Mr. President: You made great effort to be personally involved after the death of a young black man in Florida. You went so far as to say the black youth killed could have been your son. Does this mean the young black people in Oklahoma who murdered a white man from Australia could have been your sons?
Could the young black people who beat a white World War II veteran to his death in Washington state have been your sons?
Mr. President, could the reason you have made no comments on murdering Christians and destroying their places or worship in Egypt be because you have no Christian background in your ancestry?
