How or why would anyone think Obama would apologize for what was meant as a Black National’s teaching moment.
What do you think he as doing sitting in Rev Wright’s church for all those years.
Inevitable, I suppose. Perhaps it's time to retire “gate” as a moniker for scandal.
Obama let his bias and underlying feelings be exposed with that statement.
In truth, underneath the sheen, and the thin venier...behind the TOTUS, Obama is just like Gates, Wright, Ayers, etc.
And, IMHO, that is the most revealing thing about the issue with Gates. He is so clearly another person and instance of a pattern that fits Obama's other "close friends".
Racist, hate filled, angry, people who detest traditional America and the free market and whose seething hatred is only just below the surface...and in some cases always out in the open. Frank Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright, Henry Louis Gates, even his own wife, Michelle (by her own admission)...and the list goes on and on.
There is a clear pattern here that the MSM not only knows, but refuses to report. And that is because most of them share this hatred.
Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

...and on the lighter side, take your mind off the Obamanation for a few minutes and enjoy some beautiful Western US scenery slideshows.
It is interesting to note that as of ths past Sunday, Gates was pleading for people to move on and let this incident go by.
The message I get from his comment is that he has since been shown how wrong he was for his behavior and, rather than acknowledge that he got what he deserved, like most liberals, he just wants everyone to move on. I can’t help but wonder if Harvard administrators had a “chat” with him and convinced him that his behavior was both bad for him AND the university.
One of the most important reasons that this matters is that Obama lied to the nation, again, .... he lied trying to make something racist, that wasn’t, and he tried to destroy another innocent American citizen, the cop.
Obama needs to be IMPEACHED NOW.
President Bush took responsibility for his administration, and ofr his mistakes, to my memory. Is the author simply pointing to policy differences for which W did not apologize?
If so, the author is an idiot.
Like his predecessor? Where did that come from? When did his predecessor malign someone just to be doing?
I remember the opposite, that "his predecessor" would bend over backwards to avoid imputing base motives to his critics, or indeed, to anyone.
Barack Obama got to be president because he had qualities Americans were yearning for... calm, sober, fair-minded, and guided by facts rather than emotions. He didn’t jump to conclusions, he didn’t ignore inconvenient evidence and he didn’t blunder into messes. That was the guy we elected last year, and right now, a lot of people miss him.
Calm, sober, fair-minded. You're describing GW Bush. I know it doesn't sound like media accounts, but then, thats your first problem. The media described O as the Second Coming, and you bought it. It described GW as a buffoon, and you bought it. Silly goose. You never saw it coming. So who's the buffoon here?
ping for later
What really surprises me about this ‘gate’ is that the media is reporting on it. I’m amazed they haven’t just buried it and ‘moved-on’. That gives me a bit of hope.
Is any body actually really surprised by Obama’s remarks? Now that he is in power, he doesn’t see the need to stifle himself that the rest of us do
This fits my perspective.
I'm not following the story and I don't have television so the big mystery to me was how did the president of the United States, leader of the free world, commander and chief etc. get himself involved in such a minor, routine incident. It really does smack of a smothering large federal presence while at the same time making Obama shrink incredibly small. I think this is one of those things that sticks with the casual observer, common man voter. He lost a lot of stature on this one.
Nonsense. The “reporter” plant that asked about it was there to distract people from Obama’s StalinCare bill. It worked.
