    I don't think there is a need for Obama to speak on this.

    The problem will soon be dealt with, it's pretty likely that Zimmerman is gonna get charged now, so there is no point in Obama possibly hurting his campaign by speaking out on this issue.

    How is it going to hurt his campaign when most people are against Zimmerman in the first place? If anything, it would actually help his campaign if he spoke out against injustice, especially with younger voters.

    help him if he spoke out???


    Obama will be crucified politically if he spoke publicly concerning this case , being accused of using it as a re-election bide!

    The Right Wing Conservatives and his enemies are no doubt waiting for him to say the least thing so they can misconstrue it.


    oh if only I could predict the Megamillion so easily....

    GOP Slams Obama for "Dividing this country up"


    "White House senior adviser David Plouffe lashed out on Sunday over a pair of comments by Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum to President Barack Obama's reaction to the Trayvon Martin shooting.

    "Those two comments are really irresponsible," Plouffe said on CNN. "I would consider them reprehensible."

    "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon," Obama said on Friday.

    "Is the president suggesting if it had been a white who had been shot, that would be OK because it wouldn't look like him?" Gingrich said Friday on Sean Hannity's radio show. "That's just nonsense. I mean, dividing this country up, it is a tragedy this young man was shot."

    In a separate radio interview Friday, Santorum had a similar reaction.

    "What the president of the United States should do is try to bring people together, not use these types of horrible and tragic individual cases to try to drive a wedge in America," Santorum said"

    This is why I don't want Romney or Paul to face Obama. They won't be as unintentionally funny as Gingrich and Santorum. Maybe one will make the other a VP candidate and we'll have McCain/Palin part 2: Dumb and Dumberer
