Ugh...Obama's news conference is on my TV now. He admits his words possibly made the situation worse. Maybe he'll shut up next time. Gates is his friend, so he should've just CALLED his friend.
I agree with this lady on the street who said that Obama is getting involved in things that he should not get involved in. I also agree that the news conference about his apology was unnecessary. It was politics and then his talkative behind said this was a teachable moment. Well...gee, Obama...thanks for once again directing us on what to learn. Hopefully YOU learned something.
Woohoo.

I don't like any President. I respect the office of President and want them to do what we are paying them to do.
I dislike hearing Obama talk and when things get a pass or are celebrated because it is Obama doing them.

For those who want to criticize Obama, please be mindful that no president is perfect. Also, please remember that he IS still human and issues affect him as well. I don't want a president who remains silent on important issues in this country. I want a president to address them so that perhaps there can be real change. And to be honest, I don't understand why any self-respecting person would not want the same.

The time is, this is not an important issue. It is about a self important Harvard professor pissing off a police sergeant who loss his temper. Yes they both messed up. That being said this is not an issue of racism. Hell if it wasn't for the fact that the President was a friend of the prof, he probably wouldn't even have spoken. I honestly don't think this would have been such a big deal if the arresting officer was black. But by assuming a white cop going on a power trip was racily motivated is racist in itself, IMO.
