It Helps If You Look Like The President

The White House has asserted executive privilege over the fast and furious documents. This whole fiasco has been about Brian Terry, what happened, why did he die, who or what policies might have contributed to his death and how might it have been prevented. When Trayvon Martin was killed the president stated "it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this." Then he said "my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin, if I had a son he would look like Trayvon and I think they are right to expect all of us as Americans are gonna take this with the seriousness that it deserves and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened." Now, Mr. President, Brian Terry has parents, they have a son, he looks like them, why is it not imperative that we investigate every aspect of their son's death and get to the bottom of exactly what happened? Is it because he does not look like you? One thing is for sure with this development, constitutional law experts might argue the legality of this action but that is only an interesting side issue, the big deal here is that it is obvious there is something extremely big that they are hiding and if few were interested before, everyone is now. cjpost
