The Cambridge Police Patrol Officer’s Association president also strongly criticized the president’s remarks in an interview with The Huffington Post.
“That was totally inappropriate. I am disgraced that he is our commander-in-chief,” Stephen Killion said. “He smeared the good reputation of the hard-working men and women of the Cambridge Police Department. It was wrong to do. It was disgraceful,” the web site quoted him as saying.

I think they’ve ‘frozen’ this poll. It hasn’t changed since last night.
Perhaps the numbers were trending against their wishes.
As long as the Republicans don't end up with another John McCain as the candidate in 2012, Obama gets one term.
10,000+ votes for no than yes. Hussein and Gates should be apologizing.
With this non-story on the front page, what major Hussein created disaster is being swept under the carpet?

Thanks. It’s not frozen.
0bama losing this one.
I’m beginning to think this question and response was a planned “gaffe” to distract from the healthcare talk.
I agree.
Nothing dissolves “white guilt” faster than an shameless race hustler “getting in your face” and insisting you are a racist based on nothing more than your pale skin pigmentation.
Yup.
I get the ol’ “Error on Page” message when I try to cast my NO vote.
It wouldn't be the health care reform disaster, could it?
Or could it be that pesky little thing called a birth certificate issue surfacing, could it?
THAT is the quastionm of the day.
The Obamessiah's calculated move to put this second-rate, third-page, non-issue "story" in the headlines is a perfect example of what a colleague of mine calls "Throwing talcum powder into the fan"; which I suppose is a slightly fancier way of saying "Smoke screen".
This is the group to worry about.
The Morons.
More importantly what the hell is the President of the United States even speaking on a single simple disorderly conduct arrest for?
Everything in this Country is going so great that the President has nothing to do and has time for this crap?
Sorry we do not even have a President. We have an inexperinced political hack that is going to drag this nation down.
This issue will only help Obama. We need to let this die quietly. It is a distraction that will only boost Obama’s support.
He is assuming the mantle of the great protector of the poor minority faced with the dealing with “the man”. He is the great OZ, the one and only. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong in this. The perception of the black community (remember OJ) will be that the white guy deserves to be punished for all of the evil his ancestors did.
Once the issue is changed to a symbol with the aid of the press once they follow Obama’s lead on his recent comments about it, all of the guilty white liberal folks who voted for him will return to the ranch and his falling support because of Health care, the mideast, etc will fade into memory.
