Does anyone else get that the speech Obama gave was nothing but a bunch strawman arguments?
He was running his mouth about racial profiling. What? Please point out to me where there is any shred of evidence of racial profiling. If there was any element of race in the story, it was Martin using racial slurs and then punching Zimmerman in the face and breaking his nose. Where was Obama on this element? Why is it okay for a black person to behave in such a way? The racial profiling that Obama was talking about never occurred so why did he bring it up other than trying to fan the flames.
He attacked the stand your ground law. As a 'legal scholar' Obama should know that Zimmerman's defense wasn't based on stand your ground so once again, why did Obama bring this up.
Obama asked if trayvon would be allowed to stand his ground. I don't even know where to start with this one. It sounds as though Obama thinks that stand your ground laws do not apply to blacks. Its beyond bizarre that Obama would ask such a question.
