That would go along with Obama's ridiculous mindset - don't do anything that bullies will interpret as criticism. Any 1st grader knows that bullies see that as weakness, and go after their victims even more. [/quote]

Tough but serious question here: do you think Obama would have responded differently if it had been a black college student? I'm not trying to start anything here, just curious what others think. And if you think his response would have been the same regardless, I can respect that. Just curious if others think there might have been implicit bias against Otto. Just look at some of the responses here for examples.[/quote]
I'm glad you had the courage to say this. I can't help but notice that so many people are saying that Otto was responsible for his own stupid choices to flout NK law, often throwing in a disparaging remark about the "white boy." Yet, these same people refuse to say that blacks who who defy police commands to halt or drop their weapon are likewise responsible for their own stupid choices.

To answer your question more directory, yes....I think Obama would have reacted differently had this been a black student. Look at how he interjected himself into the Trayvon Madtin and Michael Brown cases, yet nary a word when a white kid is killed. His sympathies clearly lied with blacks, and I believe he was a polished-up version of Sharpton. (Remember how he said his grandmother reacted like "a typical white person?" Can you imagine a white president saying someone reacted like a "typical black person"?)[/quote]
