Obama LIES.

Obama acknowledged that he "gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Sergeant Crowley specifically," conceding he might have "calibrated those words differently."

By the time Obama's term is over, Bill Clinton is going to be considered a model of probity compared to the One.

That’s GOOD....and a very full card!

" conceding he might have "calibrated those words differently."

Obama grovels and apologizes for alleged United States' wrongs, but he can't apologize for his own words?

I guess his ego told him that it can't be done.

[bigbob]

well he’s got lots of practice at gettin’ high...

Not going to work this time — calling the police stupid and then the moron Press Secretary saying basically what do you expect since the Police Union endorsed McCain is going to leave its mark. ZERO is a racist who hates whitey which is why he could sit in Rev Wright’s church for 20 years.

I’d bet a good many WH staff hours since yesterday went into making up a scenario to best try and extricate Obama from this disaster he created. Don’t think the “they were both at faualt, let’s have a beer” revised approach will fool very many people. But the MSM will excuse make and lie for him whatever amount is necessary.

Too late. Obama exposed himself to a majority of Americans that he is a racist. No amount of lies, dog and pony shows, smoke and mirrors is going to change this.

Obama’s pal in Cambridge is a another racist as is Deval Patrick. The police got a call of a break in, the owners is breaking in. The first thing any cop will ask is for ID. They will walk around the house to see if it was not a robbery and the guy’s wife was being held hostage.

The owner should have called the cops and said, I lost me keys and I need to break a window or whatever he did to get in.

This racist homeowner probably just kept going after the cop. O is a racist.

Obama seems to be doing this every day. He is so unqualified and so immature that every time he opens his mouth he has to retract, explain, amend or redact. Yet... 51% of Americans somehow believe and support this goof. America is a brain dead nation...

"Calibrated".

I don't think I've ever heard that one used before. I'll give him credit for that.

It sounds really, really smart, intelligent, and oh so cool.

I guess in the ivory tower world of racial theory and Marxism one becomes accustomed to spouting meaningless verbiage to cover inconvenient truths. "Calibrate", for gosh sakes.

We need a president from the real world, and preferably not a lawyer.

"calibrated those words differently."

Devices for measurement are calibrated against a standard. How does one calibrate a word.

Obama is an ignorant poseur, 'playing a role'.

And it's WORKED!

From now on, instead of Obama, I will call him "racist Bi-otch!"

[hsalaw]

The comments to the article are uniformly anti-obozo. My favorite:

B. Hussein Obama falls all over himself to apologize for this country and for his predecessors as he travels around the world.

But when it comes to apologizing for his own racism, he just can't correctly "calibrate" the words.

Kevin James of KRLA is saying that the Cambridge Police have tapes of a significant part of the officer’s encounter with distinguished Harvard scholar. He speculating that the WH might have been informed of the existence of tapes, and that might have encouraged the WH’s backing off Obama’s original more aggressive stance.

Let’s hope there are tapes.
