Twenty-six percent (26%) of voters nationwide say President Obama did a good or excellent job answering a press conference question about an incident involving a white Cambridge, Massachusetts policeman and a black Harvard professor. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 46% rate the president’s response as poor.
...
Beneath the top line numbers is a huge gap between the way that white and black Americans view the situation.
...
Seventy-one percent (71%) of African-Americans say the president’s response was good or excellent, a view shared by just 22% of white Americans.
At the other extreme, 53% of white voters gave the president’s response a poor grade. Only five percent (5%) of black Americans offered such a negative response.
African-Americans, by a two-to-one margin, say the question was inappropriate. Whites are fairly evenly divided on the appropriateness of the question.
Seventy-three percent (73%) of African-American voters believe that most blacks receive unfair treatment from the police. Just 21% of white voters share that view.
Thirty-two percent (32%) of black voters say that most policemen are racist, but 52% disagree.
Among white voters, just seven percent (7%) believe that most policemen are racist and 71% say they are not.
On a partisan basis, 50% of Democrats say the president’s response was good or excellent. White Democrats are less supportive than black Democrats. The president’s response earned a poor rating from 77% of Republicans and 52% of those not affiliated with either major party.

It was a very poor response.
Obama let his bias and underlying feelings be exposed with that statement.
In truth, underneath the sheen, and the thin venier...behind the TOTUS, Obama is just like Gates, Wright, Ayers, etc.
And, IMHO, that is the most revealing thing about the issue with Gates. He is so clearly another person and instance of a pattern that fits Obama's other "close friends".
Racist, hate filled, angry, people who detest traditional America and the free market and whose seething hatred is only just below the surface...and in some cases always out in the open. Frank Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright, Henry Louis Gates, even his own wife, Michelle (by her own admission)...and the list goes on and on.
There is a clear pattern here that the MSM not only knows, but refuses to report. And that is because most of them share this hatred.
Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

...and on the lighter side, take your mind off the Obamanation for a few minutes and enjoy some beautiful Western US scenery slideshows.
So now we now that 26% of the population are racists or racist apologists.
Some significant percentage of that 26% would have said the same thing if Obama’s public response were to have been scratching his armpit and emitting a loud belch.
Piss Poor!
THAT would have been the most intelligent thing he has said to date. If in fact he would have said that.
this really didn’t require a poll. any thinking person would have been able to predict this. We are more divided now since January 09 than we have ever been divided, and I lived through the 60’s.
26% were not there, do not know the facts and thinks the cop is stupid, just like 0bama.
That tells you that of every 100 polled, 26 are certified moonbats.

I am beginning to think that the real racists left in the USA are these blacks. Black anti-white racism seems to be rampant.
Yeah we have moved past racism\s Never!
Yes is most certainly was! Obama admitted he did not know the details and then said the police officer acted stupidly, and of course mentioned racial profiling.
Just read the police report below, listen to the interview of Office Crowley, and read the statement of the back up officer. Then you decide who is racist!

It was the (W)right response!!
Oboma has shown himself a racist. This is why affirmative action is a bad idea. The most qualified person should get first dibs on any position. Pigment is irrelevant.
Hopefully, next time, the voters will take the time to check a candidates citizenship and qualifications before voting.
I was a teen in the 60's myself. This whole episode had made me wonder about one of my best friends. An Erkyl looking colored kid, that went by the nickname "Whitey". Not kidding.
I call that a target-rich environment.
The OJ trial, all over again.
