GEORGE WASHINGTONBARACK OBAMA

The president's statement on the Zimmerman-trial verdict shows a lack of courage.
Anyone who thought the acquittal of George Zimmerman would easily be the most disappointing thing Americans would hear this weekend was quickly proved wrong. There were countless offensive reactions to the verdict, most notably gleeful celebration (which I refuse to dignify by giving the sources of said celebratory reactions the benefit of additional readers and page views through links in this column). But the most offensive reaction of them all came from a surprising source: President Obama.
The White House released the following statement on behalf of the president:
The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that's a job for all of us. That's the way to honor Trayvon Martin. The president left out one small detail. Well, several actually. For starters, one way to honor Trayvon would be to have an honest conversation about why his death happened.

” We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis.”
Well, if we confiscated all the guns possessed by black males, aged 18-30, we could slow gun violence to a crawl....
You sound like Obama.

Gleeful celbrations? That’s news to me, and maybe why the author won’t give sources. Probably some obscure tweet channel. For those in favor of the verdict, the reaction was largely one of relief that “the system” actually works sometimes, and a time-delayed disgust over the media attempted lynching of George Zimmerman.
0bama fails the Lynch Mob.
He'd rather sit at home and feel righteous in front of his television, while his brothers smash some shit up for him.
He'd do it himself, but jail and all that ain't for him.
“Complaint filed with Attorney General of FL seeking criminal charges to be filed against Eric Holder, Barack Obama, CRS, Angela Corey ...”
Somehow, I think MOM and Wet has a better handle on this than Orly Taitz, bless her heart.
Well said. I'm going to steal that.

FTA: “There were countless offensive reactions to the verdict, most notably gleeful celebration...”
Is this person _still_ writing about the OJ verdict?
Now I see that she’s a chick. She still wants to watch riots on television, because Law and Order gets boring after a while.
King Obama is a communists BLACK Muslim loving pig.
BS! I saw reserved celebration over a just acquittal, but I saw absolutely no demonstrative gleeful celebration like we saw when OJ was acquitted. Hell, this is probably how the author herself reacted back then...
Re: Obama’s statement, I speak Jive, but I don’t speak Gobbledygook. Can anyone translate?
"I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son."
Translation: Don't riot, homies.
"And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities."
Translation: (White) American people need to have more tolerance for violent thugs.
"We should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis."
Translation: I'm telling you, your guns are the problem.
"We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this."
Translation: A savage beating is not a tragedy, but self-defense is.
"As citizens, that's a job for all of us. That's the way to honor Trayvon Martin."
Translation: Violent criminal deserves honor.

One thing is true. A dead Trayvon is worth a lot more to some folks than a live one.
Only if that were so....Calling Eric Holder!
