The White House says the media's "obsessions" are keeping alive President Barack Obama's comments about the arrest of a Harvard scholar seen trying to get into his own house. Asked whether Obama regretted commenting on the matter, spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters that the president probably would regret distracting the media with "obsessions." Gibbs says Obama has "great respect" for police officers and understands what a hard job they have.

Hey Gibbs, Barry should have kept his mouth shut. His racism, which lead him to blame the white cop without having the facts, is what created this story.

one can only hope that by making statements like that the media will wake up and start to report what is really going on like they should have from the start....ya i know, wishful thinking and a dollar might get me a cup of coffee....

Blamed the 24/7 media for the health destruction troubles and now he’s blaming the media for commenting on his imprudent remark against the police.
Okay then.
Nothing ever his fault.

Let's just put the whole cookie jar incident behind us.
I think he expected the Cambridge PD to buckle under and apologize. Bwahahahaha!

It’s OK as long as the media is adoring and praising the little messiah, but when they dare to raise the least little question about his conduct, it’s a dangerous “obsession”.
To: libh8er
"...a Harvard scholar seen trying to get into his own house..."
Wow.
That's what the AP is trying to pass this off as?
Let me give it a try...
"...an unknown person breaking into a house, refusing to identify himself, and verbally abusing officers at the scene."

Don’t buy it. 0’s race play diversion didn’t go according to plan. I guess he expected the cop to apologize once Gates’ charges were dropped.

Obama really dug himself a hole this time. If he backtracks in any real and effective manner, he's gonna really p*** off the victimhood sect. If he continues on his current course, he's gonna alientate centrists.
No-win situation for him. Which is why Gibbs is demanding that the media quit covering it.
