Obama silent on Chris Lane killing -- WHY?

Ed. here, filling in for Walt and Len today. Seems hardly fair. But my comment on the day's news will be just a short one. On Wednesday Len wrote about the disparity in the lamestream media's coverage of the killing of Christopher Lane, compared with that of Trayvon Martin. But there's someone else whose view of "racism" spins 180 degrees when a crime is black-on-white, rather than white-on-black.

Step forward Barack Hussein Obama, the first (somewhat) black President of the USA! When I say "step forward", I mean that literally, since O'Bama has yet to say Word One about the senseless killing of a white college student by three young black thugs. Here's a comment from Canada's QMI agency.

Why did President Obama weigh in on the Trayvon Martin killing but not the alleged thrill killing of Australian baseball player Christopher Lane in Oklahoma?

Lane killed by a gunshot in the back last week in Duncan, Okla., where he was visiting his girlfriend.

Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, have been charged with first degree murder, according to the Stephens County District Attorney’s office. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, has been charged with use of a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and accessory to murder after the fact, the District Attorney’s office said.

According to police, Jones said the three teens decided to kill someone “for the fun of it.”

Police said Jones told them on Sunday that the three teenagers saw Lane out jogging and decided he would be their target, followed him in their vehicle and then shot him. Jones was driving the car, and Luna fired the gun, according to prosecutors.

When Trayvon Martin got killed, the Prez was quick off the mark to identify himself with the family of the deceased. Should we hold our collective breath waiting for him to say "If I'd had a son, he'd look much like 'Junior'"? In a word... no.
