Obama has learned well:
[VIDEO AT SITE OF WRIGHT, MEEKS AND PFLEGER]
Take this bit of race baiting for example. He spoke out about the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, after admitting he didn't know all the facts, and said that if it had happened to us “any of us would be pretty angry.”
Those racist cops don't know when to quit eh? Responding to a 911 call about a couple men breaking into a house, described as two black men, and then having the gall to question the men...who coincidentally had jimmied their way into the house AND fit the description given in the 911 call...for ID.
Patterico hits the nail on the head:
According to the police report, which I find more credible than Gates’s account, Gates started screaming about racism right from the get-go. (If he didn’t, then why did he get arrested?) And why? Because a police officer was reasonably following up on a reasonable concern?No, it’s because Gates assumed he was being profiled. And so does Obama, who gives us a long lecture about the history of racial profiling in this country — as if that had anything to do with this incident.
It didn’t. As Jack Dunphy said at the Corner:
The claim that Gates had been “profiled” is ludicrous. Police responded to a 911 call from a witness who described two black men she believed to be breaking into a home. If contacting a black man then found inside that very home is deemed to be “profiling” then the term itself has been stripped of its meaning.Welcome to post-racial America — where race hustlers hold sway, and all their paranoid fantasies receive official stamps of approval.
But who can blame Obama....he learned from the best in Wright, Meeks and Pfleger.
Problem is, he is no longer Candidate Obama...he is President...and if you don't know all the facts, as he so readily admitted, you don't proclaim to the world that one side acted stupidly.

Policemen need to start recording these clowns with their iPhones. It would have been sweet to see this old racist screaming at the police on UTube.
“Obama – I Don’t Know All The Facts But The Cops Acted Stupidly..BTW, Doctors Are Greedy SOB’s”
I was taught ‘if you don’t know all the facts, STFU’ and it’s a pretty good rule to live by. It has served me well all my life.
“A fool speaks because he thinks he has to... a wise man speaks when he has something to say”
He let his “community organizer” side take control there. He admitted to not knowing all the facts but smeared the Cambridge cops anyway AND threw in a homily about how America is still racist.
Spouting off like that was totally unpresidential and I hope it costs him.
But lawyers and politicians are the Lord's servants on earth. The great 0-bah-mah has spoken.
At first I thought Obama was just stupid but the more I see him, he’s just a d-—.
The official arrest report on “The Smoking Gun” was eloquent enough.
Not just the distinguished professor Gates’ racial chip but also his Kerryesque elitist arrogance.
That One should have stopped after “I don’t know all the facts”.
Keep it up Mr. President. Every time you’re disconnected from your teleprompter your petty arrogance and ignorance insults and alienates a new group of voters. Last night it was “greedy doctors” and “racist cops.”
Not the first time Obama “didn’t have all the facts”...This seems to be a common occurrence lately.
The "Pres__ent of the United States is now the authority on STUPID!
I hope he appoints "Skippy" Gates as his "STUPID CZAR." Think of all those people that get caught in these types of "stupid" situations with "stupid" law enforcement officers. Stupid people like Skip Gates need help from the White House.
It sounds like an attempt to make whites an underclass. “How dare you question US?” The cop is handling it well. However, enormous pressure will be brought upon him to snivel and crawl. Reminds me of Stalin’s purge in the late 1930’s. Former, Soviet officials dressed in baggy clothes “confessing.”
This is off the wall. If he wanted to really make an impact with his statement, it should have included all erroneous busts by stupid cops. I demand much higher standards for incoming rookie police.
What was the race of the person who made the 911 call, I wonder? It’s possible that that person was black, too. I guess the police should have said, “Sorry, you were a good citizen to call and report a possible crime, but since the suspect is a black male, we’re just going to let him go without asking for ID. Mustn’t be racist!”
Obama’s presidency is falling apart. He’s reverting to his racist, Marxist roots and appealing to black racists and capitalist-hating commies.
