"...as if it was Obama who trained generations of cops to view young black men as suspects..."

Was Mr. Zimmerman a white cop or an Hispanic neighborhood watchman?

Marc Levin had a good take on this whole thing and he asked some obvious questions. First off, the president as chief law enforcement officer has no business commenting on an ongoing investigation. So why is he weighing in?

If Obama knows this guy is guilty than why do we even need the trial?

Again, we have another "teachable moment". Why? What makes this case different from all the rapes and murders committed on a daily bases that don't get this national attention. The only people involved in this crime were Zimmerman, the murder victim and maybe the neighborhood watch, so why do we all as a nation need to do all this "soul searching" and have a "conversation about race"? The country didn't kill the kid, one man did.

If 0blahblah should say anything it should be along the lines of "It's an ongoing case so I have no comment at this time. Let's wait until the facts are all in." and "I would urge the individuals trying to politicize this case to cease and desist. The last thing we need is for more people to get hurt. Thank You and God Bless America."

That's what a statesman would say as opposed to a hack community organizer!!!

In my view, this is due more to the specific elements of Trayvon’s story than to whatever progress we might have made since, say, the Bernhard Goetz shootings, or the Rodney King verdict, or the O.J. Simpson trial.

Of course we avoided that, because we found out Zimmerman wasn't white. Although we saw the usual suspects playing the race card when we thought he was white, now I think they're confused because the suspect is from Peru.

geez this is unfreaking believeable... CNN is having a ONE HOUR SPECIAL on “The Trayvon Killing” (I am amazed they had the restraint to avoid saying ‘murder’)

Obama, whose-mom-doesn’t-look-like-Trayvon’s, was quick to call Sandra Fluke, who, if had a daughter would-look-like-Nancy-Pelosi.

When will America’s first post racial president who-doesn’t-look like-any-of-the-presidents-on-our-money, call Trayvon’s mom-who-doesn’t-look-like Cameron Diaz?

What the latest on yesterday’s Durham NC murders , by the suspect described as,”6’2” and looking like Obama , if he had a son”?

No descriptions of any of the victims.

You will now see a political alliance between whites and Latinos.

The Latinos are licking their lips.

Wrong. Zimmerman, ethnicity aside, is most certainly “white”.

Did this writer miss the part where Obama sat in Rev Wright’s church for 20 years. That should disqualify anyone from being taken seriously to comment on race.

I dunno. What I read was Z’s dad is Jewish and his Mom is from Peru, which might mean she is of Spanish and Native-American heritage. That’s all.

Since when is Dad Jewish, or German, or whatever Zimmerman is, and a Mom, from Peru, likely part Spanish part Native American not “white”?

Dear Major Garret,
When you get done interviewing Obama do you spit or swallow?

he must read FR.

There was actually a more direct quote, something "the most irresponsible remark ever made by a sitting president", but I can't find it.

If the poor dead kid looked like Biden’s real son rather than Obama’s imaginary kid, would the event be less tragic? Nearly all of the 10 killed in the Chicago St Pat’s weekend slaughter looked like ficticious Obama sons. Are their deaths any less tragic because their killers also looked like imaginary Obama offspring? One Chicago victim was an innocent 6 year old Mexican American girl killed by an errant bullet meant for a rival gang member. That seems pretty tragic to me. But the national media has ignored it.

It’s about Zimmerman being Jewish and the muzzies want to behead him. If his last name was Hussien, this would get no air time.

What? Most Latinos certainly don't consider their selves to be “white”.

If I had a son that had been suspended from school...I damned sure wouldn’t allow him out to wander around a neighborhood that he didn’t even live in. And I sure as hell would have known if he didn’t return from “the store” after a freaking hour...instead of waiting until the next morning to report him missing.

There’s much more to this story than is being told....

OBVIOUSLY.
