    like Veg said, he was asked by a member of the media. Seems reasonable for a President to weigh in if asked about it. Do you honestly think that any president would want to add fuel to an issue involving race? I sure don't.

    Why does it matter what he looked like? The only reason to bring up his appearance would be to tinge the commentary with race.

    When Caylee Anthony was murdered and her mother got away with the murder I was heartbroken. I took it as someone harmed my own daughter even though we are not the same race just like Trayvon Martin could have just well been my own son.

    It doesn't matter what he looked like. I'm believe Obama was simply showing empathy as that could have been his son. I'm baffled how his comment has been viewed as him bringing up anything to do with race.

    first of all, i'm sorry i even brought it up. i wasn't trying to make a large deal out of it. that said, not really sure how the statement "my son would look like trayvon" is to be interpreted in any way but him referring to color. As I said, he didn't say "that could have been my son or that could have been any of our children" which have been said thousands of times by thousands of people. he made the focus of his statement that his son would "look" like trayvon. if this case happened when gwb was president, and he had said the exact same words. Wouldn't people have thought it an odd and strange choice of words?
    again, this pales in comparison to all the other issues this case has so I apologize for bringing it up.

    I agree it was odd to say, but had GWB said the same thing about a white kid I wouldn't say he's making it a racial issue. I'd have the same stance. Sure there would be people attacking just like there are now. Those people decide what to think based on their allegiances.

    It was a planted question , told to be asked by the president before the press conference started . I have no proof just my opinion and would not put it beyond the administration to ask such a question to make it sound like the president is concerned . The only thing the president is concerned about is getting re-elected . Why wouldn't he comment on the black panther reward or the racial hate coming from the left . He should denounce the congressman that was in the chamber today with a hoodie and all the congress people that have brought the issue to the house and senate floor . If the president was so concerned he would put a stop to the rally's across the country and the looting of stores in Trayvons memory, is that a way to remeber trayvon by comitting violence ?

    Planted question. Lol.

    Do you actually think that a president should stop rallies? How would he do that? Send out the military? Saying a president should put a stop to having rallies is absurd. However I agree that the looting makes zero sense to me.

    Trayvon Martin Video Shows No Blood or Bruises on George Zimmerman

    After he already received medical treatment. Lovely close up grainy shots in that video by the way with the news logo covering his head anyways half of it. I guess the cops just lied in the report to cover up the shooting. You have a witness who confirms Martin was on top of Zimmerman beating his face and slamming his head into the concrete. I guess that's not enough.
