The president jumps into the Trayvon Martin controversy without all the facts being known, essentially calling for the shooter to be arrested and convicted, and yet it is GOP cadidates criticizing the president who are "reprehensible" according to Obama advisor David Plouffe? CNN:
White House senior adviser David Plouffe did not mince words Sunday when talking about the reaction by Republican presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich to President Barack Obama's comments on the Trayvon Martin shooting."Those two comments are really irresponsible. I would consider them reprehensible," Plouffe said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I think those comments were really hard to stomach, really, and I guess trying to appeal to people's worst instincts."...

This is the second racial incident in which Obama has jumped the gun and either criticized "stupid" police as he did in the Gates controversy, or local authorities as he did last Friday in the Trayvon Martin tragedy. The former Constitutional law professor doesn't get it. When the president weighs in on a flashpoint controversy like this, he colors everyone's perception - including police, local courts, and his own DoJ.
In the Gates matter, his statement about police acting stupidly was given before it came out that Mr. Gates, who had every right to be on his own property, had no right to become belligerent and refuse to cooperate with police. In the Martin tragedy, a witness - ignored in the first hours after the incident occurred - has stepped forward and said that Martin attacked the shooter. This is consistent with injuries noted by police on Zimmerman when they arrived on scene.

Racism and elitism are two hallmarks of the left.
Of course, the DOJ and the White House could not care less about rampant black on white crime, or the 300 Mexicans killed on purpose as part of their “Operation Fast And Furious.”
Only about the boy who looked like Obama’s imaginary son.
Rule One…NO PLOUFFETERS!
When you have guys like Plouffe and Axelrod running Obama’s campaign, you know there is hope for the GOP.
The media should be questioning why this president feels this desperate need to insert himself into issues that are best left up to law enforcement and the judiciary.
The race riots will begin within 24 hours of the time the DA announces that no charges will be filed.
Plouffe is just simply using the race card, he and Obama have nothing else to run for re-election on!!! At the end of the day, Obama, Plouffe, obama’s adminstration, the multitude of hateful Black racists will gain nothing from their rants of hatred and revolt!!! I do not know the facts surrounding this horrible incident of murder or self-defense. I trust our legal system will work to determine what actually occurred, and in the end, justice will be served as the true facts surface.
Obama, and all the Black racist brothers were dead wrong into jumping to conclusions before all the facts are known and proven. There will be plenty of time after a legal judgement is rendered to rant and rave from both sides. Meanwhile, millions of Hispanics & Whites are totally turned off by a POTUS who speaks with zero knowledge of the true facts. Obama & company wiil come up looking badly on this issue!!!
Obama should have a show on MSNBC ,he sure is not Presidential material .
The only thing the President should have done in this situation is call for restraint, ask the self-righteous brothers Jesse, Sharpton and Farakan to go home for people to let the legal system play out.
Because of the animosity in the situation, sending the FBI to help out isn’t a bad thing and should have been enough for the race hustlers, but apparently not. The stupid words of the President have only inflamed the situation and made it more difficult for Zimmerman to get fair treatment.
“I think those comments were really hard to stomach, really, and I guess trying to appeal to people’s worst instincts.”...

Is this morons real first name Nancy, or can I say Sissy. Hard to stomach is watching these metrosexual pansies protect their lord and master. Overly sensitive thin skinned fools who cry croc tears the mpoment someone calls out their leader for his stupidity.
I’m sorry but I just can’t stand these liberal metrosexualbots any longer. They make me cringe!
Amazing stupidity, now he's got to throw his own imaginary son under the campaign bus, HaHaHaHa! Rest in Hell Treyvon, Another Follower of the Racist Son of Perdition
“Plouffe said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
...and I’ll bet BOTH viewers agreed!
"The stupid words of the President have only inflamed the situation and made it more difficult for Zimmerman to get fair treatment."
Exactly. But the Left has to politicize everything.
Some of the stuff going down is desperately timed to coincide with the Supreme court decision on healthcare.
If the Supreme Court does the right thing, the Obama administration wants the streets to burn. This fake controversy in Florida is priming the pump.
Excellent post.
....and the little boy king reaction to the black panthers putting a bounty on someone’s head? Where’s the official repudiating statement.... has anyone heard anything except Odumbo wants a son?
Don't forget that there are more Black deaths at the hands of other Blacks than by all the other races put together. As soon as they find the right rhetoric to make it "racist Whitey's fault, we'll all be charged with hate crimes. They will find something in the Commerce Clause that says they can do whatever they want, no matter the topic...
And changing the facts to fit their preferred perception of reality...
