You say all this to say what exactly?You are correct but such a mistake after all this time is not signficant. Also it should be noted that Obama like most of the nation had seen the photo of trayvon when he was l2 yrs. old that the media in violation of their code of conduct constantly ran with, thus-- misleading the public ---making them think that is what trayvon looked liked on the night he was killed. And coupled with that they constantly ran a disparaging photo of Z. The media bias in this case was outrageous but they got away with it. One of the low points in Ameican journalism...misleading the public and motivating several retaliatroy incidents of revenge which resulted in the death and grievious bodily harm of several innocent people. The media has blood on its hands. But they still to this day continue to lie about the trayvon affair.
Here is what Obama said:
Obama.... "when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids. And I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this, and that everybody pulls together -- federal, state and local -- to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened.
So I'm glad that not only is the Justice Department looking into it, I understand now that the governor of the state of Florida has formed a task force to investigate what's taking place. I think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen. And that means that examine the laws and the context for what happened, as well as the specifics of the incident.
But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon. And I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and that we're going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened".
Thus with all the power of the federal government and the state of Florida this case was invesitgated as thoroughly as is humanly possible.....the evidence was gathered...it was presented at trial and the jury in one of the great examples of how a jury needs to operate...basing their decision on the actual facts of the case declared Z was not guilty as charged. Even Jimmy Carter said the jury made the right decision...and no one is more liberal than Jimmy Carter.
What's the underlying point as it relates to the OP?
