"7 out of 10 Americans, according to a recent Rasmussen poll, that believe that President Obama has handled the Prof. Gates arrest saga in a poor manner.
However, the reason I believe he handled it poorly is that I believe Obama should have taken the high road and never entered the fray in this distraction of a news story.
When he was asked to comment on the story, all he needed to say was, “Look, I don’t have all the details and I am not going to comment on a local police matter.”
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the poll was the revelation that 75% of the respondents said they were following the story at least somewhat closely. I would be curious to see what the response would be to a similar question about the war in Afghanistan."

Obama's actions since his initial statement at the news conference have all been to cover and provide a smoke screen for himself. The real big issue in this entire affair was that quote of his.
"I may be a little biased here, and I don't know all the facts, but the Cambridge Police clearly acted stupidly."
BEcause with this quotye, Obama provided a window for all Americans into his bias and underlying feelings that he 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.

Well, it’s a given that 13% of the population is in his corner no matter what he does.
Of course, some of those folks might have disapproved of BO’s actions-they probably wanted BO to be even more biased and racist against Crowley and the police.....
“Thousands of faceless black men sitting in jail for driving without a license . . .”
Is this true? Are there really that many black men sitting in jail right now for no other reason than driving without a license?
The difference between Obama and Crowley is that ZERO hold the NUCLEAR CODES TO MISSILES among other important things that require good sound judgment.
There are thousands of people BLACK AND WHITE that are sitting in jail for driving without a license.
here in california we live daily with the 30%.
Barry’s comment was an example of his real personality coming out from behind the mask. Once a race hustler, always a race hustler.
He had no business then or anytime later interjecting any opinions regarding this incident.
This was nothing less than a patently obvious attempt to incite racial hatred for political reasons.
That 30% of the people are OK with this is sickening. Is this man actually trying to start a race war?
Weren't you aware of that? And how about the thousands who have been lynched for jaywalking?
The 30% number is no surprise. Same 30% in the daily tracking poll of likely voters that “strongly approve” of the job their Marxist messiah is doing. This is the now 30% of the U.S. population that constitutes our nation’s hardcore brainless parasites & collectivist elites.
Precisely, how do you expect him to handle any problems with judgment when he ia basically racist himself and a AMORAL being?
The man suffers identity problems, confusion and a Marxist mindset which will end up sewering America.... Economically, Politically, Socially.....IMO
AMORAL.
“Is this true? Are there really that many black men sitting in jail right now for no other reason than driving without a license?”
Of course not. There is no room for them, anyway.
Dont get arrested on Friday night, its a long time before court Monday and you will sit in lockup
This couldn’t have happened to Obama at a better time! Just wait until people find out that his healthcare bill has racial preferance componates to it! Why should someone go first for treatment because of their skin color shouldn’t treatment be appilied depending on severity alone?
One of the cable hosts, ( most likely Fox, IIRC )said that their WH sources told them BO was enraged about how Crowley treated Gates
and couldn’t wait to weigh in.
He thought it was going to be a brilliant televison moment.
Instead Barry turned himself into Wiley Hussein Coyote.
Good point ;-)
