There is no way Obama could have been like Travon 35 years ago. I bet Obama is as good at street fighting as he is at basketball.

That would have been a good exchange. If Trayvon had lived a full life he never could have been as evil as BO!

Two big differences as I see it:

1 - Trayvon never smoked anywhere near the amount of dope Onbama smoked (and still smokes)

2 - Obama wouldn’t have hit Zimmerman - He always has someone else do his dirty work

That’s right. Every time he opens his mouth he makes things worse no matter what the situation. Never seen anything like it.

no one else is willing to, especially those in DC who we've so foolishly entrusted to do the right thing for the country.

If Obama thought he was being followed by a cracka pervert, he would have spun around in a friendly manner and invited said pervert for a little crack and a limo ride.

When I heard Barry Soetoro say that, something crossed my mind but I’ll refrain my excitement.

Jesse Jackson said a few years ago, “There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

Well - Ohomo could have decided to attack a Hispanic man out of racial hatred and gotten his butt shot, had he not been too busy getting stoned.

This could merely be a reference to more forged credentials - SSN's, passports, financial aid documents - could have been anything.
