President Obama, during a brief Rose Garden press conference meant to announce his nominee for World Bank president, ventured into the high-intensity controversy over the unarmed black teenager fatally shot in Florida -- calling the case a "tragedy" and saying if he had a son, "he'd look like Trayvon."

The death of Trayvon Martin, 17, is now under investigation by the Justice Department and FBI. Obama, asked about the case Friday, noted that he doesn't want to interfere with the probe being led by his attorney general, Eric Holder. But he made clear that he empathizes deeply with the parents in the case, and called for investigators to "get to the bottom" of what happened.

Obama was very quick to call when a young promiscuous white college girl needed comforting.

When will Obama call Trayvon’s mom?

Trayvon’s mom doesn’t look like Obama’s is why he doesn’t call her.

“If I Had A Son He’d Look Like Trayvon”

Considering Bubba Clinton’s history in Arkansas, he could say the same thing and would be credible for the first time in his life.

Is Trayvon a half-White bastard child from Kenya with no father? Then he wouldn't be Obama’s son. He would be Obama’s clone.

Tragic as it may have been, the death of this young man is not unique, young black kids kill each other by the hundreds every year.

What is troubling is that the left now has their Horst Wessel to rally around and a prop for more gun control, civil unrest and possible full out rioting. The usual suspects are already fanning the flames and blaming everyone but the shooter.

We don't know all the facts yet so you would have think Obama would have learned something from:

I live in Pittsburgh .... few days go by when the morning news doesn't report a shooting overnight. Most times the victim is a young black male .... sometimes wearing a hoodie, and many times he is found lying dead in the street. In cases where the shooter is identified he is invariably black. I am certain there are many cities in the country where this occurs. I can't recall a single time that President Hussein has expressed concern.

Well of course, that’s just plain ol’ black-on-black crime. Can’t exploit that, without ticking off the Black Community.

Only white-on-black incidents can used as a club against Whitey - that’s Team Obama’s strategy to motivate minorities.

Hmmmm ..... BTW ..... wasn’t this the guy who, when running in 08, promised to HEAL the country’s racial divisions?!

(ya right!!!)

How blatant of Zero. Race baiting, flame fanning.

This from the post-racial president?

I’d love for a reporter to ask Obama if he thinks hispanics have a racial bias against blacks.

While Geraldo blames the tragic death of Trayvon Martin on his mode of dress, I believe there is another element that the MSM will studiously ignore.

Barack Obama has done more to divide this nation along racial lines than anything I can remember. “African Americans for Obama”, “Hispanics for Obama,” “Martians for Obama”, etc., etc... are just part of it. This guy’s efforts to take us the rest of the way to communism have angered many of those who may already harbor latent or outright racist tendencies.

While Obama’s anti-American behavior has little to do with his race, there are unbalanced folks out here who DO read race into that behavior. Once they cross that threshold, their warped minds can justify nearly any act, up to and including the killing of an unarmed black boy walking through his neighborhood. I fear there is more — and worse — to come.

Barack, some of Trayvon Martin’s blood — and the blood of future black and white victims of your racism — is on YOUR hands.

As a world famous legal expert and Constitutional law professor, I’m sure O can see the parallels between Zimmerman’s treatment by the lynch mobs which will undoubtedly surround his trial and that experienced by Leo Frank in 1915 in Georgia. Zimmerman can no more get a fair trial than could Frank. Race or ethnicity is again brought into play. The mob in Frank’s case hated Jews, in Zimmerman’s they hate whites. If Zimmerman is freed, will he be lynched like Frank?

Bingo! Hundreds die in Chicago alone from gunshots, rapes, stabbings, etc. and Obama remains silent.

A Latino with an Anglo name kills a 6’2 black football player and ... Horst Wessel.

Obama can’t have a son. Not with Michelle biting the pillows.

OBAMA, IF YOU HAD A MOTHER, WOULD SHE LOOK LIKE NANCY STRAIT?

White 85 year old partially blind Nancy Strait was robbed, tortured, raped and beaten to death just the other day in Oklahoma by a gang of feral blacks.

Her 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten, his jaw broken, shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

.

While the Zimmerman ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by ‘African Americans’ in Oklahoma just the other day?

WHY NO MENTION ON THE MSM??
WHY DOES IT TAKE THE BRITS TO BRING THIS NEWS TO US??

.

There’s a lot more here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with BB gun?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Where is the 24/7 MSM coverage

Where is the outrage?
