Obama: 'If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon'
President Barack Obama spoke out Friday for the first time on the growing national controversy over the shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Florida, saying Friday that the incident requires national "soul-searching."
"When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids," Obama said. "And I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this and that everybody pulls together, federal, state and local to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened.
Obama will stoop as low as possible to get votes, including the use of a teenager death.
He has no limits on the material he will use to deceive voters.
Because he ONLY speaks out in favor of some supposed injustice done to blacks and stays silent when it happens the other way. Is that rational enough for you?
What is your example? If you are talking about that kid in Ft. Lauderdale that was set on fire, those kids that did it are in jail. This shooter is free and living fine... well for the moment, but he will be charged and in jail soon as he should be. He pursued someone when the police told him to stop. He needs to be in jail for murder. He was 90 lbs heavier than that kid. Goodness.
"I have sat back and allowed myself time to assess the current episode revealing itself in Sanford, Florida involving the shooting of 17-year-old Treyvon Martin. First of all, if all that has been reported is accurate, the Sanford Police Chief should be relieved of his duties due to what appears to be a mishandling of this shooting in its early stages. The US Navy SEALS identified Osama Bin Laden within hours, while this young man laid on a morgue slab for three days. The shooter, Mr Zimmerman, should have been held in custody and certainly should not be walking free, still having a concealed weapons carry permit. From my reading, it seems this young man was pursued and there was no probable cause to engage him, certainly not pursue and shoot him….against the direction of the 911 responder. Let’s all be appalled at this instance not because of race, but because a young American man has lost his life, seemingly, for no reason. I have signed a letter supporting a DOJ investigation. I am not heading to Sanford to shout and scream, because we need the responsible entities and agencies to handle this situation from this point without media bias or undue political influences. This is an outrage."
The sad thing is that many both inside Florida and Outside Florida are working to remove or limit the rights of Florida Blacks to defend themselves. These people are representing themselves to the Black community as their friends etc and are actually working to remove the rights of the Blacks that the Blacks now enjoy. They are using this incident in an attempt to confuse Blacks.

This isn't the first time. Remember the black professor and the beer summit?

What rights are being removed? This should be a hoot!

Rep. Allan West.
Nuff said.
Amusing. Rep West joins the long list of idiots who have formed an opinion on this topic while knowing very few if any of the facts. I'm sure his opinion was predictable even before the news came out.
