Obama’s ‘Other Son’

This is the crime http://www.tulsaworld.com/site/printerfriendlystory.aspx?articleid=20120320_11_A1_ULNSet211200&PrintComments=1

They met on a blind date on Thanksgiving 1946, and within a month, Bob and Nancy Strait were married.

For 65 years, the couple lived a happy life in Tulsa, raising their children and sharing their kindness with their family and everyone they met.

“In the evenings, that’s what we did: sit on the porch and pick guitar and sing,” said Lanora, one of their daughters.
Last week, that long marriage and happy family were torn apart by an apparent home invasion that left both Bob, 90, and Nancy Strait, 85, severely beaten. Nancy Strait died from her injuries. Bob Strait survived with a broken jaw and ribs and severe bleeding. Lanora said he could be released from the hospital sometime this week.

Here are some details:

Bob Strait was shot in the face with his own BB gun and suffered a broken jaw and cracked ribs.   Nancy was sexually assaulted and died of her injuries the following day.

Their assailants reportedly made off with the Straits’ television, a BB gun, and the couple’s Dodge Neon.

Police later charged Tyrone Dale Woodfork with murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and burglary in the case.  They say he was apprehended a short distance from the house, having just sold the victim’s television for $250 at a neighborhood gas station.

A British newspaper reports:

According to police reports, a witness spotted the Straits’ stolen car on Thursday afternoon and alerted the police. Officers stopped the car and took several people into custody. All but Woodfork were released.

A photo of Woodfork released by officials in Oklahoma seems to indicate that if Barack H. Obama had had a son, the boy would have looked like Woodfork.

    In a previous life, I was an award winning writer. I spent two days on the road with Edward Kennedy not long after Chappaquidick. I watched as a nun held statue of JFK for him to ‘bless’. No one at any of the papers asked him a hard question. The over the banner story on him concerned his choice of necktie.
    Back then, I never asked the hard questions nor wrote the probing story. Politics wasn’t my beat. If you are saying that by comparing two murderers, by asking a legitimate question of the Admin, I am running close to being banned, then do so.
    I have nothing to apologize for.
    Furthermore, it seems to me that the folks who overdo political correctness have never lived where the rubber meets the road. I grew up not far from the First Lady’s parents later lived. As our neighborhood changed, the wife of a good friend was gang raped and robbed. Don’t do pc on me unless you know wherefrom you speak.

      Read an article the other day about the evils of an author who compiled verifiable stats on race and crime. Anyone who posted anything even remotely critical of the authors “ignore these facts or your a racist” conclusion was banned. Seems a little heavy handed to me….

    ‘Obama’s other son’, who raped an 85 year old woman before killing her, attacked her husband, stole $200, their TV and their car,is barely noticed.
    I’d like to see a moderator in this fall’s debates ask the following:
    Mr President, in the Trayvon Martin case, you famously said that if you had a son, the boy would look like Trayvon.
    A short while later, in Tulsa an 85 year old woman was raped, murdered while an intruder was stealing her cash, her tv and her car.
    Do you think the defendant in this case looks like your son, and what would you say to him? What would you say to her husband, also injured in the assault?
