The official statement, the first one, was obviously written by staff. (Note the reference to the “Lord’s day,” which no good Muslim would say.) Then comes the real Obama as he fields questions. He just can’t help himself. It’s whitey’s fault. It’s the police department’s fault. Once a community organizer, always a community organizer.
I just noticed, however, that this statement was made July 11. It’s still a stupid comment.
