President Barack Obama won't intervene in the Justice Department's determination of whether to file civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday.

The president "has no position to express" on how the department chooses to move forward in its response to the killing of Trayvon Martin, and the decision will be made by career prosecutors and not by the White House, Carney said. "The process will be handled in the way it should be at the Department of Justice and certainly not here."

The culture of irresponsibility loves this guy for a reason.

You nailed it.

[2harddrive]

The State of Florida Prosecutor’s office also COVERED UP that Travon Martin had kiddie porn on his cell phone, as well as pics of him menacingly holding a handgun. But, their IT guy testified to the truth, and was then FIRED for that!!

[PapaNew]

When will We the People file civil rights charges against Eric Holder?

From what I could tell, Mark O'Mara is a good guy and seems adept at standing up to hostile judges, government officials and media. I'd like to see someone like O'Mara for Zimmerman filing counter-charges against Holder.

[CincyRichieRich]

There all the same person or animal or alien...whoever this, 0bummer thing is.

[Bryanw92]

Obama doesn’t need to. He has his number one butt boy, Eric Holder, to do the dirty work.

[Bryanw92]

>>Just how deep can bullshit get? Is there a limit?

How many stars are in the sky? How deep is the ocean? How stupid is the average Democrat? There may be a limit, but its a really big number!

[1Old Pro]

I’m sure he nver got involved in the IRS stonewalling of right leaning groups. It’s a coincidence that the IRS guy was at more WH functions than anyone else multiplied by 10.

The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.

Obama already chose his side....and it's obvious where he stands and who he'll back, no matter how hard the W.H. tries to backtrack and say he won't get involved. Nice try though.... ;-(

[wastedyears]

BS

[bluecat6]

The buck stops....

...somewhere down there.

Isn’t the Justice Department part of the executive branch? HIS executive branch?

[upchuck]

ValJar to nobama: “I know this fits your personality so well and you’d like to jump in with both feet, but this one is a little hot. Best to cool it and let Eric handle it.”

[RWB Patriot]

Of course he won’t.

His useful idiots will do it all for him.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

"all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death" (Revelation 21:8).

nobama will not be so cool in hell.

[Old Yeller]

BS. He’ll be completely involved behind the scenes. And as with everything else, he’ll leave no paper trail.

[max americana]

Oh effing’ please. That POS Pussy-dent is the one who told another idiot in holder to go ahead.

[Eleutheria5]

I do! I do! And I just bought a bridge in Brooklyn, too.

[Chode]

yeah, right...

[VanDeKoik]

“Obama won’t get involved in Justice Department decision on Zimmerman case”

Said no one there ever.

[Eleutheria5]

People’s capacity to believe it, which grows more prodigious by the minute.

[LachlanMinnesota]

You beat me to it. NO one should believe this.

They already sent a cadre of community organizers from the DOJ down there and now the goose is in the oven cooking...Obama is in the drawing room smoking stogies with the guest until dinner is ready.
