A lot has been made about the hoodie lately. Not only has Geraldo partially blamed it for the death of Trayvon Martin, but it’s also become a symbol of unity for standing with the slain teen and his family.

So when the Obama camp announced via Twitter yesterday that it was putting its 2012 hoodies on sale, it got some thinking: Is the President trying to capitalize off the death of Martin?

On Monday, the Obama2012 Twitter account sent out this message:

Maybe Obama will campaign in a hoodie, with Kanye West by his side.

Is J Crew making some for the obama girls?

Are moochelle’s fave designers firing up their hispanic sweat shops in central america to make $60 gangsta hoodies?

“It appears to be that he was shot by a racist,” Glenn said, “Things are coming out now and phone recordings, et cetera, et cetera, and the guy looks like he just killed this kid, maybe because he’s a racist.”
“It looks like this kid was killed in cold blood. So, justice needs to be done.”

Glenn has really changed his take on the story since last week. This week it’s “Let’s not rush to judgement.” Very disappointing. No difference between what he said and what jackson, sharpton and farakhan said. You lost a listener Glenn.

Hannity was trying to pull the same about face today. Contemptible.

Wow! What a great idea!

Hey, maybe they oughta print some of Trayvon's more romantic tweets on the back for the world to see.

You can go to the dailycaller.com website to see them for yourself.

They're too mushy to print here.

Oh, come off it. You Obama haters always be jumpin' to conclusions don't you?

Where do you possibly get the idea that Obama would intentionally try to politicize this heinous crime for his own political benefit.

Ummmm....I mean other than the t-shirts they put on the backs of the seats at the Gabby Giffords non-memorial. You know. The ones that had the same slogan as Obama's 2008 website, "Together We Thrive".

It's sick that anyone would try to profit from this kids death. Leave it to the liberals to find a way. If this is really true that Obama is coming out with hoodie sales now it is truly disgusting.

The other day when the dad and mother were giving a public speech both Sharpton and Jackson were trying to wiggle into the screenshot. These two are the number one example of race baiting in today's society.

He has capitalised on the deaths of over a million of the unborn, why not capitalise on one dead hoody wearing black kid?.

While driving home from work earlier this evening, the number of youths wearing hoodies that I observed was staggering. I don’t remember seeing even a single youth without the hoodie.
