Obama (FINALLY) Responds to Chris Lane Murder

Well, sorta. He released a statement through White House spokesman Matt Lehrich sending his prayers. You can't really blame the president for not calling the family. After all, it's long distance to Australia and Chris didn't look like the son Obama never had. His death is an event that can't be used to gain votes, so why put himself out? Chris Lane was only a foreign white cracker gunned down by bored kids who couldn't afford the kind of vacations the president, who looks like them, can to alleviate boredom in the White House . So they went out and killed somebody for the thrill of it - anybody as long as the victim was white.

Will Obama Claim Chris Lane's Murderers as His Sons?

Why not? They look like him and, as author Jack Cashill points out, there are strong parallels between Trayvon Martin and Chris Lane's killers. But how did people like Jessie Jackson react to the murder of the Australian ball player and college student who was shot in the back by black thugs who were "bored?" He tweeted that their action is "frowned upon." Not quite the hysterical response that greeted George Zimmerman's self-defense killing of Trayvon Martin. Where are the rallies and calls for justice for Chris Lane? Don't hold your breath. Black thugs committing thrill killings get a shrug from demagogues like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. Their actions can't help them manipulate the mob.

Jack Cashill makes a clear and persuasive case for the deterioration of race relations under Barack Obama who has never failed to make a situation involving racial aspects more volatile. He has made it more likely that white and black Americans will react to each other with hate and mistrust. What a legacy for the first black president to leave us.
