President Obama today stood by his comments that the Cambridge, Mass., police department acted "stupidly" in its arrest of Henry Louis Gates, telling ABC News that the Harvard University professor should not have been arrested.
The president said he understands the sergeant who arrested Gates is an "outstanding police officer." But he added that with all that's going on in the country with health care and the economy and the wars abroad, "it doesn't make sense to arrest a guy in his own home if he's not causing a serious disturbance."

But it makes sense for the president to interject his biased opinion into it???? And B.O. is a "genius". I know this because the MSM tells me so.
Was reading a Fox news article earlier on this exact same subject and they left this little titbit out and it made me a little bit angry that they did. This is actually the most damning part of what 0 says. My jaw dropped when I watched the video and heard him say that.
It's funny that ABC news has this and Fox didn't. Fox only quoted 0's first few comments (those near the beginning of the video).
The quack health care professional is also a quack law enforcement officer.
Head Jerk is now on the defensive. Took 6 months. Good luck for the rest of your term!
Whatever happened to the post racial age Comrade Zero promised?
I wonder how these parallel statements would fly in today's America:
"I understand Whoopi Goldberg is a great comedienne, but with all that's going on in this in the world...."
"I understand Charles Barkley was a great basketball player, but he should know his place."
"I understand ACORN claims Barrack Obama was a great community organizer, but now he's acting very stupidly."
This is the Pee Wee Herman “I ment to do that” moment for the Obidiot!
Just like the common folk identified with Joe the Plumber, they identify with Crowley the Cop. People don’t like it when the President, with all the powers of his office, picks on Everyman. People see it as bullying and beneath the dignity of the office. Every time Obama does something like this, it takes him down a peg of two in the eyes of many of his voters.
Obama seems incredulous that there is any flap about what he said at all. This is more telling because he doesn’t see it from the same viewpoint as we do and furthermore, doesn’t have the ability to see it that way at all. His way is the only way and it is always correct.
He’s babbling nonsense, which is all he ever seems to do.
Insightful as ever.
Obama should have said the question was above his pay grade.
The wheels are falling off the Obama wagon....the more he opens his yap the faster the poll numbers drop. This guy is a train wreak the just keeps going....and going....and going.
Still America’s Race Hustler.
Keep digging, Barry.
Oops. You beat me to it!
Obama can’t let it go because he is the president (as he has reminded of this right out loud at least three times) and cannot let some mere policeman get in the last word or get the better of him
Obama is compulsive on this. I’m sure his advisers told him to let it go
“... It is the very insignificance of the story which makes it significant.It’s very insignificance is what reveals that the country is coming to the end of Obamamania. It is typical of human nature to react to a triviality when the real grievance is elsewhere. That is exactly what we are seeing here.
“The Magic Negro is, or soon will be, magic no more.”
Very well said!
I get the feeling that Obama has hired the same "advisers" that Michael Jackson" hired.
"I think I could use another nose job, what do you think?"
You do realize that O'Reilly is going to use your quote to show how evil Free Republic is. :-)
