President Obama weighed in Friday on the shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, calling it a national tragedy - and saying that the young man reminded him of his own children.
"When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids," Obama said in Rose Garden remarks. "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 pull together."
Obama has come under fire from some black leaders for failing to comment on a case that has become a major national story — and brought thousands of Americans into the streets for demonstrations calling for the arrest of Martin's shooter. One black leader even wondered why Obama called a Georgetown student who was attacked by Rush Limbaugh, but not Martin's family. Obama's comments Friday represent the first time the president has addressed the growing controversy.

If Obama had a son, he would be sending him all around the world on vacation with 25 or more secret service agents.
ROFL!!!!
Once again, and as always... Obama makes it all about himself.
My father-n-law used to tell one of his daughters - not my wife- that she was born when two box cars bumped together and she shot out of a hobo’s butt.
Or, like that Secret Service guy that was rumored to be having an affair with the first wookie.
He is able to make any and every situation about himself.
This one exposes a little discussed aspect of his sociopathic personality though. I suspect he framed it this
way(his son would look like this) because of his self-loathing of his white half.
No, Hussein .... he’d look more like Richard Simmons.
Or Larry Sinclair. A son from 0bama would surely be a big-time femme.
I’m sick of this guy. Really sick of him. I hope the country is too. If he wants to see what his son would look like he should look at Michelle.
As someone who does not read papers, magazines or watch television, when I heard about this, I have deliberately kept my mind open about it.
Not that anyone in the MSM will give the video account any creedence. I don’t give it FULL credence, but I think it is a voice to be heard.
“And if we had a president instead of a race baiter, he’d look nothing like Obama.”
I'll bet it is the Tea Party behind those "death threats".
Hey, stop telling the truth!
Hm. That guy in the video speaking “anonymously” better watch his backside for those death threat uttering Tea Partyers.
Naaah! . . . ears aren't big enough.
If. If. If.
If only there weren’t a Constitution. If only there weren’t a Congress. If only there weren’t a SCOTUS. If only there weren’t typical white religious rural gun-loving bitter conservatives. If only he were king.
Amish “Hoodies”
“Please on Nov 6, 2012 relieve us of
this abomination. Thank you Lord. Amen”
AMEN! Please, God, please.
OMG LOLOLOLOLOL.
Remember the James Byrd, Jr. ad that the NAACP ran during Bush's first Presidential campaign? It was narrated by his daughter who insinuated that the election of Bush would be like reliving the dragging death of her father all over again.
