Obama Campaign: Republicans Are "Politicizing" Trayvon's Death (Unbelievable!)
Real Clear Politics ^ | Wednesday March 28, 2012

Posted on 03/28/2012 1:58:07 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

"His Republican opponents have jumped all over him because they do want to play politics with this issue. The President spoke from his heart on this, it was trying to emphasize with some parents who had just lost a child. By any measure, this was a tragedy and we need to let the investigation take its course," Stephanie Cutter, Obama's Deputy Campaign Manager, said on MSNBC today.

"People have to stop politicizing it," she added. "It's no surprise that some of our Republican opponents are trying to make an issue with this. But the President spoke from the heart and we need to let the investigation take its course."

The President spoke from his heart? The cold fish doesn’t have a heart, and everything about him is politically-driven like some cold sociopath. The guy lies so effortlessly because he has no guilt attached to his false words.

Now that's a gaffe! Freudian slip or did she mean empathize?

Maybe the "author" was shooting for "empathize".

And missing.

Deflecting guilt out of guilt. The classic Saul Alinsky tactic of ‘deflection’.

Even if she had said “empathize” it would have been incorrect, unless Obama lost a kid I don’t know about.

What do you expect from O-blamer? After Flukey Sandra and her “poor poor me and my sexual addiction” world tour was a general flop, the Kenyan-by-way-of-Chicago thug needed a new cause to gin up his base in time for re-election.

It’s not like he has much of a record to run on:

- Hillarycare-on-steroids about to go down in flames with the Supremes.
- Gas prices as high if not higher then when he was blasting his predecessor for making his oil buddies rich.
- New employment outside the Beltway more sluggish than half the population after a nice Thanksgiving turkey dinner.

Yup, he’s definitely deserving of a second term, so he can finish the job he’s so ably started. Oh, and let’s put Nancy Pelosi back in charge in the House. We need more legislation that needs to be passed so we can find out what’s in it!

Let me correct myself.. “Deflecting guilt because you’re guilty”. There. Fixed it.

Proves what a dyed-in-the-wool racial ideologue he is.

I’m sure all his pollsters are telling him to get off this thing before he provokes a Hispanic backlash and blows his party to smithereens.

Plus this thing is sending white voters running away from Democrats as if they all had bubonic plague.

I guarantee you that when they realized that their War on Women campaign over contraceptives (even with Barry’s call to Fluke) was running aground, they started trolling for something less genital and more visceral and found this case that they could use to whip up both their black constituency as well as white liberal women and this even featured Barry’s involvement in likening Trayvon to the son he would have had. And it’s way easier to Tweet people to march dressed in hoodies than as condoms.

If Republicans really wanted to politicize this, they’d be reminding Latinos day in and day out that the Democrats and Liberals are trying to lynch one of “their” people.

But they’re not. They don’t have the Democrats’ gift for exploiting the racial content of every issue.
