President Obama broke his silence on the George Zimmerman verdict controversy in a not-so-surprise appearance in the White House Briefing room.
“As I’ve stated before, if I had a son, he would look like Trayvon (well, except for my charming looks). And, to be honest, what happened to him could have happened to me if not for a few slight differences.”
The president continued in his transparent race-baiting rhetoric as he adjusted himself for the best camera shot.
“I mean, if I had caring and loving parents like Trayvon, maybe I would have been profiled after buying some candy and soda. As it was, I was sent to Boarding school, which, as we know, Trayvon’s parents wouldn’t have been able to, grew up with an absentee mother, raised by two grandparents, attended Columbia and Harvard, and began a career in public speaking which I disguised into a political vocation, and eventually became what you see now, President of the
United States.”
The President then took his water bottle and deftly dabbed his eyes to simulate tears.
“It’s unfortunate that it takes a tragedy to make you realize just how fortunate you are in life, like myself.”
The President dabbed his cheeks with a handkerchief and gently eased down his press-not-invited oration.
“Thus, if we had less opposition from the Republican lawmakers and more cooperation, perhaps young men like Trayvon wouldn’t be profiled and they would have an opportunity to serve successful men, such as myself.”
The President concluded with a nod to the camera.
This was clearly another historic moment in his legacy and a brave step forward in redefining the office of the President into a soap box instead of a world leader.
