KUHNER: Obama’s Oklahoma hypocrisy
Skin color tinges the president’s response to crime
The Washington Times
President Obama has been exposed as a hypocrite. Christopher Lane,
a white Australian student, was killed in Oklahoma last week, shot in
the back while he was jogging. Two of the perpetrators were black
teenagers, who admitted they were “bored” and decided to kill Mr. Lane
for “the fun of it.” The case has garnered massive international media
attention. Mr. Obama’s response: silence. He refuses to speak out on the
issue.
Contrast this with the Trayvon Martin case. The president publicly denounced the killing of the 17-year-old black teenager prior to the trial of the shooter, George Zimmerman. In fact, Mr. Obama claimed that, if he had a son, he would have “looked just like Trayvon.” The implication was clear: By shooting Trayvon, Mr. Zimmerman had also targeted the president. The liberal media pounced on the story, relentlessly portraying Mr. Zimmerman as a “white Hispanic,” who had supposedly committed a hate crime upon an innocent black victim. It was 1964 in Mississippi all over again. The liberal narrative was as false as it was preposterous: Blacks are being gunned down by racist, gun-toting whites.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
