>> Obama doesn't have a son.

That was obviously a commentary on Obama's claim that "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." Obama's remark was targeting the shallow, but he said it, nevertheless.

If one LOOKS at the content of Trayvon's character instead of the mere color of his skin, the findings are somewhat different. And this is the reason Obama has so divided the country along racial lines -- by reinstating social norms from the distant past that classified people by their skin colors rather than by their characters.

The the use of the "Obama's Son" metaphor made perfect sense in that context.

Again, you may want to try to think a little more deeply sometimes.
