Scapegoat - George Zimmerman, in an interview on CNN, said that Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have made him their scapegoat. For what, however, he couldn't say. “I don’t know what they’re thinking or why they’re thinking it, all I know is that they’re doing it. I don’t know what agenda they have,” said Zimmerman, who also hopes to become an attorney one day. (Photo: New Day via CNN)

Keeping It Real - "When Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago," Obama said after George Zimmerman was found not guilty of the fatal shooting of the Florida teenager. "And when you think about why, in the African-American community at least, there's a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it's important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that — that doesn't go away."

Who's Using Whom? - In an interview with the Spanish-language network Univision, Zimmerman accused the president of using Trayvon Martin to get votes in 2012 when he famously said that if he had a son, he'd look like the slain teen. Obama "saw it as an opportunity," which Zimmerman says was "unfair" and left him feeling "upset, sad, disappointed."  (Photo: AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
