She read it off a piece of paper...She said it was because she wanted to make sure she got it right.

Have to believe Gates called Obama directly.

"stupid" isn't the BIG deal...that was just wrong....It was saying "white cops have been doing this forever".

Obama sounded just like Reverend Wright.

Read the question off a piece of paper?

Well, real journalists have been known to write down questions in advance to ensure that they can ask it intelligently in front of a camera.

The DNC has also been known to hand a stooge a paper and have them read it as their own, complete with scripted tears.

With this bunch I think that they called a stooge who masquerades as a reporter and requested that she read the question - notice his stumble in the transcript:

“Okay? All right. I tried to make that short so that Lynn Sweet would get her — the last question in.”

And I do think that Gates is such an immature crackpot that he called his BBF and asked for pressure on the police dept.
