George Zimmerman says he has a clean conscious, blames Obama for racial tension
In a recently released video, Zimmerman blamed President Obama for causing racial tensions after the death of Trayvon Martin.

Besides being in the news for arrests involving domestic disputes, we haven’t heard much from George Zimmerman since he was acquitted of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012.
In a recently released video, Zimmerman blamed President Obama for causing racial tensions after the death of Trayvon Martin, saying in a videotaped statement that Obama “overstretched, overreached, even broke the law” by allowing the Justice Department to pursue a civil rights investigation of him.
Zimmerman also criticized Obama’s public response to the shooting, in which he said a month after the shooting, “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” and for the president’s holding a ceremony marking the anniversary of Martin’s death with the boy’s parents.
“For him to make incendiary comments as he did and direct the Department of Justice to pursue a baseless prosecution, he by far overstretched, overreached, even broke the law in certain aspects to where you have an innocent American being prosecuted by the federal government which should never happen,” Zimmerman said.
Zimmerman has maintained that he was acting in self-defense when he killed Martin during a Feb. 26, 2012 altercation in a gated community in Sanford, Florida.
He said he felt free to talk since the federal government declined to file civil rights charges against him.
Zimmerman said the government should have investigated potential violations of his civil rights, including death threats he said were made against him and his family.
Zimmerman said he was satisfied with the outcome.
When asked if he wished his confrontation with Martin had turned out differently, Zimmerman suggested that he did not and that he has a clear conscious.. “Had I had a fraction of the thought that I could have done something differently, acted differently so that both of us who survived, then I would have heavier weight on my shoulders,” Zimmerman said. “That sense in the back of my mind but in all fairness you cannot as a human feel guilty for living, for surviving.”
