In this case, it's Obama who needs Zimmerman tried and acquitted. That will give our first Muslim President (who is playing radical liberal leftist) the riots and burning this summer that he needs to get re-elected.
1. It will get the attention off the depression era economy
2 It will get his base energized. The majority of the racists who voted for Obama the first time (such as Colin Powell) will forget that he is the one bringing economic chaos to our country.
3 The vast majority of Americans can't even comprehend that our first traitor as President is destroying the US on purpose. As Americans smile at the notion Obama is a traitor working for Muslims, Obama smiles because he knows Americans really are the biggest fools in history.
Obama will not get reelected if there is widespread rioting. Doesn’t work that way.
Zimmerman has now become a political pawn. His guilt or innocence is no longer the question. He will now be sacrificed to appease Holder's people's blood lust.
