Seems to me if he can inject himself into the incident involving the Good Professor Gates, he should be speaking out harshly on this Gang Rape incident and the vile, cowardly bystanders.

Wonder why he hasn't stood up and fired some harsh words at that community?

No politician will touch this one. It's not the politically correct thing to do.

Because it didn't involve one of his black friends.

Maybe he learned his lesson last time.

That one was easier - what's he going to do with this case? Bring the rape victim and rapists together for (another) beer?

Because he's pro-gang rape and vile, cowardly bystanding, of course. Duh.

I could hear his response, "I didn't hear about it, because I don't watch that cable news channel. I don't let stuff like that keep me up at night."

Because he is has been far to busy playing golf all week?

No he can't used that one...it was already used by bush during hurricane Katrina

Maybe because the last time he said anything that didn't directly relate to the WH, the economy, the war or healthcare the world threw a tantrum? I mean just a guess.
