don't think he should go."
