I thought it was great. To me, it demonstrates a huge difference between Obama and Romney which is that Obama at least can appear to be in touch with the average American while Romney has difficulty doing this.

Yes I agree. President Obama is one of the best Panderer in Chiefs that has ever been in office. Heck Even Bill Clinton comes in second to this whoremonger.

Did you hear the audio of those calls? There NO racist cracks! Do you just believe what someone tells you or do you research it yourself? Sounds like you do the former.

Actually, more whites voted for McCain. So therefore we can conclude that you think the majority of Whites in this country are "vile racists". Interesting.

Well I wouldn't say you were wrong exactly. If you read his comments they are very neutral. He didn't exactly chime in the way he did over the Gates situation a couple years ago. He pretty much voted "present" on this one.

This will be the day Obama lost the election. He's also poisoned the jury pool. No charges can be brought against Zimmerman now.

Whattttttttttttttttttttttt?
Imagine your son or daughter have been gunned down by a 'wannabee" cop.
Imagine waiting for your child to return from the store and waiting and waiting and waiting.
Imagine having to contact the Police to report your child missing and then being visited by local cops to tell you that they are dead from a shooting.
Imagine knowing that your child had a cell phone and yet the police could not even be bothered to contact you about your child's death.
Imagine having the person who shot your child walking around free because of just his story of 'self defence" even though there is no evidence to back that up.
Imagine Imagine that you would say.... "hey that is OK, I have lost my child but no investigation is needed"..............................
YOU would be jumping up and down demanding justice and saying that you were treaed badly..... unless you didn't care about your family..........

What part of his answer did you not like? He was asked by a reporter. Do you believe who should have said, "No comment"?

Also did Trayvon not have the right to self defense himself?

Not one shred of evidence points towards Trayvon seeking out Mr. Zimmerman, if he had heeded the Police Dispatchers advice to "stay away" and allowed the Police to do their job, none of this would have happened.

Also why are people ignoring that even Republican Lawmakers in Florida who sponsored this law are saying it does not apply to George Zimmerman (Florida lawmakers behind Stand Your Ground law says it does not apply to George Zimmerman | GantDaily.com)

Anyone who says that this is self defense is in complete denial.
You can follow anyone you like. You just can't stalk or threatened them. Zimmerman did neither.

Trayvon had the right to self defense but he doesn't have the right to sneak up on someone following him and punch them in the back of the head. Once he did that it was on.

If someone is pursuing you and you've successfully dodged them why would you go back and strike them?
