Real, or Best PR Stunt Ever?

Bonus points if the victim was black.

Best Facebook comment: Do they mention he caused the car crash trying to investigate their suspicious driving?

President Obama: 'Trayvon Martin Could Have Been Me 35 Years Ago' (UPDATE)

In Wake of Zimmerman Verdict, Obama Makes Extensive Statement on Race in America

Good for him for speaking out, giving such a thoughtful and contextualized assessment of the whole thing -- making sure to address problems of "poverty and dysfunction" in black communities and acknowledging that young African American men are disproportionately "both the victims and perpetrators of violence" -- while urging respect for the legal system.. (I'm sure this will calm things down!) Read HERE.

UPDATE: And the accolades have begun over on Breitbart.com!

"This idiot of a president just started a freaking race war."

"WTF?!! is this guy trying to start a race war or something????"

"Obama's continual push for race riots is now being kicked into overdrive."

"He isn't going to be happy until we have a full-blown race war."

"Aw what'sa matter, Obama? You didn't get all the mobs and deaths you wanted out of this verdict? Not enough looting and plundering and blood for you?"

"Fueling a race riot. Isn't this like yelling fire in a movie theatre?"

"Obama is the Race-Riot Arsonist!"

"What about the thousands of whites killed by black mob violence?"

"Coming from a half white man... Barry, STFU."

"Sadly I can't recall any mixed race person identifying themselves as white. It must be because they were raised that way as a way of getting preferential treatment due to the old affirmative action stuff."

"Last time I checked a SKUNK is half white & half black.."

"This guy is unbelievable, he just stoked the flames of racism, he's by far the most racist President in the history of our country,"

"He wants race riots and gun violence so he can champion more laws that restrict law abiding citizens."

"So the Divider in Chief injects race into the Zimmerman case when it had nothing to do with it. He is really a disgusting hack."

"What a racist, incendiary D-bag!!!! This PoS admin can not stop fanning the flames and creating a racial divide!"

"When will he get over his color and realize he is in the White House instead of the Hood."

"This country is getting more divided by the day thanks to BO. All I see now are blacks running rampant looking for an excuse to loot and terrorize."

"True. All I have seen are blacks running around stealing, looting, rioting and beating up people because of the color of their skin."

"Unbelievable. This is sickening. I wish he'd go back to the gay bath house he came from. Marxist racist, white hater, mooslim, American hater, activist. Useless scrap of flesh this man is."

Pardon Me, Governor

State Sen. Dwight Bullard, D-Miami, is asking Florida governor Rick Scott to pardon Marissa Alexander, the 32-year-old African America woman who received an outrageous 20-year sentence for firing a warning shot to ward off her abusive husband. Alexander's futile defense cited Stand Your Ground, the same principle George Zimmerman used to get away with murdering Trayvon Martin. Unfortunately, the governor has yet to respond to Bullard's request as he has not been seen in days, which may have something to do with the protesters who have camped out in the Capitol building these last few days.

Zimmerman Acquitted / Page 1 Consider (07/14)

Wish I could say I were the least bit surprised that George Zimmerman was acquitted in Florida of murdering Trayvon Martin, but it was a jury of his peers, not his victim's. In my opinion, this was a grievous miscarriage of justice and sends a distressing message about who we (still) are as a nation.

And get a load of George Zimmerman's brother, who is clueless to the irony of his own words: in discussing what the future may hold for George: 

“There are factions, there are groups, there are people that would want to take the law into their own hands as they perceive it or be vigilantes in some sense."
