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."

Agree. His ignorance is on full display here.
What a crybully Obama is. If it had been the other way around, he’d be bitching about all negative attention on the migrants and not enough about the crazy white man who killed four people (two from Pokky-ston) on the bottom of the Atlantic.
Obama’s 3rd term isn’t going so well.
Inequality coming from a puke who is considered elite
I agree, he and a few others should have been on that sub.
truth be told, I didn’t give a sh*t about either one.
Silly Negro!The clown who started the “carbon fiber” tour to see how barnacles and sea life will gravitate to a hollowed out cavernous substrate is dead along with other fools who would get in such a vehicle to view such happenings at 12-13 thousand feet below the surface . Meanwhile coordinated efforts to overload ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION onto vessels that cant handle such loads and sink? Bad comparison... and this muzzie and his blathering can go pound sand. I yearn for his slow painful demise...barry sotoreo muslim/kenyan extarordinaire.
When he was President there were 244 people as Prime Minister or Heads of State. WHY DID HE HOG UP ALL THE PRIME TIME AND GET TO BE ON THE NEWS EVERY NIGHT, and no one even mentioned the little guy in Liberia, or in Madagascar?
Because initially, it had drama—it wasw the little girl in the well....four days of oxygen—billionaires—Titanic—the only thing missing was Elvis-—thats why it was covered—a bunch of rich people stuck in a “tin can” six miles above or below the surface is far more interesting than an overloaded fishing trawler full of economic migrants-—sorry—that’s just the way it is...
Migrant ships sink fairly often, a couple times per year. That might make it worse, but it isn’t novel. It’s risky but it doesn’t smack of hubris.
When Obama dies, the news will be full of stories about the first black president, author, Nobel Prize winner, law review editor...and Joe Schmo down the block will have nothing, pass unnoticed by the world at large.
Is that obscene?
FO Ofaggot.
Inequality 24-7.He Must have been a fun kid to be around.My dad must have said life isn’t fair everyday of his life. Get over yourself Obama.
How can we miss him if he won’t go the f*ck away?
When is Barry going to get upset about the obscene inequality of ignoring all the murdered black people in Chicago?
Oh ...
Wait ...
The killers are also black, so it doesn’t count.
Obamas 8.1 million dollar mansion in Washington DC
Inequality? How many properties and luxurious estates does Obama own? The POS is filthy rich and one of the biggest elitists in the world.
Whats obscene is the difference between the estate this Stalinist creep lives in and the house I live in.
Because he is the magic negro.
