Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has his own thoughts about why President Obama reacted with almost indifference to the deaths of five U.S. service members in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Because the victims did not look like Trayvon Martin.

That’s right, the sheriff is playing the race card — saying the color of the skin of the sailor and four Marines killed Thursday by a Kuwait-born Muslim was a factor.

Consistent with past practice following a terrorist-related event, Obama attended a fundraiser in New York on Friday. He spent the night in the Big Apple and took in a Broadway matinee show on Saturday — the same day the U.S. sailor succumbed to his injuries – and he spent five hours on the golf course on Sunday.

complaint; do you see what’s ‘wrong’ with it?

While Clarke may be saying what many think, it’s because of the color of his skin that he’s afforded the luxury of expressing such an opinion in Obama’s post-racial America.

There was plenty of agreement on social media to Clarke’s opinion of the “Divider in Chief,” as one user described the president.

Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:

@SheriffClarke Exactly right! Sad, but true. He’s the Divider in Chief!!!

@SheriffClarke what is the real problem? Obama and the Democrats party do not care, all of those men are the wrong color.

@SheriffClarke @DLSteadman More importantly, he doesn’t want to bring attention to his being a failure as CINC, protecting our men

@SheriffClarke @Judy_Taya Obama is as transparent as window glass, people can see right through him when it comes to race and priorities.
