Doesn't this un-presidential nigger know when to shut his mouth
for his own good? Anybody who votes for this fool is an idiot.

(CBS News) President Obama spoke out for the first time on
Friday about the fatal shooting of an unarmed 17-year-old
African-American boy in Florida named Trayvon Martin, calling it
a "tragedy."
"I can only imagine what these parents are going through," Mr.
Obama said from the White House Rose Garden, "and when I think
about this boy, I think about my own kids, and I think every
parent in America should be able to understand why it is
absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this
and that everybody pulls together, federal, state and local, to
figure out how this tragedy happened."
Mr. Obama said he is glad the Justice Department is
investigating the shooting and that Florida Gov. Rick Scott
formed a task force in response to the incident as well. The
president suggested he was sympathetic to suspicion that the
shooting may have been racially motivated.
"You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Mr. Obama
said.
"All of us have to do some soul-searching to figure out how does
something like this happen," he continued. "And that means that
we examine the laws and the context for what happened as well as
the specifics of the incident."
Gingrich, Romney, Santorum discuss Trayvon Martin
Mr. Obama was asked about the shooting on Friday during an event
at which he announced the nomination of Dartmouth College
President Jim Yong Kim to be World Bank president.
Martin was shot in Sanford, Florida, nearly a month ago after a
confrontation in a gated community with a neighborhood watch
volunteer, George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman maintains he shot Martin in self defense, and a
Florida self-defense law has so far let Zimmerman remain free.
But Martin's girlfriend, who was on the phone with him when it
happened, says Zimmerman was the aggressor. Before he shot
Martin, Zimmerman called 911 and told an operator an unfamiliar
African American was in the neighborhood. The 911 operator told
Zimmerman to stop following him.
In spite of the ongoing investigations, outrage over the
incident continues to grow.
Martin's mother Sybrina Fulton said on "CBS This Morning" on
Friday that she wants Zimmerman arrested. Thousands of people
rallied in Sanford on Thursday to push for his arrest, and
lawmakers on Capitol Hill have also decried the fact that
Zimmerman remains free.
Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida took to the House
floor on Wednesday to call for justice for Martin, calling the
incident "a classic example of racial profiling quickly followed
by murder."
After Mr. Obama commented on the shooting today, the Martin
family released the following response:
It is humbling that President Obama took time from his busy
schedule to talk about Trayvon and offer the support of the
Department of Justice and other federal organizations.
The President's personal comments touched us deeply and made us
wonder: If his son looked liked Trayvon and wore a hoodie, would
he be suspicious too?
We'd like to thank the President and the millions of people from
around the world who have shown their support for Trayvon by
participating in hoodie marches, rallies or through social
media. We are all working together to not only get justice for
Trayvon, but also to ensure that this kind of senseless tragedy
doesn't happen to another child.
Shut up, nigger!
