The witness testimony said the two men were wrestling.  They did not see the start of the physical fight and did not agree about who was "winning" that fight before the shot went off.

The one thing everyone, including Zimmerman, agreed about, was that Zimmerman had never seen Trayvon before, but suspected Trayvon of robbing homes in the neighborhood, and Zimmerman tried to pursue and contact him for that reason. 

And that was the one and only aspect of the case that Obama's comment was about. Obama said that he also got suspicious stares as a young man.  It's there in his autobiography, which he wrote before ever running for public office.

Your previous post said Obama's comment was motivated only by a coincidental physical resemblance to Travon Martin and not abouts the facts of the case.  Let me know when you decide which it is.
