…and the campaign goes bananas with rabid fear about what direction this might take.   Remember the peeps I previously mentioned were behind the POTUS statements and opportunism?   
“The Scribes” of the inner-circle, live within their echo-chamber of bobbleheads.  Unfortunately those institutional bobbleheads are bound by ideological breeding only to move their noggins in vertical directions.  And Newt Gingrich knows EXACTLY how to take advantage of that.
Newt speaks big truth and the bobbles go frantic.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s Senior Adviser David Plouffe called former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s comments on the shooting of Trayvon Martin “reprehensible” on Sunday, saying they came from a man who was “clearly in the last throes of his political career.”
On Friday, Obama broke his silence on the shooting of the unarmed African-American teenager in Florida, a case that has launched a national movement.
“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said, underscoring how the issue affected him on a personal level. “I think [Trayvon’s parents] are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.”
Gingrich took exception with Obama’s comments during a radio interview later on Friday, saying they were “disgraceful.”

“It’s not a question of who that young man looked like,” he said. “Any young American of any ethnic background should be safe, period.  We should all be horrified, no matter what the ethnic background. Is the president suggesting that, if it had been a white who’d been shot, that would be OK, because it wouldn’t look like him? That’s just nonsense.”

 
On ABC’s “This Week,” Plouffe said he thought the president had spoken out “very powerfully.” He noted that there has been broad bipartisan agreement that there needs to be a thorough investigation of the incident, and of whether the shooter, George Zimmerman was truly acting in self-defense and whether race was at all involved.
“Those comments are reprehensible,” Plouffe said of Gingrich’s response. “And, you know, Speaker Gingrich is clearly in the last throes of his political career.  And, you know, you can make a decision whether to go out with some shred of dignity or say these irresponsible, reckless things, and he’s clearly chosen the latter path, and that’s unfortunate for the country.”  (read more)
