    I'm not talking about this making national news. I'm talking about Obama not responding to the victim's families after 3 seperate letters to the White House.

    Did Obushama even know about the letters?

    Allow me to state the blatantly obvious.

    Obama was asked by reporters about Gates. Obama was asked by reporters about Martin. As far as I know, he was not asked by reporters about this incident.

    So why criticize for different circumstances? he did not impose himself into either discussion, but was interjected by the press.

    They are of no political use to Ubama, that's why he doesn't care. He only cares about TM because he's black and Ubama and his ilk are racist pigs and that can use TM as a political football.

    Did Fluke ask Ubama to call her? Another political football.

    This case and the Gates case was national news and it was that stage that was the difference. Obushama most certainly could have denied commenting on either one but he is a sell out and used his skin color to try and score points. That whole "my son would look like Trayvon" crap was engineered heart tugging for the infinitely naive.

    Ubama is a user. He only cares about people who can further his political agenda.

    He didn't call the parents of these murdered children, but he called Fluke and I'm sure, she didn't ask him to call her, nor did the media ask him about her. Martin and Fluke are just political peons to him.

    I don't know why you think Black culture in your country is the same as here. Honestly, most (not all) American Blacks have a chip on their shoulder toward Whites. Sorry, but it's true.

    You're actually whining about Obushama as a way of ignoring the post?????

    That term came from showing how Bush never really left office because Obama carried on so much of what that administration was doing that without a calendar, you wouldn't be able to tell when Bush left and Obama entered.

    I have meet more white people with chips on their shoulders then blacks.

    I was one of a hand full of white kids in my school and I am one of only two white people I work with. Never seen any of them with a chip.

    Maybe you don't know very many black people?

    I'm not bringing you into it. Am I asking you to use that name? No.

    What I am asking is do not run from the claim Obushama didn't impose himself on the situations.

    You tried to justify Obushama commenting on the Gates and Martin cases. If you don't want called out on poorly formed claims then do not make them at all........

    Is Obama expected to call the parents of EVERY murdered child in America? I think not. The fact Obama hasn't called these people doesn't mean he isn't saddened by their children's killing, it simply means that he has more important things to do with his time than play agony aunt.

    POTUS is not required to respond to every letter that drops through the mail slot at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I believe in the Gates case he is friends with Gates and Gates was a professor at his Alma mater. Furthermore the police arrested the guy at his own home. I mean Jeez if you can't stick up for your friends when you are POTUS when can you?!

    Plus Obama is the chief law enforcement officer of the land. He is uniquely qualified to comment on law enforcement matters.

    It's too bad we've never had a white president to address the pressing issues that whites care about.

    Oh wait. . .

    It's the same with blacks in every country. The blacks I've encountered in England are just as ignorant, aggressive, obnoxious, arrogant and stupid as the ones back in the U.S.

    Obama picks who he responds to very, very carefully. He has very different standards when it comes to victims of high profile murders... and this was (or certainly should've been) a very high profile murder.

    Tell me why the left is so quick to label George Zimmerman as a WHITE Hispanic?

    Wha-what? Because they have an agenda?

    Perhaps because the cops were satisfied that Zimmerman was protecting himself. Or were the cops racist too? You'll have to prove that before you can continue to argue down this road you're on.

    Perhaps you don't realize what happens when you are the minority and aren't perceived as a threat? I never felt more at home with a group of people than when they voted me in as their only white member of their chapter of the Negro Bowling Association.

    Peoples perceptions change when you give them a reason to.

    I'm agreeing with you here, Watcher. But I've seen chips on people shoulders and it rarely has to do with race.

    No, but the problem is that when he does, it is people of color or who hold his same ideals.

    It is all about the visuals and from where I am standing it looks blatantly like he is picking to interject himself only in cases where black people or same-ideology people are involved.
