The POTUS knows about law, which is why I'm baffled by his statements. It has nothing to do with race, color, or whatever - it's what the law friggen says and its interpretation.
e.g. perv shoots of a photo up a girl's skirt. yeah, it's wrong but the perv broke no law. She was in a public place and there is no expectation of privacy in public. -- think about that. If you want the LAW changed, YOU have to get involved.
President should know this better than most... Now as that applies to stand your ground - if you're that upset about the verdict, get involved and change the law.
So mad about this horrid reaction from the POTUS - way to put fuel on the fire.

So are you mad that the President isn't getting involved
enough, or mad that he's getting involved
at all..?
What was the up-skirt peeping reference about? If the President thought that Stand Your Ground laws were wrong (the jury was advised to take the law into consideration-- so despite what some people have said on these boards, the jury
did consider the law in this case), shouldn't he get involved to see that such state laws are repealed? Are you saying it's just totally wrong for a President to get involved in a huge news story? What about Terri Schiavo, for example? This sort of thing happens literally all of the time, because the President is the figurehead of the United States. This was a huge international story.
