President Obama on Sunday called the death of Trayvon Martin a “tragedy for America” but urged people to remain calm, in his first public remarks since a jury Saturday night acquitted the man who fatally shot the Florida teen.
The president acknowledged the not-guilty verdict has elicited strong emotions across the country but said “the jury has spoken” and that Americans should respect the “call for calm reflection” by Martin’s parents.
“In the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher,” Obama said. “But we are a nation of laws.”

Obama also said Americans should ask themselves if they're doing all they can to stem gun violence, and what can be done to prevent future tragedies like the Florida shooting.

Of course the little weasel has to throw in his gun control bullshit.

why don't you start by cleaning up gun violence in your home town of Chicago before you go poking your nose around other parts of the country?

Even Fox is blathering on about 'Tragedy' today.  I look it as more of a natural selection issue, or the logical consequences of a strapping young doper deciding to beat the living shit out of somebody he doesn't know is armed.

I wonder if the Boy pResident gets into fits of despondency whenever the cockroaches in the White House kitchen are fumigated, as well.

I've also been wondering if the number of residential burglaries dropped off once Trayvon was no longer serving his school suspension in the neighborhood.
