President Obama’s remarks today about the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin drew scowls from GOP presidential contender New Gingrich, who called them “disgraceful” and divisive.
“What the president said in a sense is disgraceful. It’s not a question of who that young man looked like,” Gingrich said on Sean Hannity’s radio show.
President Obama today offered a personal reflection on the tragic shooting the Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, saying the incident requires all Americans to “do some soul searching.”
“When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids,” Obama told reporters....
Gingrich said on the radio show: ”Any young American of any ethnic background should be safe period. We should all be horrified no matter what the ethnic background. Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot that would be ok because it didn’t look like him?”
He went added that it’s “just nonsense dividing this country up. It is a tragedy this young man was shot. It would have been a tragedy if he had been Puerto Rican or Cuban or if he had been white or if he had been Asian American of if he’d been a Native American. At some point we ought to talk about being Americans. When things go wrong to an American. It is sad for all Americans.”
Gingrich, a former speaker of the House of Representatives, said: “Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling.”
....“I think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen,” Obama said. ...But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin: If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon

“Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot, that would be OK because it didn’t look like him.”
There’s a hell of a lot more young men that don’t look like him being attacked by those that look like him (Holder’s people). I haven’t heard him make any sanctimonious speeches about them!
Heard Newt on SH’s show - his remarks were spot on.
Three SHTF scenarios keep coming up in my mind for how Obama could avert an election: race riots, economic collapse following another run on the bank, and an EMP attack from Iran launching from Venezuela.
It’s reasonable to expect that he would try the most mild and if it doesn’t work move on to the more extreme. The most mild is race riots.
It’s too early for that to be used to avert elections, but there are a couple reasons this step would be tried now instead of later: it would serve to gin up the black vote in case any were thinking of turning away from Obama. And most importantly, it would also remind people who are thinking about getting on Sheriff Arpaio’s bandwagon regarding Obama’s eligibility problem that it wouldn’t take much to set off race riots. This is a shot across the bow to law enforcement, Congress, and others who might think about trying to enforce the rule of law, just like Andrew Breitbart’s death was a shot across the bow to the media.
Breitbart died and Rush received a bomb scare on the same day as Arpaio’s posse for 2 reasons: to give the media something to talk about besides the posse’s findings, and to remind the media that the threats made against them were very, very real.
There is momentum building regarding Obama’s eligibility so they have to come in with another story to distract people, and like the Breitbart and Rush stories, a story that will give people foreboding regarding what it would mean to cross the Soros/Obama/unions/Islamists machine would serve a double function.
So voila! That’s what they’re working on.
The gal who produced “We Will Not Be Silenced” (about shenanigans in the 2008 dem primary) says top dems told her that Soros had told both Hillary and Obama that he intended to destroy the US, and asked if they were on board with that. Hillary said no, and Obama said yes.
So if we think of all the ways this country could be destroyed, that would pretty much tell us what’s in the Soros/Obama playbook.
And from other things that gal said, breaking a few eggs to make scrambled eggs is - like the death of Brian Terry with F&F guns - mere “collateral damage”. Obama supports the Muslim agenda too much to accept collateral damage when it’s Muslims, but it’s fine when it’s Americans, because the Muslim agenda he said he supports is to destroy the US and Israel and institute worldwide sharia.
No Question necessary.
Obama can’t help insert himself into anything for political and racial exploitation.
What if the kid was white? He wouldn’t have cared, because he was not “looking like his son”?
HAS ANYONE heard of Obama’s comment about the WHITE BOY who has been set on fire by the two BLACK kids???
It’s never nice to take your marbles and go home when the game is the future of the country.
*************
It’s not a game, my friend.
The GOP ruling establishment, the current plutocracy and the socialist Dems constitute a statist oligarchy, wholly antithetical to the Founders America.
Until its undone, America has no future.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FOR THIS CRIME? WHERE IS OBAMA’S COMMENT ON THIS HORRIFIC CRIME?
Two teenagers attacked a 13-year-old WHITE boy and set him on fire with gasoline in what police in Missouri are investigating as a possible hate crime. Police said that both suspects are BLACK.
If it were the other way around, Obama would be running his mouth on TV already.
“Newt’s TOTALLY SPOT ON! What Obama said was completely racist! It’s about WHAT happened, not WHAT RACE it happened to.
Dang...I keep wishin’ he were doing better in the polls!”
Likewise! No other candidate comes close to his ability to accurately analyze and articulate virtually any issue.

The eighth grader was walking home from Kansas City’s East High School around 3 p.m. last Tuesday when he noticed two older teens following him, KMBC reports.
“And they rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open,” the boy’s mother Melissa Coontold KCTV. “One of them poured the gasoline, then flicked the lighter, and said,’This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy’.”
At this point it is all speculation. There's a lot of racial-hatred and race-baiting going on which I can only speculate is to stir up the masses for the upcoming election...
A thorough investigation is needed and law enforcement must be llowed to do their job! Politicians need to stay the hell out of it!
I'm disgusted by this...
I think Obama shouldn’t have addressed it.
It’s putting all the pretty ribbons on the race-riot dress.
At the same time... Zimmerman had called police over 40 times that year complaining usually about black people in the neighborhood.
The police told him to stop following.
I don’t at ALL see Zimmerman as some hero. He was, in my opinion, an idiot police wannabe ...

Hussein’s goal is to turn the clock back on race relations by 300 years. He’s succeeded.
“ZerO will bomb Iran before there is a debate. He will claim he is much too important to the war effort to debate.”
That is exactly what Putin just did and the kenyan will do the same if it suits him.
Newt is absolutely right! Bowbama sticks his nose (and ears) where it doesn't belong. Bowbama fueling racial tensions! Let's see how this shakes out. Could be a lot of egg on the face of Bowbama, Sharpton and Jackson...racists all!
Go Newt! We need you now more than ever!

If you think Obama signing what amounts to a martial law EO and this case are not a coordinated event, you should sit back and suck a gun barrel.
Obama gets it wrong... again. He should have thought about Zimmerman being like himself. Zimmerman is half white and half hispanic. Half and half like Obama. Of course Obama wants to play the race card for votes and compare a black punk to his kids. When a muslim soldier went on a killing spree, Obama didn't compare the victims to his kids, he just said don't rush to judgement. He is so full of b.s.
nobama definitely has set back “nobama relations”...the racist puts.
