Is Al Sharpton president of the United States? Or just attorney general?

I ask because it�s not clear where the rabble-rousing rev�s agenda ends and White House policy begins. These days, they are one and the same.

President Obama erased the final distinction Friday by describing the Florida shooting case exclusively in racial terms. Obama�s headline-grabbing statement that �Trayvon Martin could have been me� and his attempt to justify black anger were straight out of Sharpton�s playbook.

* Consider that Sharpton called for demonstrations against the verdict, then it was revealed that the Justice Department had financed protests. Obama said Friday that demonstrations were �understandable.�

* Sharpton called for an end to �stand your ground� laws like Florida�s, and Attorney General Eric Holder echoed the goal. Obama suggested Friday such laws add to violence, though he conceded the law was not part of the trial.

* Sharpton called for a civil-rights probe of Zimmerman, and Holder promised one. Later, the Justice Department held a conference call with the NAACP and other liberal groups and promised to created an e-mail address to solicit tips on Zimmerman. Aides say Obama supports Holder�s decision.

* Sharpton protested the stop-and-frisk policy of the New York Police Department, then Holder supported a federal monitor. But after Obama went off message by praising top cop Ray Kelly for doing an �extraordinary job,� White House insiders let it be known Obama is unlikely to name Kelly head of Homeland Security because of stop-and-frisk.
------
Back in 2009, Rahm Emanuel advised Obama to �never let a serious crisis go to waste.�

In 2013, the advice stands amended: �Never let a serious crisis go to waste, even if you have to manufacture one.�

That�s the world according to Al Sharpton, guru to the president.
