Maybe I'm mistaken, but presidents don't normally comment on murder cases where the perp has been caught, tired, and sentenced to life w/o parole. After reading the article at your link, I didn't see where there was any national controversy over this case. Murder is a state crime, not national.
So why is running his trap about the Trayvon Martin case?
It has everything to do with the blatant hypocrisy of the conservatives displayed here.
And, just in case you don't get my meaning....the practice of bloviating over something that was perfectly ok in your eyes in the Bush years.
Then, cherry-picking crap out of the RW media, then gigging the LWers for doing the same damned thing.
THAT's what I mean by hypocrisy.
By the way, this Kid was killed in April of 2011. ONE YEAR before the Limpy incident.
No, the hypocrisy is displayed by the left. Of course Bush offered to meet with the families of every service member killed. Bush has met with over 500 families.
You simply can't support Obama's actions (or lack of action) based upon what Bush did or didn't do. You clearly understand what Obama did here isn't defensible, thus the need to bring Bush into the discussion.

No, I'm asking for an apology. He lied us into a war that cost over 4,000+ American troops' lives.
And, yes I can, it's called a double-standard.
The very definition of hypocricy.

You know something shorebaby, I will call for Obama's statement on this tragedy, just as soon as George W. Bush apologizes to each family of the 4,000+ troops that gave their lives in Iraq because of his insistance that there were WMDs there..(hint, none were found).
Who cares what you are calling for? You can call for anything you like, the two situations simply are not analogous. The family simply wanted a response from Obama. Every killed service persons family was offered a meeting with Bush. Two different situations handled quite differently.
The fact remains you can't support Obama's inaction, in this instance, on its own merits.
Like the time the facts were the cops arrested a guy for trying to get into his own home. That was stupid. Positively.
Lol, of course you understand that is not why he was arrested. But again the left has to reort to this type of obfuscation to deflect from Obama's craven behavior.

The cops hauled the guy away in handcuffs. The guy was at his front door after an out-of-town trip. The cops hassled him, he snapped back, the cops over-reacted. The man is a Harvard professor, not a thug. The cops treated him like he was.
That's what happened. Bad move by the cops. Dumb move by the cops. No way around it.
