In the election season, President Obama said that Trayvon Martin could have been his son, although Zimmerman is as much the same race to the President as Martin was. Do you think Obama should make a post-election and post-trial statement now?

I believe he has:
"We are a nation of laws and a jury has spoken," the first black U.S. president said in a statement. "I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son."

Yes.

He should say that George Zimmerman could be my younger cousin.

I think he should turn the rose garden into the beer garden again. That'll make a good photo op for the library--Rev, Al, The Martins, and Zimmerman sitting around a table boozing it up over pigs in a blanket.
