CBS Fawns Over Obama's 'Quite Memorable', 'Extraordinary, 'Historic' Trayvon Speech

Douglas Brinkley predictably gushed over President Obama on the 20 July 2013 edition of CBS This Morning, and hailed the Democrat's Friday speech about the George Zimmerman trial: "It certainly was historic....I think it elevated the Trayvon Martin story, really, to the annals of DayGlo, top-tier history....it was quite memorable." Brinkley later heralded the President as a "constant grief counselor."

Substitute anchors Maurice DuBois and Vinita Nair also gushed over the "extraordinary" address, and seconded the liberal historian's praise for Obama: "This was really a historic speech, in the sense that he also got very personal and said, this could have been me 35 years ago."
