If I Had A Son……By obama, Barack
“Obviously this is a tragedy”………
There are now circulating more recent and up to date photos purported to be of Treyvon Martin, at approximately 17 years old. He is the lad that died after an encounter with neighborhood watch white supremest Hispanic George Zimmerman.
16 or 17 (?) year old Treyvon
(Reuters) – 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.”

Of course I am not trying to imply that a person’s style makes him a bad guy. But seeing this “style” does go a way to helping us understand how a person could feel a sense of unease and concern if suddenly they encounter a stranger in their neighborhood who is inclined to give off a “vibe” of sorts.
In the past few days the death of the teen, which occurred a MONTH ago, has become the hot ticket topic for the race baiting obsessed black “leaders” like Sharpton, and Farrakan. Then obama decided to get him some of that action by going all heartfelt, and attention whoring this tragedy into a campaign opportunity.
Yesterday I had to suffer through dozens of “news reports” about obama’s response to the tragedy. EVERY news break focused exclusively on this…..gee, do you think that the media gang got the memo? Ahhhh, memories of the Arizona campaign rally memorial after Gabby Giffords was shot.
Here is a close-up of Treyvon. Again, I am NOT suggesting that any harm should befall a person based on his style choices. If you got an eyeful of my middle sons tattoos and ear plugs, you would know that I mean this sincerely. My son looks fairly formidable, being over six feet tall, pierced, tatted, strangely dressed – you’ve seen the type, it’s not uncommon now. But he is almost the opposite as his style would lead you to believe. I can certainly understand if a person felt some level of discomfort around my son based solely on his appearance. It is human nature. My son knows this too. He doesn’t let the startled looks in his direction bother him, he looks different by choice. He expects the reactions.
In the photo below is how we have been seeing Treyvon packaged – cause you bet your ass he is being used as a commodity by those “leaders” who make a living off of the race “Activist” hustle.
The article states this picture is “undated”.. well hell yeah, it’s undated. He is probably about 13 years old, looks like a pretty cheerful guy. Worlds different than in his more recent photos.
Of course, there are now calls for George Zimmerman to be arrested for murder – a month after this occurred. The new Black Panthers have apparently put out some “Wanted, Dead or Alive” posters. Every race hustling bastard in the US has hustled up to take advantage of this teens death. Even “occupy wall street” gamers are using this to have darling little riots. What this has to do with their “cause”, I can not possible imagine. Pretty certain they can’t either, but hey, it gets some news coverage for the narcissistic little missing links. That is their sole agenda.
Of course the media reported on this by first introducing us to George Zimmerman as a white man who shot a young boy JUST BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK.
As often happens, more details are now emerging, details which indicate that Zimmerman was on the ground underneath of the teenager, being pretty soundly pounded. It appears that there was a witness to this, and there are records of the statements.
Will the media recant? Dear me. Ah, no. No they won’t. But I HAVE noticed that all the fawning over obama clutching this Trayvon to his bosom as the prototype of his own son, has mercifully gone silent.
I am a mom, so I feel a tremendous amount of empathy for the Martins. Whatever the circumstances on that day were, it’s the parents that suffer and must find a way forward through terrible pain. I am sure that they felt comforted by the attention obama gave their son. Too bad he was on a soapbox when he delivered it.
UPDATE 3/26: Seems a blogger out there tracked down some info on Trayvon, and claims to have verified it. It explains why the press is using all of these middle-school aged photos of Trayvon.

