'Moved' Barack Obama says murdered black boy Trayvon Martin could have been him 35 years ago

Obama said that race may have played a strong role in the case had it been a 'white male teen', both the outcome and the aftermath of the killing might have been different.

The US president Barack Obama has reportedly addressed the Trayvon Martin case publically for the first time after George Zimmerman was acquitted a week ago, and said that he could relate to the ‘pain’ felt by the black community and further questioned the ‘stand-your-ground’ laws.

According to the Fox News, Trayvon Martin was a Florida teen who was shot dead in February 2012 while unarmed. Obama said that race may have played a strong role in the case had it been a ‘white male teen’, both the outcome and the aftermath of the killing might have been different.

Obama used highly personal comments and said that Martin could have been him 35 years ago and aimed his comments to put the angst in the black community in ‘context’.

The report said that the ‘stand-your-ground’ laws allow people to use lethal force if they feel threatened, even if they might have the option of retreating.

Obama lies. The outcome would have been a hell of a lot better for Trayvon had he simply kept his fists to himself. Trayvon was the aggressor here. Zimmerman had no option of backing away while Trayvon was sitting on him trying to bash his brains out on the concrete.

Obama: "I just ask people to consider if Trayvon Martin was of age and armed, could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk?"

0bama thinks; If someone follows you you can shoot them.

0bama thinks; If someone jumps you and pounds your head on the sidewalk you can't shoot them.

That mind-numbingly stupid logic brought to you by the President of the United States.

Beam me up, Scotty!

On the plus side: Zero is admitting that he’s a racist skin color obssessed punk thug who gets his jollies off on beating people.

Remember, Obama urged his followers to bring guns to knife fights. Obama is nothing but a blood thirsty communist thug.

These are the ones responsible for their sons death...they knew the path he was on and continued to shield him and protect him from that he was choosing to do to himself...he was a minor and they could have prevented this whole ordeal long ago.

Jim, for all we really know about him, even now, he could have exhibited all of those symptoms 35 years ago, and may still be a serial something-or-another, (aside from a serial liar}, in the DC community as we type! jus sayin’.. :)

Trayvon Martin could have been him 35 years ago...


NO WAY! Trayvon grew up to be a thug and criminal but he didn’t lower himself to be a COMMUNIST.

He stole peoples property...........NOT THEIR FREEDOM LIKE OBAMA!

We don’t have a president, we have a biased community organizer who was and is too small a person to be POTUS. It’s not his race, it’s his small, biased mind. Reading commentary from the protests today, people in the crowd said they felt emboldened by his “superlative” leadership in speaking from an entirely black perspective yesterday. As POTUS and THe Great Uniter, he was supposed to bring us together and speak from an entirely American perspective which would not soundly exclude the man (and his family) whom the courts legally found innocent of a committing a crime. With his comments, Obama condems a man the courts found innocent, and he uses the podium of the POTUS to do it. If harm comes to Zimmerman, Obama is partially responsible - that is his leadership at work.

0bama did his best to make Chicago look like Detroit...

Obama's "community organizing" left Chicago neighborhoods in ruins.

Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy

"About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition."
