I think we're well on our way to that.

Amongst other things. IMO this is a perfect distraction. The global economy is in complete shambles. We hit another borrowing limit by September-October right when the election reaches it's climax.

It's a perfect storm. It was absolutely disgusting how Obama played top narcissist and crowbarred his opinion on this case.

And our only option to him is Romney? I want to leave the country but there are no safe and affordable alternatives.

What nonsense. Obama was in a rose garden press conference and he was asked to comment directly by the press. His comment was respectful of the young dead boy, didn't slam Zimmerman, gave sympathy to the family for their loss, and acknowledges the reality that "walking while young male and black" is still a crime in some places.

Wow gives me comfort that our president convicts Zimmerman without a trial.

Flashback: "The Cambridge Police acted stupidly..."

This is not the first time the president convicted someone in advance of any formal proceedings.

He didn't do that. Why are you commenting on something you clearly didn't even listen to? Stop it.

Hardly the nonsense some are pretending Obama said. Ridiculous.

President Obama: Trayvon Martin case a ‘tragedy’
By Lesley Clark

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama spoke out Friday on the Trayvon Martin shooting for the first time, calling the incident a “tragedy” and invoking his own children.

“I can only imagine what these parents are going through,” the president said, adding that he couldn’t help but think about his daughters. “I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this.

“My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin,” he added. “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon. I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves and we’re going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.”

The president said he was pleased to hear that Florida Gov. Rick Scott has appointed a task force to look into the incident.

“I think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen,”

Noting that his attorney general is looking into the case, the president prefaced his remarks by saying it was important he was not “impairing any investigation that’s taking place right now.”

Obama’s remarks came as he stood in the Rose Garden to introduce his new choice for the president of the World Bank.

They were his first remarks on the incident. The White House earlier in the week noted it was a “local” event.

He didn't do that at all. Not even close. I don't know if he even mentioned Zimmerman. As I said, "didn't slam Zimmerman at all". You might listen to it.
