Former President Barack Obama called out what he perceived as a double standard in media coverage of the tragedy of the OceanGate Titan submersible versus the migrant boat that sank off the coast of Greece last week.
In an interview with CNN host Christiane Amanpour in Athens, Greece Thursday night, the 44th president railed against "inequality" in our "democracy" and claimed the fact that news of the missing OceanGate sub dominated the news cycle, while the sinking of a migrant boat in the Mediterranean Sea did not, is an example of this "inequality."
Obama noted that "democracy is not going to be healthy" due to this type of "obscene inequality."

If that is the case give up your Martha Vineyards mansion and let illegals live there for free. Practice what you preach you scum bag.

Meh. $250 K ticket price for a submarine ride didn’t assure safe arrival. Why would you expect it on an overloaded fishing boat?

It’s all a matter of timing, the sub-sinking was needed to divert attention from Biden corruption news.

What’s important is that these people died so that Obama could grace us with another of his speeches.

In an interview with CNN host Christiane Amanpour...Did she mention anything about the bribes given to Brandon? Hussein knew all about them.

Oh, shut up, Mr. Obama. If you cared about inequality, you’d go away and let a poor person have the attention.

Wake up bammy. "Migrants" on top of the water are common and at least have a fighting chance to swim and survive.
You gonna blame the public for being transfixed by the thought of 5 men inescapably trapped in a nightmarish situation in a dangerous craft, and a possible dramatic rescue attempt?

I would like to know why nobody’s interested in what went on during that 8 hour delay in reporting, and why our Deep State wanted the charade that it was a rescue to continue for days.

Jugears is the most useless and divisive piece of crap a woman ever pushed out from between her legs other than faeces. He is as corrupt as is Biden and most of the Democrats.
