Anti-Climacus

I was basically with Ta-Nehisi Coates in believing that Obama probably shouldn't say anything about the Treyvon Martin case, since any statement will inevitably make the case more about him as president saying certain things, and less about the case itself. So his actual statement was pretty surprising in that respect, measured and limited and reflective of emotion without wallowing in that emotion. Whatever else you might say about him, dude can talk.
