re: #182 William Barnett-Lewis

Because it made things politically worse and probably helped gain Zimmerman’s acquittal so he didn’t want to do that again?

re: #183 Blind Frog Belly White

I wonder if it has to do with being aware that his comments on Trayvon led to Zimmerman becoming a cause celebre for the Right.

I remember early on, some wingnuts were saying, “Another Dirty Harry wannabe who went too far.” Then Obama expresses sympathy, limited as it may have been, for Trayvon’s family, and the next thing you know, Trayvon’s a thug who jumped poor, innocent George Zimmerman and beat him nearly to death.

You two were both faster than I was, so I defer to your comments and agree that Obama saw what a firestorm his “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon” created (hell, I still see wingers ranting about it) and decided the less said, the better.
