President Obama on Friday went on the record about the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin for the first time since the shooter, George Zimmerman, was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter.

The one comment that stood out was the following:

"Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago," Obama told White House reporters in a surprise appearance at the daily briefing.

While I usually strenuously object to the narcissistic Obama inserting himself into tragedies like this, I have to give credit where credit is due. He pretty much was like Trayvon Martin 35 years ago.
