Obama Taking His Family to Selma; Remembers Trayvon Martin at WH Event

(CNSNews.com) - "Next week, Michelle and I and the girls will be traveling to Selma to pay tribute, not just as a president or a first lady or as African Americans, but as Americans -- to those who changed the course of history at the Edmund Pettus Bridge," President Obama told a gathering at the White House on Thursday.

Obama mentioned the "legends and giants of the civil rights movement" as well as "the countless American heroes" who aren't named in the history books, all of whom marched and sang and organized "to change this country for the better."

He also thanked Trayvon Martin's parents for attending the White House reception marking African-American History Month: "Today, on the third anniversary of Trayvon Martin's death, showing all of our kids -- all of them -- every single day that their lives matter, that's part of our task," the president said.

Three days ago, President Obama's Justice Department announced that it would not file federal civil rights charges against the man who says he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense.

During Thursday's event at the White House, Obama noted that "progress in this nation happens only because seemingly ordinary people find the courage to stand up for what is right. Not just when it's easy, but when it's hard. Not just when it's convenient, but when it's challenging."

How does he “remember” a young thug that he never met?

“How does he “remember” a young thug that he never met?”

He doesn’t and couldn’t give a damn. It just makes good copy.

Obama already lied about being born after Selma. Everything this bastard says is false.

NONE of the legends and giants of the civil rights movement would anything except outraged and horrified to be associated with a punk like Martin, and you can take that to the bank.

showing all of our kids -- all of them -- every single day that their lives matter,

Barack Obama didn't think that kids who survived an abortion mattered. Thought it was good policy to let them die gasping for air for hours unattended in a hospital utility closet.

He’s a racist communist POS.

The domestic marxists have gone too far and will be decimated.

The purge and revenge will begin on 1/20/17.

Is there any doubt that King Obama is a black racist.

Wonder if he hoped the young thug whooped the white boys a$$?

Cares nothing about American history unless it is civil rights history.
