Bob McCarty Writes

President Barack Obama has been silent about the weekend murder of a pro-life advocate outside a high school in a small town near Flint, Mich.  And he’s said nothing after a white student was beaten by black students on a school bus in Belleville, Ill., a few miles southeast of St. Louis.  It’s as if these recent events did not happen.  The White House double standard is painfully evident.

Following the May 31 murder of Wichita abortionist George Tiller, President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder launched an investigation into Dr. Tiller’s murder and members of his entourage the mainstream media were there to stir the pot against pro-lifers every step of the way.

Two years earlier, then-presidential candidate Obama cheered when battery charges against one member of the so-called “Jena 6” were overturned by a judge in Louisiana.

Perhaps, I’m premature in pointing out this double standard in the Obama White House.  Heck, he’s probably planning a backyard beer bash for all of the parties involved in these events (i.e., the Michigan murderer, his victim’s next of kin and the whole busload of kids from Belleville).
