Hmmm...do you think this killer is what obama's son would look like?

Paul Davies and Joe Hallett spoke of the "living hell" they and others who knew the men had suffered since the murders.
During the eight day trial they had been shown graphic crime scene and autopsy photos shown in court.
Later speaking after Tyson was jailed Davies and Hallett lashed out at Mr Obama saying the deaths of their friends was "not worthy of ten minutes of his time."
Davies said:"We would like to publicly express our dissatisfaction at the lack of any public or private message of support or condolence from any American governing body or indeed, President Obama himself.
"Mr Kouzaris has written to President Obama on three separate occasions and is yet to even receive the courtesy of a reply.
"It would perhaps appear that Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time."
The rebuke follows Mr Obama's personal intervention into the shooting in Florida of a young black teenager by a white-Hispanic neighbourhood watch captain.

I would guess saying the lack of action is probably political would be accurate, but it does set the President up for criticism on a racial basis.

Of course one must also consider the assailant in this case did end up being charged, convicted, and sentenced to life without parole. That has been one of the points by many people, in the case of Trayvon Martin, the belief that he killed in an unlawful manner, but has not even been charged, let alone found himself in court.

I think the pres should have kept his mouth shut and not commented on it.
