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.
Now we know why he has needed TOTUS so badly. They attacked Bush constantly for a slight verbage error, usually when he was tired, but when did he ever accuse a Police officer in front of the entire nation of being stupid? This is still a gaff of major proportions, beer or no beer.
How can we trust this President to nominate a Supreme Court Justice... if he has this tendency to allow his bias to overrule his need for facts, will he nominate someone that shares his view? What if Sotomayor has this reaction if Gates files suit and the case goes before her on the SCOTUS?
