Barack Obama: Trayvon Martin wasn't perfect
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 8//7/13 | Hal Boedeker

Posted on 08/07/2013 5:15:54 PM PDT by Nachum

President Barack Obama discussed Edward Snowden, the health care law, Hillary Clinton and Russia during a Tuesday visit to "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno." But Obama´s comments about the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin had special local interest. George Zimmerman was acquitted last month of murder in the teen´s death in Sanford. Some Americans have criticized Obama previously for commenting on the issue, but Leno said that the president had spoken eloquently and from the heart about Trayvon´s death. "I think all of us were troubled by what happened," Obama told Leno.

Obama-”I think all of us were troubled by what happened”

Why yes indeed Mr. President, “we” are all indeed “troubled” by the media and political circus that you and your supportive media cast and assorted political minions created and then used, to persecute and wrongfully prosecute an innocent man, under color of law.

I'm sure Obama gets a daily morning briefing from the NSA that attempts to measure just how “troubled” the vast majority of USA citizens are about just about everything.
The “chatter” levels have risen to dangerous levels, right?

Oh look over there!
There are dangerous terrorists in Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Florida, Syria, Iran, Texas,Russia, North Korea, China, Mexico, ...Thank goodness there are none in Washington DC !

Obama danced around the issue. He should be trying to explain that even if you think Trayvon did “not get justice”, that the letter of the law was followed.

He is straddling two mindsets.

Only Obama would think he has any business commenting on Trayvon’s worth as a person, now negative as well as positive comments. In effect he now is calling Trayvon a criminal.

It’s all inappropriate.

"...it doesn't mean Trayvon was a perfect kid, none of us were...when you're a teenager, especially a teenage boy, you're gonna mess up."

Drugs, booze, burglary, thugging, foul chip-on-shoulder attitude, misogyny, beating up strangers, MMA fighting, truancy, guns. Odd, but I don't remember that sort of "messing up" when I was a teenager.

Might it have something to do with Democrat destruction of the black family?

Nah. Surely not.

Slither back to your stinking Cook County hole, you despicable race-bating divisive SOB.

"I think all of us were troubled by what happened," Obama told Leno.

Obastard sure does like to bandy that "all of us" line around. "We all know Globull Warming is real." "Everybody agrees Obastardcare is swell." "All of us were troubled by what happened" to St. Skittles. To hear him tell it, nobody ever disagrees with this pr**k.

Yeah, Obastard, I'm troubled about it too, but not for the same reason as you, slick.

I'm pretty sure Obastard and I don't exactly see eye-to-eye on the meaning of the word "conversation."

I’m sick of the word. It’s from their community organization lexicon and usually signals a strategy for getting into my pockets or business.

Indeed; and too late as well. They must have done polling; and the heartbeat of the 'collective Left' goes up; when whenever Zero mentions Trayvon. . .the hapless thug Obama could have been -instead of the pro; Obama is today.

He may not be perfect but he’s sure a lot better now than he was in January, 2012.

LOL. . .and 'Amen'; for closure.

“Conversation” means “I’ll lecture you about what you will think then ask you to contribute something.” “Ask” is in the same sense as “We’re going to ask the rich to pony up more taxes, under threat of jail if they refuse.”

Where I’m from, a conversation has two participants. Obastard is not, nor ever has been interested in a “conversation.” Neither is that outlaw AG of his.

Barry the Boob: "And so what I'm trying to do is just make sure that we have a conversation and that were all asking ourselves, Are there some things we can do to foster better understanding?"

Hey, Barry...I got yer "understanding" hangin' right heah, pal. It goes like this: If you don't attempt to murder the neighborhood watch captain, you probably won't get shot.

Exactly. You put it better than I could. It’s like ‘gun control.’ Their consuming interest in a conversation on the topic has very little to do with guns and an overarching interest in control.
Most of the country would like a conversation, I think, on the topic of Chicago gang violence and minorities and ‘stop-and-frisk’. This is a “conversation” that will never take place.
“Conversation.” It’s like the James Taylor song : “Love is just a word that’s heard when things are being said.” It’s just Barry doing what he does best: gassing.

If Saint.. Skittles had lived a couple more years, he would be doing twenty in the federal pen.

Even obozo admits that young black men commit more crimes and are more violence-prone than other teens.

Why does he not understand that my RIGHT of self protection demands that I watch these people more carefully than I watch others.

If they don’t like being watched, clean up there behavior and wait a few years.
