Obama: 'If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon'
politico ^ | 3/23/12 | BYRON TAU

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.

Might be more to this story than all the static would indicate:

My late father used to tell me (mostly when I’d done or said something REALLY stupid - which was pretty often) that he was not my father. He said a crow crapped me on a stump and the sun hatched me.

With that said, has anyone seen Sasha and Malia’s birth certificate? So, I’m guessing no paperwork for any son either! LOL

Plus, for him to have a son wouldn’t that mean he would need to impregnate the Wookie? Obama is not my president, can’t stand any politico from Chicago for that matter. But, even I wouldn’t wish for anyone to have sex with the Wookie. Ye Gods, the very thought of it sends chills down my spine!

If Obama had a son who looked like Trayvon, it means that Obama wouldn’t be the father.

"You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon"

You know, if I had a cat, the contents of its litter box would look like Obama.

Yes, they’ve got their campaign issue. Now, just keep the witnesses silent and lose the 911 tape.

Obama: If I had a son he’d be a 6’2 football player trying to kill someone named Zimmerman.

We already knew that, Mr. President.

Listed on Craig’s List:

Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked very hard. Apparently it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn’t work very often, but when it does it can really spread the manure and sling it for amazing distances.  I am hoping to retire this manure spreader next November. But I really don’t want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer that is willing to relocated this manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade this manure spreader for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution

Here we go indeed. They believe they’ve found in Trayvon their 2012 campaign theme. Race put them over the top in 2008. For 2012, it will be race, and waving its bloody red shirt, with the MSM and Hollywood in full throat.

This community activist weighs in on anything
that ever smells like racism he just can’t help himself.
I am 70 yrs old and I have memory of any of
our previous presidents ever jumping into social issues
like this clown does. Please on Nov 6, 2012 relieve us of
this abomination. Thank you Lord. Amen

This is one very,very stupid man. He sticks his head in the Fluke case and is still reeling trying to hide from Bristol Palin and now he goes and does the same thing. What an ignorant cluck.

Interesting that the media keeps referring to the very brown shooter as “white/hispanic”.

Obama already has the black vote, so its curious that he is going after hispanics like this. I wonder if he has seen a picture of the shooter, or is just thinking “whitey.
