President Barack Obama, breaking his silence on the George Zimmerman acquittal, said Friday that many African-Americans believe that “both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different” if Trayvon Martin had been white. “You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son,” Obama said somberly during a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room. “Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” In searingly personal terms, Obama described his personal experience with race-based prejudice. “There are very few African-American men in this country who haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store -- that includes me,” he said.

Fox resident liberal Chris Wallace taking up for everything that the racist-in-chief said. O’Reilly will agree tonight.
I’m sorry, but I had understood that this took place in Florida, not Indonesia.
Open mouth, insert foot.
This is absolute BS, he is just playing to his base. Just recently someone released a picture of his HS prom night, he, his date and another couple. All three were white and he is half white. It was a very sophisticated photo, hardly ghetto and I doubt if there was rampant racism in Hawaii at that time. So which is it BHO, ghetto boy plagued by racism, or an over indulged half black kid, dating and hanging with whitey in Hawaii?
Was he suspended from school not once but twice, maybe more, for smoking dope and having stolen property in his wall locker? I feel like throwing up everytime Alfred E. Obama
open’s his mouth.
Meaning he, himself believes the 6 female jurors in this case are racist.
At what point will Obama and the rest of the race hustlers acknowledge that there’s a reason whites (and blacks and Hispanics and Asians) look suspiciously at young black men? The blatant and easily demonstrated truth is that young black men are responsible for a grotesquely disproportionate percentage of the crime in this country. Until the black community is willing to address that issue honestly they can expect the current situation to continue and probably worsen.
Obama wants the ISSUE not the SOLUTION.
Solutions mean there is no job for him.
Where was George Zimmerman 35 years ago!!!
Hegel wept.
from the 15,000+ comments on the Yahoo site, it doesn’t appear that there are many that are buying this crap anymore.
I had a hard time finding a single comment that was pro-Trademark
Yup...those potheads like to stick together.
I'd say he's the kind who robs you with a fountain pen, rather than directly.
I was thinking the other day about this and I have my own little story. I was walking home one day and saw someone’s car in a driveway around the corner from my house, they had a vanity plate that cracked me up so I decided to capture a pic of it. I walked up their driveway to get the pic and by the time I walked back down the driveway their neighbor was on a bee-line to find out what I was up to.
I started laughing and showed him the pic and walked back across the street with him. I admitted that it was a bit fishy of me to go in their driveway, but that I just couldn’t resist. I also thanked him for his diligence!
Nope, I was not offended at his inquiry in the least, I appreciated it. That is the difference between a thug and a regular American, one is offended at such diligence and the other is appreciative.
The President is admitting that he finds the diligence of watchful neighbors to be offensive to him, while his administration spies on every one of us!
.... The problem with all of this race bating is that the Race Industry has been hiding and covering up any positive information attesting to the real character of Mr. George Zimmerman as opposed by the media fabricated one. The more information that gets out there that makes it to the vacant brains of the so called Low Information useless idiot public out there, the better chance that this incident will be subdued .... because ... let's face it ...... they picked the wrong guy to brand a Rabid Racist!!!
There absolutely needs to be a concerted effort to get the information out to the public even if it means spending a few advertising dollars to do so. There needs to be articles and perhaps viral videos and news specials made that tell the actual truth about Zimmerman!!!
..... For instance, unlike the vapid empty headed braindeads out there ... we all know that Zimmerman mentored under privileged black youth and was involved in the community ..... But, Did you all know .... that the evil George Zimmerman forced the investigation, arrest and discipline of a police Lieutenant's son who beat up a black youth ....... How much does America really know about George Zimmerman?
Getting ready for the weekend festivities are we? Build the anger and resentment to a fever pitch and hope the police are forced to provide a further triggering event? The most racist president since Woodrow Wilson encourages lynch mobs.
