    This is Barack Obama. There will be no nice gestures towards the Australian man's family who was murdered by black teens in Oklahoma.

    It doesn't serve the progressive agenda. End of story.

    Is she kidding?

    The black president only comments when he can play the race card and he can't do when a white person dies.

    Obama's nice gesture: "We deplore this horrible act of violence - but completely understand the rage that all black children feel at having to endure such constant oppression by the white plantation system."

    why should the President of the USA comment on any local crime or self defense? Do you want the POTUS to make comments on suspected breaking and entering or when someone who is getting his head bashed in, shoots the attacker? And what do you want after that? Do you want the POTUS to sit down and have a beer or something with the people involved?

    Sheesh, have a little regard for the office if the presidency

    Obama didn't speak about the Trayvon Martin incident until a month after... This happened a week ago. Give him a chance before the typical knee-jerk rightwing response.

    Obama comments on local events when they make blacks look sympathetic or whites look bad.

    But in this case the victim is white and the black president is silent.

    The cases are different because, despite what we may think, Obama thought the Zimmerman case was being wrongly handled, while he doesn't think the same for this one. Do you expect him to speak on every murder, or you expect him to never speak on any crimes - unjustly tried or not? The latter is a valid position, one I might even hold myself - but that reduces your disagreement with the President to a fairly trivial issue, and your OP loses a lot of its appeal as a tirade against racist hypocrisy.

    Oh, and by the way, almost every fellow Australian I have ever talked to is in favor of strong gun control. We don't get it. I rang into a local radio program last night and tried to explain the argument from the perspective of liberty - people seem to agree and realize the distinction once you make both sides' positions clear.

    Obama got involved with the trayvon Martin shooting because Martin was black.

    What's your evidence from that? Obama himself and the left generally seem to think it's because the Zimmerman case wasn't properly handled, so I guess the burden of proof is on you. After all, who knows intent better than the relevant person himself?

    Not saying you're wrong, just asking for clarification.

    Not properly handled why?

    Obama made it clear that he thought race was the reason.

    But we have far more evidence that hatred of whites motivated the black killers in Oklahoma yet Obama remains silent.

    Agreed, the next thing you know, righties will think Obama should comment on a guy suspected of breaking and entering, or one who defended himself.

    Obama's statements in getting involved in the Trayvon case had comments like "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon"

    If that's not Race, What is it?!

    And in a month you won't find this story in the media, because it's not controversial, and so the president will probably never comment on it.
    Bad kids killed an innocent victim, there isn't any question whether the kids are going to prison for a very long time or not.
    If the police released the three, saying they didn't think they had a case, that the victim had attacked the three and put them in fear of their lives and they only responded in self defense, then the case would still be in the news in a month, and the president might very well comment on it.

    Do the people of Oklahoma really want the President to visit and give a speech. He was just there for the tornadoes a few months ago.

    Right, it had to be blown up into a race issue first.

    Obama went to a black liberation theology church for 20 years. Not only will he not speak out and condemn these black on white attacks, he's probably laughing about it with his buddies Jesse, Al, and the NBP.

    For the chief executive office to start making prejudicial statements before there has been an arrest or a trial is very bad.

    The Soros trolls are falling all over themselves trying to explain why BH Obama made public statements in support of the criminal punk Little Trayvon but keeps quite when Black punks kill this white guy from Australia.

    I agree that BH Obama will not comment on this case even though this was clearly a hate crime. One of these punks posted days before that he had knocked out several white for Little Trayvon. That is not a concern for BHO so he will not comment.
    Soros told you to pretend that these two cases have some link in reality?? The cases are nothing alike other than BHO injected himself to cause racial tension in one but is silent when this case is clearly about Black hate for whites, rising from his comments about Little Trayvon.

    We get it.

    Black kids killing a white does not interest the lib news media because it does not help the lib agenda.

    But a Hispanic killing a black does help the race baiting left and the lib news media comments on it endlessly.

    Hispanics killing blacks doesn't interest the lib news media either. The lib news media jumped on Zimmerman because they thought he was white conservative gun owner. By the time they realized they were wrong, they were already too entrenched to back out. They still tried to portray him as a white guy. It must have worked, considering blacks are going after whites in wake of Zimmerman's acquittal.

    I think cowardice is a big factor, though. Young blacks know they can attack and kill whites without any real fear of retribution. They won't go after Hispanics because Hispanics will go to war with blacks and win. That's what has been happening all over the country whenever Hispanics move into a black area.

    Obviously you don't get it.
    It has to do with the news cycle and how news is marketed in America.
    This story has no shelf life, because a picture of a white guy does not capture eyeballs.
    If the kids killed a beautiful blond, you would see her picture 24/7.
    There is no controversy about this case, it was a horrible crime, the perpetrators are in custody, there will be a trial, a conviction and a sentence.
    It's a dog bites man type story, with no good visuals.

    Your theory is baloney.

    What libs see is skin color.

    That's why Obama jumped on the trayvon Martin shooting and why the lib news media played the race angle.

    It's why James Byrd being dragged to death by whites in Jasper Texas made worldwide headlines, while the story of Ken Tillery, a white man dragged to death by 3 black men in Jasper Texas 3 years later, causes nearly everyone reading this right now to ask "who is Ken Tillery"?
