President Obama Full Speech Video On Trayvon Martin

President Obama talked about the Trayvon Martin case on Friday, voicing support for the legal process that found George Zimmerman not guilty of murder, but speaking to the disappointment and suffering felt by African-Americans in a country where race remains a complicated and emotional issue.

"Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago," Obama revealed to the White House press corps, who had gathered for a media briefing but did not know Obama would show up.

In an often personal speech, the President addressed crime, prejudice and how black Americans look at the Martin situation "through a set of experiences and a history that doesn't go away."
