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.
Yeah, but let's not use those resources to find out why 3 black kids lit a 13 year old white kid on fire while hurling racist epithets. This POTUS is as racist as they come.

They were arrested. were they not? They will get what they deserve, but in FL case it seems a crime will go unpunished.
Don't you see the importance of NOT letting a potential murder go unpunished in the Zimmerman case?

What's your point? Don't just post a story here. You're not CNN.

Based on what? I mean other than your emotions are dominating your rational thought and you want to find anything to complain about when it comes to Obama. Please feel free to show RATIONALLY why you think he is as racist "as they come".

National soul searching= spineless limp wristed nanny leader turd of a President!
What a puke! This leader is disgusting and he's not my President. Black white or brown the only thing he cares about is getting relected.
We don't need soul searching Mr. President we need F'ING JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Act like an adult and put away the emotion. Perhaps you should have read some more about his comments...
"He cautioned that his comments would be limited because the Justice Department was investigating. But he talked at length about his personal feelings about the case."
There's no spineless there. He's acting like a mature adult in an important role and can't act like some pissed off frat boy. As to your comments about the only thing he cares about, I'm guessing, at the very least, he cares about the health and well-being of his family. If you're a US citizen, he's your President whether you like it or not.
Free free, at some point, to make any comments that aren't purely emotional and that can back up with some semblance of fact.

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?
Yeah, but let's not use those resources to find out why 3 black kids lit a 13 year old white kid on fire while hurling racist epithets. This POTUS is as racist as they come.
"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."

Dude, what the f** are you talking about? this is a huge tragedy and injustice, he was asked a question and answered it. I don't even like Obama, I voted for Ron Paul, but what is your problem? You support this racist shooting or something?
