Compassion is dangerous to the conservative agenda.I hope that this is the end, Rove said. President Obama politicized this at the beginning of it, I believe, unfortunately, by injecting himself into it and saying that if Trayvon Martin that if hed have had a son it would look like Trayvon Martin.
We need a president to bring us together, not rip us apart, he added. And I hope the Justice Department does not respond to the ill-advised recommendation of the NAACP to continue this controversy.

There, now you understand what happens when a Black President has the audacity to point out the fact his is black.
Edit: He should have known his place.

Mouth as of today. He looks for things to complain about. What happened to his candidate who was going to win in 2012, still waiting for the numbers to come in just any day.

Guess it depends on what sort of person you are. If the President's comments created a fissure, it was between people of all colors who believe in social justice, who are capable of empathy versus, well, SOBs like you, Karl.
