Were you really just taken in by the pathos of it all, or did your peeps actually do any research before having you declare, "If I had a son, he'd be just like Trayvon"?
Info here. If that blog can come up with such info, why couldn't all your advisers? I maintain that they should have, and could have, since the investigation into the kid's death was almost a month along by then.
That leaves us with the un-avoidable conclusion that your "Son just like mine" comment was actually meant to deceive. If it was, you owe us all an apology, Mister President. Even if you WERE caught off-guard by the cover-up of this lad's thuggish background, you owe us a follow-up, and that follow-up had better work to turn off all the "blood-in-the-streets" rhetoric we keep hearing from the race-pimps and their Black Marxist enablers.
If there is race-rioting over this issue, Mister President, you are more at fault for starting it than any who throw the first firebombs or use the first guns.
You have a role here, Mister President. Turn off this race war before it starts. If your people think you can hide a failed economy and a failed foreign policy behind the acrid smokescreen of a race war, you are mistaken. Election Day WILL happen, and you will lose anyway, because you will have been fired by We The People. Your Chicago-stype machine will not be able to stuff enough ballot boxes to prevent your being thrown into the dustbin of history.
The only difference is, that without a race war, you will have been fired for simple incompetence, and we've had a few incompetent Presidents before, several still living, in fact. If there is a race war, you will also have been fired for fomenting it, and you will NEVER live that down. You will be reviled for the most shameful chapter of our history that any President ever wrote, and there have been plenty written before you, such as FDR's WW2 Japanese ancestry internment orders or the many railroadings of the American Indian tribes.
You owe us, Mister President. You were elected to effect positive change in this society, and no matter how you lie, you can't fit either race war OR racial appeasement politics into the category of positive change.
If you want to make positive change, support this Nation, it's economy and it's heritage. It's your duty to suppress the hegemony of racial politics, not support it. We can live in harmony in these United States ONLY if we live as One People, not as a collection of races each with it's own racial heritage celebrated as if it was a positive thing. Racial heritage is nothing, NATIONAL heritage is everything. Support your Nation, sir, or step aside for someone who will.
That is all.
