You will not be surprised to know that I think he should! In the run-up to the Zimmerman trial he made a flagrant attempt to influence the jury by making remarks to the effect that 'if he had a son he would look like Trayvon', the youth shot dead in the fracas. Fortunately the ladies of the jury, all six of them from differing ethnicities, ignored his presidential nudge and voted 'Not Guilty'. Even so, it is a disgrace that a president should so blatantly try to interfere with a court process. Now we hear that the Feds, prompted by who, I wonder, are considering bringing charges against Zimmerman under Federal law. Truly an example of the old saying 'if the left hand don't getcha then the right one will!'
Hot as he is to get Zimmerman done for murder, I can't help wondering if the president isn't culpable of the same crime given that he has ordered the execution of American citizens without trial by means of drone strikes. And then there is his glove puppet Attorney-General, Eric Holder, who will no doubt claim that he was 'only obeying orders' when he allowed several hundred guns to be issued to Mexican cartel gangs and which resulted in the murder of an American policeman. And he is also the man who, with approval from the White House, refused to bring charges against two black thugs who hung around outside a polling station carrying clubs.
The Great American Public seem oblivious to these crimes and misdemeanours so let's hope they never have to face the consequences. Bearing in mind the execution of American citizens without trial perhaps they should ponder the paraphrase of this well-known line:
First they came for the Muslims!
(I'm off until tomorrow evening - a night in a luxoury spa hotel courtesy of 'SoD' followed by a day in Bath plus lunch at the Priory Hotel. I do think that when you've lived a clean and wholesome life one deserves this sort of thing, don'cha fink?)
