    Missouri Lt. Gov.: Nixon Bowed to Pressure from Obama and Holder to Not Send National Guard


    Martha MacCallum asked Kinder how the protests could have gotten so out-of-hand given the preparations made over the past week, and Kinder came out firing at the governor.
    “You know how an executive differs from a member of Congress? You actually have to do something. It is not enough to stand at a press conference and mouth some lines that are prepared. You have to actually act. What the vast majority of Missourians are asking this morning is … where were [the National Guard] last night?”
    Kinder also speculated that the reason the National Guard was not in Ferguson last night was because the Obama Administration “leaned on” Nixon to “keep them out.”

    “I cannot imagine any other reason why the governor who mobilized the National Guard would not have them in there to stop this before it started,” Kinder added.

    I don't think it was pressure from Obama but political ambition. Nixon wants to be VP, and he must be pro-black to even have a chance. and if he seeks another term as gov he needs black votes, as any Dem does.
