President Barack Obama made a searingly personal plea on Friday for Americans to come together and do some "soul searching" after the shooting death of African-American Florida teenager Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watchman, noting: "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."

"My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon. And you know, 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 get to the bottom of exactly what happened," Obama said in response to a shouted question in the White House Rose Garden.

Amid angry charges that race played a central role in the tragedy, Obama said "all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen—and that means that we examine the laws and the context for what happened as well as the specifics of the incident."

The U.S. Justice Department has announced that it's conducting its own investigation into whether Zimmerman, whose father is white and whose mother is from Peru, is guilty of a hate crime by targeting Martin, an African-American, on the basis of his race."I'm the head of the executive branch, and the attorney general reports to me so I've got to be careful about my statements to make sure that we're not impairing any investigation that's taking place right now," the president said.

"Obviously this is a tragedy. I can only imagine what these parents are going through. And 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," the president said.

Obama's comments came just days after his chief spokesman, Jay Carney, had deflected questions about the incident, telling reporters "we're not going to wade into a local law-enforcement matter."

The ONLY one that knows if race played any part is the guy that did the shooting.
I myself don't think it was anything with race, but i wouldn't be able to say for sure without very detailed info on the case and being able to talk directly to the shooter.

It's sad that everytime a black guy gets shot, "the race card" is automatically the first card played.

There are "racists" of all colors.

To me.. It's sad how the reaction to this tragedy has caused a divide. People are using it for political posturing and making this about race.

The tragedy here is a kid was murdered and there was no arrest.

Look, I'm a huge proponent for gun ownership as most everyone here knows.. But it does my view on gun ownership no help when a fellow gun owner murders someone and does not even get arrested, much less tried by a jury of their peers. He already has the upper hand due to the self-defense law in Florida.

I'm aware I don't know all the facts.. but as a proponent for the Constitution.. One's right to live is a bit more important than one's right to fire a gun.

I think he would have reacted the same way, judging by his story. Lets not forget that Zimmerman is a Hispanic, not Mr. 'White Power'

I wouldn't be bothered by this at all if Mister Obama didn't have an extensive history of highly selective public "outrage". Now I just feel like a politician is trying to benefit personally off of a tragedy.

i think obama along with any other political person who comments on this is an idiot. it is a local law enforcement issue - it is NOT a governmental issue!

i thought the kid was half a block away from his house?!? not that it matters. he had a damn bag of skittles, walking down the street, so yeah - let's stalk him even after law enforcement told you NOT to, then continue on following this young man, allowing yourself to escalate your insanity, & then shoot him. i don't care if the kid was miles from his damn home, nobody & i mean NOBODY had the right to shoot him for doing nothing wrong.

And if they don't comment, they are insensitive assholes. Some of you need to shut the fuck up about whining about EVERYTHING! More like DepressionHome.com holy fuck!

How about we focus on the real issue here instead of being selfish idiots turning this into a political attack? A boy was KILLED wrongfully! What did he do to deserve such a fate? How does this relate to our society and stereo types? That's what we should focus on, not the fuck face politicians.


WE ALL AGREE POLITICIANS ARE FUCKING SCUM, TWO FACED WEAK MINDED LOSERS.


I read an article that the boy was on his phone with his girlfriend and said something about being scared that someone was following him? If the boy was such a threat, why was he being followed? Maybe I misunderstood something.

If that were my son, there would be a dead hispanic man, and I would be a guest of the state of Florida until they executed me. Sounds to me like the man that shot the kid was afluent and he's bought his way out of this so far.
