Obama and Holder have spoken out on Zimmerman verdict, but why?

4:00pm Thursday, August 08, 2013
by Tim Inwood In the wake of the Zimmerman verdict, the President and Attorney General have commented. Their comments, however, weren't really pertaining to the case, as neither firearms nor stand your ground was really at issue.
