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 I had a son he'd look like Trayvon.

I don't think Trayvon is looking too good right now. And things are only going to deteriorate.

[Joe 6-pack]

Would his son have a birth certificate?

‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon’,...

“If you don’t vote for 0bama, you approve of the killing of Trayvon Martin.... you might as well have pulled the trigger yourself, you racist.”

"'If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon'"

Pardon me for rudely interrupting your shameless and condescending pandering, Obama, but I'm compelled to ask:

What in the F**K are you talking about? I don't even know what that means. Idiot.

Obama: 'If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon'

Race-baiting pandering doesn't get any more blatant than this.

[old school]

Now do you see what you dumb-asses, who voted for Obama, have done to us!?

[Don Corleone]

Let no crisis go to waste. What a classless piece of excrement. Anything to try for political advantage.

“if they bring a knife, you bring a gun . . “

typical Obama 3rd world thuggery and race-baiting.

Those classified college transcripts must show all A’s for his Critical Race Theory classes.

The canonization of “Trayvon the Martyr” has begun. There will be a day laid aside in his honor soon...

"When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids," Obama said in Rose Garden remarks

And that's why I let my daughter go to the crime -ravaged country of Mexico.

Aw, you kinda beat me to it. I was going to say "he'd look like Damien".

He’d probably be an ignoramus like his dad too.
