“I have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement,” President Obama said in an interview with ABC News Thursday night, “because 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.”

O has a serious illness called “FOOT & MOUTH “disease!
The Fraud Zero just cannot keep from opening his mouth and race pandering.
“who’s in his own home.”
How many times has THAT erroneous piece of information been stated, and published?
O is trying to get abc news to smooth this over.Don’t speak until you got the facts O.
It’s standard procedure around here to hand cuff anybody who is being arrested. (Behind the back - not in front)
Apparently there is AUDIO TAPE that proves the officers version of the events.
IN other words GATES is lying.
In Other words OBAMA owes the officers and aoplogy AND the american people an explanation of why he put his opinion in when he should have stayed out of it and TRUSTED THE OFFICERS
He is HEAD OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT
(hint: The Police are ADMINISTRATIVE BRANCH TOO, arent they Mr. “president”))
Can this poser really be this clueless? And, now, in his further explanation, Obama is talking about "my suspicions". Is that a step up or down from drawing conclusions without all the facts, as he originally did?
What President? I wasn’t aware we had a real President.
HOW DID HE KNOW HE WAS IN HIS OWN HOME?????????????
Gates, after refusing to give an ID and raising CAIN, finally gave the officer his Harvard University employee ID card...
...which only confirms his name is Henry Louis Gates, it does not connect him with that address. Employee ID's do NOT carry home addresses on them, that's why the thing was prolonged, the Officer had to call Harvard U PD nad get them to access a computer base to figure out where Henry Louis Gates lived, since Gates would not or could not present said evidence.
It would be worth looking into whether Harvard U had an up-to-date address on Gates. The guy took a trip with an UNLOCKED DOOR, he obviously doesn't bother to keep records up to date.
Very unpresidential. Obama is too immature to be president.
Nothing is left to chance. It is a tactic of the Marxist-Anarchists playbook I think the American people are becoming aware that 0bama's
"press conferences" are nothing but staged "Sham-Wow"
infomercials with planted questions which are pre-approved
by the Ballerina and Axel-rude.
0bama wants to destroy race relations in America
The narcissistic tendancies in Obama leap off the page. ‘What, question my statement??? The audacity...’
He trully believes he is sooooo above it all.
More idiotic ramblings from the Clown-in-Chief......
Between outright lying about the facts, i.e. Gates followed the officer outside as he was leaving, the lie also involves missing critical information. Mr. Gates followed the officer outside shouting racist and aggressive threats.
I don’t necessiarily agree with officers arresting people who talk back to them but commit no crime and are not inciting a mob attack on the cop. But since Obama and Gates have turned this into a diversity racist pi———ing match, I am supporting the officer to treat Gates like they treat everyone else who yaps like a flaming racist.
If the Community Organizer doesn’t let this go can we assume the dufus wants race wars in America? I am really astounded by the guy that the liberal idiots in this country put in the White House!
He’s surprised because he expected the whole country to bow down in submission and apologize.
Maybe it was subconscious speak ... Soon Obamination will be in everyone’s home looking to arrest through his Racist SS Organization.
God, because of His eternal righteousness and the fact we have turned away, has allowed us to inflict an ironic judgment upon ourselves. We have elected a petulant, immature, angry, lying juvenile to be our leader when the job requires a patient, wise, God fearing, mature adult.
We had such a man and did not appreciate that fact.
Here in Arkansas, the saying is, ‘you pick what you plant’.
“I wasn’t aware we had a real President”.
Right with ya. Following logic, since his entire past is sealed and concealed, I cannot accept that this goofball is a legally elected president. I refuse to combine the words, “President” and “obama” together, because it is a lie. I hope that some day, I am proven right, but in my mind, we don’t have a legal president and his legacy is one of a criminal organization that got their front man in the White House. Really strange times we are living in now.