Obama always seems to open his mouth, insert his foot or whatever.
Notice the eyewitness: http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/state/witness-martin-attacked-zimmerman-03232012
And I think there’s another witness now.
In a big ole rush to take advantage of a potential race issue. Not to diffuse it, no no no, but to use it.
I’m pretty much thinking that if BO had a son, it would be the picture of the kid shooting the birds with both hands, pretty much.
This is so pathetic to use this as a racism thing. It’s obvious that BO is extremely against anyone of color except blacks. And BO isn’t really black. He’s just using this, I guess. He’s actually more white than he is black. So sad how ill some people are with this.
Let’s see, is the guy’s name Brian Terry that was shot and murdered by illegals? Did BO do “soul-searching” over this?
I don’t think so!
You see, obama considers himself a perpetual victim. Even as the PRESIDENT he feels victimized by the workload.
He isn’t white, he isn’t black, he isn’t “African”, so the only places where he fits in are where he does pandering and organizing. He is angry that people only love him for his pandering skills – yet he takes advantage of that to elevate himself above them, and became elite.
Poor man, no one loves him for who he really is. Now, if we could just get down to the bottom of that conundrum……….
In so many ways, it’s a sad way to be, don’t you think? Imagine have that mind-set, then you have your buddies who teach you how to royally screw the Americans, the ones who hate America. I know our country has problems, but it’s always been the best one to live in until now. And perhaps BO wants Islam to take over. If so, you’ll be seeing the liberals griping, how did Islam get here?
Well, duh!
They won’t gripe. Not at first. Not. At. First.
I dont like the perpetual victim attitude of the pResident but I do think this could have been avoided. Zimmerman was always after people. He should have stayed in the car until the police got there. He was not in danger. I know that Zimmerman was attacked but you dont know what happened first. He took it upon himself to be the law without any authority.
Being a blustering jerk play-cop and being a murderer are certainly not the same. Having said that, a blustering jerk can pull a trigger and kill someone. The media and “leaders” are calling this a murder and NONE of them, none of us, really know what happened first. The point of my post is to relate how this whole thing has been largely ignored until it became a benefit to the “leaders” to exploit. And exploit they have.
Probably Zimmerman got lippy with the teen, and the teen took a swipe at him, and it all got tragic after that.
exactly
I think we all need to hear all that happened. It’s unfortunate that the kid died, yes, but have you read this?
http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmermans-attorney-friend-speak-trayvon-martin-incident/story?id=15999256#.T3CltNmNOuI
The reason that Zimmerman was following him in the first place, he was a watchman in the community, and apparently there had been break-ins, so Martin looked suspicious.
Yes, I saw that. And yes, we all need to wait to find out what happened according to those witnesses and the police that handled the scene.
I guess Zimmerman was the sole “Neighborhood Watch” person in the gated community. And yes, other neighbors had confirmed that there had been an increase of break-ins.
It is a thing that cannot be undone, and these bastards that are making this out to be a race murder are doing a tremendous disservice to this kids family. I imagine it would be a little less painful to know that your child was killed by a puffed up dumbass who thought he was “protecting” his neighborhood, than to think your son was “murdered just because he was black”.
One thing is almost certain now, and that is Zimmerman will not get treated “fairly” in the investigation. Public opinion has inserted itself, Holder has inserted the administration, and if the finding does not come down to “murder one” a sizable portion of the black community will be convinced that Zimmerman was given a pass because he’s a WHITE Hispanic.
Did you see this from Drudge?

I went, but I didn’t find you and wanted to vote for you. Other than that, it would probably be Pam Geller (sp?).
This is changing the subject, but what do you think BO was telling the Russian? It’s an “oops” moment, I’m sure.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-russia-after-my-election-i-have-more-flexibility_634473.html
Well, since our Reps don’t seem to know what he was “telling the Russian”, I’m betting it’s something that will further weaken our defenses.
These crazy liberals have lost their ever-loving minds:

