This is not another "just words" moment.
During a primetime press conference on the whole black-Harvard-scholar-being-racially-profiled-and-arrested-in-his-Cambridge-Massachusetts-home thing, President Obama said,
"Well, I should say at the outset that Skip Gates is a friend, so I may be a little biased here. I don't know all the facts."This is where the president should have stopped and minded his own business, but the all-about-me man just couldn't contain himself...
Now, I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact.President Obama admits he didn't know much about the case, and yet slams a police department on national television. Is this stupid or what?

Seems to me that America’s first post racial president ends up going to race an awful lot.
President Obama leads by example..
Obama Slurs Cops With Racially Tinged Bigoted Remarks
Handful of FreeRepublic posters outmatched by President
Well, in my neighborhood, if it weren’t for black folk, we’d have virtually no crime at all.
That’s just a fact.
The other thing he does is try to play to both sides of in issue. That makes him sound stupid.
Police came to my home just as I was getting out of the shower. They approached with flashlights in one hand and the other hand on the holsters of their firearms just in case there was an intruder in the home. Turned out they had the wrong house but they still ordered me to come out while I was just barely dressed and asked me questions with the flashlight in my eyes.
This was the long way around saying what was already said in the article. OBAMA is an A$$.
D’bama missed a great opportunity to keep his mouth shut!
And they called George Bush stupid. This guy cannot even marshall the facts and pose an argument. He is as coherant as a punch-drunk fighter. Even though his press conferences are created to make him look good, and the questions asked are known to him beforehand, he still gives the appearance of a man with a limited intellect. He obviously was given a free pass in law school.
This reminds me of New York City’s one-term black Mayor,David Dinkins,who favored the militant blacks over the hardworking Korean grocery store owners.
What he did last night was simply despicable. You have more than adequately pointed that out so I’ll just say I’ve never seen anything like that on the part of a president. I am furious about this.
The report will no doubt be on Smoking Gun within days.
The truth will be known.
Sotomayor will be handing out justice to his delight.
His buddy from harvard screaming at white cops.
Holder calling us Cowards, not pressing charges against club weilding black panters at voting booths.
This is just the first 5 months. It's going downhill fast.
This Kenyan marxist sleazebag and his America hating wife will probably incite racial violence intentionally.
If this owner of the house was an estranged husband breaking in to wreak havoc on his wife and the cops did nothing...
Best part of the article.
He’s still running AGIANT THE MAN! Once victimhood has taken hold.......hard to break.
MSM even has a ditty in the paper this morning about Michelle's new hairstyle???
People's Republic of Cambridge is just the sort of place that spawns idiotic behavior.
i wouldn’t even trust this man to babysit my dog.
Stupid is as stupid does.
And says.
