Excerpt:
. . . This case should never have gone to trial. Probable cause for charges of second-degree murder did not exist. Unfortunately, it has become evident that charges were filed based upon a purely political calculus, rather than upon the legal merits of the case. This is legal malpractice, and those responsible should be held accountable.
Before charges were even filed, I publicly and inappropriately said: "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." This was irresponsible of me. It was a politically motivated abuse of the presidential bully pulpit. It presumed Mr. Zimmerman guilty until proven innocent. The implication was racially charged and cynical. To the extent that I may have contributed to the spurious filing of charges, I apologize to Florida. I also apologize to George Zimmerman, his family and the American people.

I loath this administration. There's nothing too despicable, too dishonest for it to utter.
No, the speech he made was perfect.
Obama's speech said nothing of "woe-is-me" so I can't address your comment. Do you have something to say about his actual speech?I don't recall in his speech where he made mention of that other minority family involved in that trial just a 'woe-is-me' I'm a poor Black guy angle.

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Oh the part about how he hears locks clicks and being followed in the department store wasn't 'woe' seriously.Obama's speech said nothing of "woe-is-me" so I can't address your comment. Do you have something to say about his actual speech?
Reporting negative experiences in one's life is not a "woe-is-me" moment. That doesn't even make any sense.Oh the part about how he hears locks clicks and being followed in the department store wasn't 'woe' seriously.
For a guy who was raise by well off White folks and educated in the most prestigious private school in Hawaii, he sure talk tall tales.
Along with spitting in the face of Whites and other groups, I suppose that speech was hunky dory. 8)

Obama was talking about people reacting to his race, not people reacting to his education and parents. Thus, your comment is nonsensical.
People who think that Obama was "spitting in the faces of white people" are projecting the hostility they feel towards blacks.
What a logical and well thought out response.Non sense! What an Obamatron you are.

Oh, for God's sake!!!
Anyone who denies we've got Black While Driving goin' on...Black While Walking...Shopping While Black...Using An Elevator While Black is blind as a bat.
Apparently you've never heard the song Bridge Over Troubled Water?

While there are racial issues in America please tell me how they are improved by claiming a thug like TM should be honored? I compare the word "honored" to something I do for veterans, police officers and hero's in society - not kids that jump community volunteers, beat on them, do drugs, take others property, get suspended from school, text about buying a firearm, look up to a gang leader, and enhance his tea and skittles with cough syrup. Please explain to me how "honoring" this thug enhances the conversation about issues surrounding African Americans? When the loser in charge of this nation says "honor" TM (a thug) he tells me that my life is not worth defending because its white. Screw him.
Jesus. Cut the guy (and African-Americans) some slack. The news media portrayed Trayvon Martin is a young child, for heaven's sake. Most people in this country didn't have NEAR the interest we on DP had...watching the trial, reading testimony, looking at exhibits...for well over a year.
Most people knew what they were told...that Trayvon Martin was a young kid on his way home from the store with some goodies for his friend. And they heard it over and over and over and over again.
Our country's African-American population was being rabble-roused by the "best" -- Jesse and Al. "No Justice/No Peace" rattled in the streets.
Do you really think that the President of the United States was going to step up and defile the memory that had been created by a media gone wild?? No, he was going to try to quell the anger and vitriol by saying, "I get it, folks. I get it. I hear you. I understand."
Did he say exactly the right things? No, he didn't. But some of the **** I've read in this thread about what he should have said is just ridiculous. Our President stood up and quieted a constituency of this United States that has had and continues to have a raw deal in many respects.
Hell, we can't even break the cycle and teach many of their kids to read, for God's sake. Give them a break. Give him a break. And quit being so damned pompous. NIGYYSOB. That's what you're playing. Look it up.
