Obama just decided to show up this afternoon at a news conference so he could voice his opinion on the aftermath of the jury decision on George Zimmerman.

Why would he feel the need to do this? I thought it was a case for Florida to handle.

Is this a forerunner of further federal involvement in the case?

I'll provide a link as soon as one is available.

Hey, Mr. Wilson. Don't you ever get tired of all this crap?
It's a steady diet with you.

SpeedyWilson Loc: Upstate South Carolina

Sorry, I didn't call the news conference. I'm just reporting that it happened, and wondering why. Why does he feel the need to add to the divisiveness that's already being ginned up by the media this week?

And, yes, I am tired of all the crap we are fed by Obama and his cronies. It is a regular diet, and we are getting tired of it.

Here's some more information, and a short video:

He's stirring the pot and that is his intention, in my opinion.

Here's a longer video. The whole thing was about 20 minutes long, not just 3 minutes:

Will potential rioters now feel more aroused and justified this weekend?

Here is more video that should cover all his remarks:

Is Obama STILL crying over Tryon ?
I wonder if he ever cried over even just ONE of the more than 11,000 blacks in Chicago that got murdered since he
" organized their Community " and then left town ? Lol

tlbuljac Loc: Oklahoma

He was the original "hitman"

Hey, it's good to see your smiling eagle again and the cool hat. Had to chime in about Zimmerman etc. I think bringing you back to say something on Hedge Hog has been the best thing that came out of the entire Zimmerman trial. :D :D :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

RiverNan Loc: Eastern Pa

just saw the speech on the news and here is my take...

He was trying to help the oblivious understand the black perspective on this issue...the possibility that a history of being looked at as subserviant prison fodder has given them a view that a white man might not have, and his own experience of being following around a department store because someone SUSPECTED that since he was black he might also be a thief.

But most important of all that if Travon was white and Martin black ....Travon MIGHT still be alive...

And I guess that for the most part RACISM continues to be an issue that US citizens must contend with.

I did not seeing him cry. And I wonder more about the general publics sense of outrage at the death of so many blacks a lot more then I wonder about Obamas.

Samuraiz Loc: Central Florida

I agree with Mr. Wilson's concern. It became apparent that many in the black community were having difficulty accepting the verdict of the case and refused to recognize the authority or legitimacy of the Florida Court. When Pres. Obama and AG Holder decide to open a second federal investigation as to whether Martin's civil rights were violated even after a FBI investigation determined that Race had nothing to do with the actions of Zimmerman. This sent a message to the community that the president also felt that there was a miscarriage of justice thus diminishing the original verdict. It's odd that with all the issues that are happening within our country and international issues that he would have time to apply a personal vendetta against Zimmerman. Maybe we should refer to the president as Don Obama.
