Of course Obama playing the race card by saying “his son would look like Trayvon Martin” before all the facts are out isn’t despicable. Either is the Congressional Black Caucus holding House hearings/PR stunt to capitalize on the killing.

The Obama campaign responded on Wednesday to criticism from two GOP candidates regarding his remarks on the Trayvon Martin killing, condemning their remarks with strong words of their own.

“I think it’s abysmal, despicable that people like Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are trying to make this a divisive issue,” said Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s deputy campaign manager, on CNN’s Starting Point, adding that “they should watch their own words.”

Gingrich called Obama’s remarks on the shooting of the unarmed 17-year-old in Florida “disgraceful,” while Rick Santorum said that the president was trying to “drive a wedge” between people.
