McCain: POTUS recent comments on Trayvon very impressive
 On Sunday, Sen. John McCain (Rhino-AZ) appeared on CNN's State of the Union, where he called President Champ's Friday comments on Trayvon Martin and race "very impressive."Impressive, even though he could not raise his head or look into the camera with those sleepy, lizard eyes while mumbling on. He said, "I think we should continue to make progress," but added that "we still have a long way to go," even as he declined to "second guess" the verdict in the George Zimmerman case. We will always have "a long way to go", .....that is until "we" are all gone. McCain stated that "we were probably too optimistic" about race relations in the aftermath of the election of the country's first black president. "I think old prejudices die hard," McCain said. 'We have made significant progress, but I think recent events highlight the differences that remain." McCain also said he believed that "Stand Your Ground" laws should be reconsidered in light of the Martin case, despite the fact that "Stand Your Ground" was never invoked by Zimmerman and he was acquitted on grounds of self-defense. "Stand Your Ground" law applies to someone attacked from the bushes, returning to their car ? Posted by: Besoeker 2013-07-23 |
