REPORTERS: Whoa!

Q: Hello.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: That’s so -- that’s so disappointing, man. Jay, is this kind of -- the kind of respect that you get? (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You know, on -- on -- on television it usually looks like you’re addressing a full room.

Q: (Laughs.) It’s just a mirage.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: All right.

Thanks for the link-—I was unaware of this case but now I have a rebuttal to all the nonsense that is going around.

What was The One’s opinion when this verdict came down?

Just wondering. When is there going to be an investigation into the stolen jewelry that was found in Trayvon’s possession? Where did this child get his marijuana ,how did he pay for it, was he a dealer? His texts indicate that he was in an illegal fighting club. I think this needs to be resolved.
