    It's unfortunate that he Obama couldn't help in sense that it would have saved a man's life, not because it was the Prez saving someone...

    I agree with his latter remarks as well...

    RIP Troy D...

    Everyone was trying to save him from THAT offense, because of the flaky evidence

    just didn't matter in the end

    How is it possible that he "tried" but didn't make it happen?
    Yeah I don't buy that.

    Why does it take 22 years to get people to look at a case that might have been unfairly tried?? :confused:

    BHO has all kinds of Executive Powers and political contacts he could have exploited if he really, REALLY wanted to stop that execution.

    IMO Obama did 'just enough' to give himself a partially clean conscience.

    I know he didn't convict and sentence Mr. Davis, but if Obama wanted to turn this execution into a major issue, he could have.

    No White House move on Troy Davis

    A White House official and a reporter who was in the room today denied a report from an African-American radio host who says Obama told a group of black journalists that he tried to save Troy Davis.

    The report from Rob Redding Jr. at The Redding News Review, which we were unable to confirm, says the president said he'd looked into saving the death row inmate for "three days" and inquired with the local authorities.

    But White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer flatly denied the report to me just now, as did American Urban Radio Networks' April Ryan, who was among the reporters at the off-the-record meeting from which the story purported to draw.

    "That article was completely, 100 percent wrong," said Ryan, who said she'd pressed Obama on Davis at the gathering with African-American media figures including radio hosts Joe Madison, Tom Joyner, and Michel Martin, though not Redding. Obama, she said, was "unequivocal" that there was "nothing he could do" in the Davis case, though he did tell the group that in general, he had concerns about innocent death row inmates, and that he'd worked in Illinois to improve the criminal justice system.

    Not surprised one bit.

    I don't know why they love that little bat-eared crackhead so much.

    Politicians are 3 notches below child molester...fuck him and the corporate sugar daddies that own his bitch ass.
