If he had a favorite comedian, he would have looked like Robin Williams.
President Obama is drawing fire from conservative critics as well as his radical base for releasing a statement Monday praising Williams but remaining silent on the death of a teenager shot to death during what police said was a scuffle but a witness said was unprovoked officer shooting.
Conservatives maintain Obama could have taken time away from the links on Martha’s Vineyard long enough to make a comment on the riots and looting that broke out Sunday night in Ferguson, Mo., by thugs taking advantage of a vigil in memory of slain teenager Michael Brown.

Obama CAN’T speak on #Ferguson / He CAN’T side with looters / riots and he can’t influence an investigation on #MikeBrown. Not this time.

Meanwhile, Obama’s leftist base was outraged that the president paid tribute to Williams but ignored what they’re calling “police brutality.”
Obama commented on Robin Williams’ death, but has yet to say a word on the catastrophe occurring in Ferguson. Need I say more.

Obama made a statement on a suicide before #MikeBrown#FERGUSON That’s not “OUR” President

(Technically, he’s supposed to be “EVERYONE’S” president, but we get the point.)
President Obama released a statement on Robin Williams within hours of his death but he has yet to release a statement on #ferguson why? — target (@jaylannc) August 12, 2014
Doubtless because of politics. With his party already headed toward a massacre at the polls in November at the hands of a truly fed up electorate, Obama’s handlers didn’t need to give any more ammunition to his opponents by coming out on the side of criminals the whole country saw on a looting spree that had nothing to do with Brown’s death.
Sorry #Ferguson. Obama had to make a hard choice. He commented about Robin Williams because Hollywood gives $$$ & Missouri went for Romney — The Right Wing M (@TheRightWingM) August 12, 2014
That’s the world in a hyper-politicized presidency.
And if he’d had a favorite comedian, he would have looked like Robin Williams.
