What's everyone so upset about?
That was President Obama's response Thursday night during an ABC News interview when asked if he regretted his "acted stupidly" comment during Wednesday night's press conference.
"I am suprised by the controversy," Obama told ABC's Terry Moran. "I think it was [a] pretty straightforward comment that you probably don't need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who's in his own home."
And while Obama did not apologize for his strong jab, he attempted to soften its impact by offering compliments to the police officer at the center of the Henry Louis Gates Jr. arrest, Sgt. James Crowley.
"From what I can tell, the sergeant involved is an outstanding police officer," the President offered, adding that he "has extraordinary respect for the difficulties of the job that police officers do."

This is a work of fiction right? This guy is really the President?
Yes he is, unfortunately.
well, i am surprised too. i thought everyone knew oblabo was a racist jerk who would of course side with a race baiting idiot.
He “won”, what does he care about anything?
Here he goes shooting off his mouth again. about something he does not know about..I hope this keeps on going..it needs to show his extreme racism..
Oh how I wish he would just STFU!
He was grateful to have the Gates racist question asked last night when he was blowing the health care press conference. Now he’s suprised it has all blown up in his face.
Without his teleprompters he is just simple community organizer.
Obama is too stupid to know any better.
And oh, was that 'extraordinary respect' on display the night before.
Please, Community-Thug-in-Chief, don't stop inserting those street-cred-shoes in your mouth. The Black Community & the Tingly Media may be cheering you on, but no one else is eating your Excrement Sandwich.
I never... NEVER hear them taking about this fraud of "president" these days.
They don't say a word about anything (good/bad/ugly)... they don't defend him/his administration's policies.
"O" IS the crazy uncle/aunt that shows up at Christmas time and the family attempts to ignore him.
I'm looking forward to January 2013 (I know there's a lot of folks in the same boat).
Can anyone remember when Obama admitted making an error?
Unfortunately this crazy uncle does more than just talk to himself about how handsome he was back in the day. He is in the position to destroy this country. God help us.
Put Obama next to Jeremiah Wright, I can’t tell the difference. A chip off the old block
Oy vey!
I foresee urban riots.