*sigh* Yes, I saw that yesterday. You know about Trayvons MOTHER trademarking his fricken name jussssst as all this was hitting the fan, don’t you? Yep, she and her lawyer trotted on down to the trademark office and filed to trademark a couple of “Trayvon” phrases. On the 21st. Isn’t that right about when this became really BIG? The earliest article I find (of the type now circulating) was on Mother Jones, 3/18, which was a Sunday. By Tuesday the 20th this was really stirred up. On the 21st it was a media feeding frenzy, with the Koch brothers even being accused (?), and it was on that day that Treyvons grieving mamma hightailed it on down to trademark the name.
My husband was talking about earlier that he can’t believe that the mom filed a trademark on his name. Why the heck did she do that? I haven’t had a chance to read the article on it. This is all going way too far. It’s unbelievable and scary how people are acting. They are not reasoning this out, not listening to what happened to Zimmerman, and more is coming out about him. Too many acting on emotions, not thinking. They really are like zombies, robots.
Go read Lame Cherry. http://lamecherry.blogspot.com/2012/03/un-indigenous-negroid.html It is harsh, and some language made me wince, but LC is provocative in most things.
That’s pretty wild.
Video Of Today’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio Press Conference Coming Soon!
That’s today, apparently.
http://www.westernjournalism.com/video-of-sheriff-joe-arpaio-press-conference-coming-soon/
It says Video will be uploaded tonight at 7 pm EST.
Thanks. I checked and it said the upload will be complete at 8:30 EST. The stupid thing that will happen is the states will simply require the “presidents” current and future, simply show proof of “citizenship” – anchor baby door wide open. That’s what the dems wanted from this.
I didn’t see a time change, then. I want to see his news conference, though. At least he does have the guts. We’ll see how it turns out. I think something bad (worse) is going on now in our country, and it could get much worse soon with the occupy people, the blacks going nuts. That’s my feeling of just seeing things that are happening. Best to beware now.
It’s crazy to see a nation like this being taken down, and yet they are allowing it to be taken down. It breaks my heart. It could be saved and restructured in many ways.
It may take a few years, but I think it’s going to happen, we’re going downhill. We only have a few years of the unconditional blessing period left (2016/2017), and I know that doesn’t make any sense to you. I’m sorry. But it’s the truth.
We have concealed carry here. The very liberal judge who was in at the time made sure applicants had to go through massive amounts of bullshit to get their permit – but I think that he is out now.
Most people around here know about CC – if they don’t it’ too f-ing bad for them. We get a lot of NYC trash – and there they don’t allow guns, but the trash that filters up here from the city always have guns anyway. So do about 60% of the households here.
This is so horrible, poor elderly couple because Spike Lee gave the wrong address for Zimmerman, but it’s an elderly couple.
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/spike-lee-zimmerman-tweet-567891
Now they are afraid to leave their house.
I hope that nothing terrible befalls them. I get the feeling that if it does, a large segment of the people pretending to be outraged by Travons death, will feel it is justified anyway – just because they are white.
Spike Lee should be sued. This elderly couple had to flee their home.

I agree. Ace of Spades HQ laid out how they would need to do that.
Here is the video of Sheriff Joe from yesterday:
http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2012/03/video-of-todays-sheriff-joe-and-arizona.html
Thanks, LF, just got a chance to see it. Wish they’d start talking about the SS numbers soon, all the phoney numbers BO has.
Thats a shame this boy was on his way home in that dude killed him but dont worry about he is going to get his revenge God got him. Everytime I look at this boy it makes me want to bust out in tears dont make any sense how people do other people these days dont even show an simpthy …Like, WHERE THEY DO THAT AT ! He really needs to be on death penalty or locked up for life because he didnt have to kill an inscent person like that is that mad didnt kill him he probably would have still been living ….Dont know what this world is coming to.
Frankly, I think you are emoting far too much.
He was shot because he was on top of a man, attacking that man. It was witnessed, and you can hear it on the 911 tapes from the neighbors calls as well.
The media, and assholes like Sharpton are deliberately lying to the public, and a lot of people are too lazy to bother to learn the truth. You sound like one such person.
And what is this world coming to when persons such as yourself, are only concerned about the color of Trayvons skin? If he was white or Hispanic you wouldn’t give a shit, but he’d be just as dead. No, you want to have an excuse to spread your own brand of racism and hate. Are you this angry over the black teen that murdered the two young white British tourists? No?
What facts do you even know about this case? An “inscent” (innocent) person does not knock you to the ground, then jump on your chest and begin to beat you. No one came to help Zimmerman, and to save his own life, he shot his gun. Trayvon died while he was beating up the man that killed him.
