Once again this president weighs in on something that he doesn't know the facts on and makes a statement that can have far reaching implications that potentially could lead to violence. the race hustlers and racist reprobates of race baiting are already on the scene in Florida stoking the fires of racial animosity.  Presidents don't make these kinds of judgements or public statements about local tragedies, especially in that type of atmosphere.

There is evidence being reported now that at least one witness has come forth to state that Zimmerman was on the ground calling for help before he shot this kid. Which would appear to represent a fear of life situation. I will wait for the full details to emerge, but one thing I am sure of. Barack Obama needs to stop commenting on things until he has all the facts.

Obama gets personal over killing of black Florida teenager

President Barack Obama weighed into the controversial killing of a black teenager in Florida in very personal terms on Friday, comparing the boy to a son he doesn't have and calling for American "soul searching" over how the incident occurred.
Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin, dressed in a "hoodie" sweatshirt, was shot dead a month ago in Sanford, Florida by a 28-year-old white Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer who said he was acting in self-defense.
"If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Obama said in his first comments about the shooting, acknowledging the racial element in the case.
"Obviously, this is a tragedy," Obama told reporters. "I can only imagine what these parents are going through. And when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids."

And a former governor even gets in on the act. I am sorry, but once again we have a politician who without all the facts has made a value judgement that could seriously jeopardize public safety in his state. and for what reason aside from politics.....Shame on Jeb Bush too!

In Arlington, Jeb Bush says ‘stand your ground’ invalid in Trayvon Martin case

 Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Friday that the “stand your ground” self-defense law he signed while in office should not apply to the case of a teenager who was killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer in his home state.
“This law does not apply to this particular circumstance,” Bush said after an education panel discussion at the University of Texas at Arlington. “Stand your ground means stand your ground. It doesn’t mean chase after somebody who’s turned their back.”
He was referring to last month’s incident in which 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was pursued by the volunteer and fatally shot in a scuffle.
“Anytime an innocent life is taken it’s a tragedy,” Bush said. “You’ve got to let the process work.”
Bush signed the law, pushed for by gun rights advocates, in 2005. It allows Florida residents to use deadly force rather than retreat if they feel threatened, even if they are not at home. Police and prosecutors cited the law in deciding not to charge George Zimmerman, the volunteer.
