Obama Statement On Zimmerman Verdict: "Death Of Trayvon Martin Was A Tragedy"
The White House released a statement on Sunday afternoon from President Obama in response to the jury’s verdict in the murder trial of George Zimmerman. Below is the President’s unedited statement:
"The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin."

No he wants to take the guns away from the secret service agents that will protect himself and his family for life per the recent change in law he got. Of course, tax payers will pay for it all just like they did for his family's $100M vacation in Africa. What a hypocritical, fucking POS he is.

Barry is a mealy mouthed fraud who speaks with forked tongue. Stirring the pot to divide the people while claiming he is not. He should have asked, "How shall we stem the tide of police militarization and DHS ammo acquisitions? As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor George Zimmerman." :(
Why would I honor a lowlife future gangbanger like Trayvon? We should honor Zimmerman for tryiing to protect his neighborhood from Democrat voting thieves like Trayvon......and his family.
