I know Pat Buchanan. I campaigned for him here in Louisiana in 1996. There’s no doubts he’s got his faults and baggage.

But when he sets pen to paper, he’s as good as it gets.

They have a whiteboard, and five obsessions on that board: Latinos, women, college kids, union members, and blacks. With this formula....you will win (as spoken by the experts within the team). So anything that occurs....that has consequences over the election....there is an immediate statement made. As silly as you or I think of these statements....they support the core group.

The common strategy of simply dealing with topics....won’t work for his election campaign...because there just aren’t alot of positives to chat about.

What Obama says or does in this case won`t have any effect on him politically.

The huge majority within the foggy-headed American electorate have no idea he made the Trayvon Martin comment.

it is about destroying the constitution and specifically the 2nd amendment. ...that and stimulating zer0bama base, both his racial base and the Marxist elements.

He thinks that black solidarity of voting for the Dems will outweigh the number of Latinoes and whites who may not vote for him this time around because of this.

This went "viral" as the result of coverage by a local TV station. The Negro leaders jumped on it before they quite realized that young Trayvon of the Hoodie and Gold Teeth was not quite all one might want in a martyr.

Then the Mulatto in Charge jumped in with the "Son" comment, when depending upon to whom he was married, his "Son" might look like anyone, including the two English tourists who were butchered by a Negro in Miami. His mother and grandmother look like the woman who was butchered by Negroes in Oklahoma. Who knows what his "Son" might look like. To white voters with half-a-brain (talk about minority groups!) he looks like a fool.

Holder jumped in. He is vowing justice for Zimmerman, but strangely ignoring the violent threats from the New Black Panthers, and praising Al Sharpton.

To answer your question: Yes, Obama is stupid. But no, his handlers on Team Obama are not. It got away from them, but they will spin it back into control. If the election were tomorrow, they would win it.

5-dollar gas, 10%+ real unemployment, insane economic and energy policies, high taxes, etc. mean nothing to Obama's base in the big electoral vote states. That base has already decided Zimmerman's fate, and if we are not very careful, ours, too.

If you're referring to Obama's personal comments that he improperly inserted into the situation, I had a slightly different take on that aspect of things

So many things have happened during this singularly ugly and destructive Presidency which, when combined, suggest a slightly different reason, at least to me. 

I'm becoming more and more of the opinion that it's simply a matter of Obama shooting from the hip, and his advisors either not being bright enough regarding diplomacy and forming their message to talk him out of doing these things or unwilling to, for whatever reason.  A man-child as narcissistic and  arrogant as Obama is must be absolutely awful to work with on a day-to-day basis, even for someone who shares his extreme ideology, and his policy yes-men may be cowering in fear of losing their lucrative jobs.....or being labeled 'racist' for daring to question him, as is the normal procedure his lackeys have employed for dealing with members of the public who dare disagree.

Obama has said so many breathtakingly un-Presidential things and spoken improperly so many times that I simply have a hard time believing that much of what he says is the product of a serious team's serious counsel.  I believe that he honestly feels he is far smarter than his advisors and rarely consults them.  Nothing he's said or done suggests to me that such a frightening scenario isn't exactly what's occurring......he is THAT childish and THAT arrogant.  He thinks that he can bully the Supreme Court, for Goodness sakes

I cannot comment on if Obama is actively involved with promoting this issue but at the very least while its viral its taking attention away from the issues of him being illegally in control of America.

Events like this will happen every week, its all about smoke in a house of mirrors.

Its a Communist thing.

The prosecutors must have discovered new evidence to indict for murder.

Team Obama (and Obama) wants a race war. So does the UN, to insert its control. It’s been done before.

"Is Team Obama that stupid, or did this just get away from them?"

A more fitting term would be "arrogant." The smarest guy in the room and his cohorts are about to be schooled. This is a "Law and Order" issue (think 1968). Between this and 2nd Amendment issues, these clowns have locked their lips around the Third Rail of American politics. Bon appetit!

The problem the liberals have with this is that hispanics may begin to identify with Zimmerman. Look at this guy. If Pancho Villa had a son, he would look like Jorge Zimmerman.

If the latino community embraces Zimmerman as one of their own, and I’m betting they will as we learn more of him, then this is an even bigger blunder for liberals than the Hilary Rosen/Ann Romney kerfuffle. If they take offense to his being railroaded, then all the votes gained by pandering to blacks will be nullified and then some.

Hispanics in America have always had an uneasy coexistence with blacks. If there’s violence associated with this thing, it’s my bet that it will be between blacks and hispanics, not blacks and whites.

"Obama also implied that he shares the liberal perspective that America is a country where black kids must walk in daily fear of white racist vigilantes. "

While most Americans walk in fear of the Black feral (often hooded) youts who are ALWAYS on the prowl for easy victims.

Correction:
America is a country where whites must walk in daily fear of black racist mobs!!!

America is a country where whites are called racists if they defend their person, home or property against harm from blacks!!!

What an irrelevant conclusion.

Nothing is going to happen. Zimmerman guilty or innocent, there will be chest puffing on this side or the other, but the blacks arent going to change their vote or feelings about an “oppressive” America. The Hispanic vote wont change. There’ll be no tidal wave of votes to one side or the other regardless of what happens to Zimmerman. Whites, the same thing. How many times should America have gone “this way” or “that way” because of the behavior or stupid utterance of this person or that person, white or black, liberal or conservative, poor or rich, celebrity or common guy? We always think a slip of the tongue is going to send the polls reeling in favor or against a political figure or party. Voter shenanigans, obamacare, black panther threats, crushing debt, gay marriage, it goes on and on and on. Each time one of these topics comes to the forefront we expect the left to crumble yet it grinds on, making mincemeat of America. We have a socialist president in power and the best the right can do is put up Mitt Romney? That suggests one of two things- America is not the conservative nation Rush and others say it is or the fix is in from the top and we are all screwed.

And how will the rest of America react to that reaction?

I don't know how the rest of America will react, but I'm reacting by buying a LOT more ammo.

And if Zimmerman, Trayvon, race, guns and stand-your-ground become voting issues this fall, how good is that for Barack Obama?

I just read that it is very unlikely that the trial will be held in 2012. How convenient for Obama.

how will black leaders and black America react if Zimmerman walks?

I'm sure they will accept it graciously.... just like an NBA Championship loss, or win.

"All of us have to do some soul-searching to figure out how does something like this happen. And that means that we examine the laws and the context for what happened, as well as the specifics of the incident." Translation: The death of Trayvon tells us something is wrong with America.

To most Americans, this is a slander against their country, refuted by the statistics on interracial crime. Obama, however, buys into it.

One more reason blacks and members of the MSM need to learn math... they really don't understand the truth - they don't 'get' numbers - like: over 90% of blacks are killed by other blacks. NOT by whites. (For members of the MSM that means 9 out of 10 blacks are killed by other blacks)
