Thread: Obama, Gates, and Cambridge police

eh, obama's not the first president to be a racist douche, and he won't be the last.

True. Now that he's the leader of the U.S. of KKKA, he has a standard to live up to

I agree with pretty much everything. It was bad enough that the mayor apologized to that ass, but the president commenting? Judging from the fact that Gates is obnoxious and belligerent during press interviews, I'm sure that he was plenty obnoxious and belligerent when the cops came, and anybody with a lick of sense is nice to the cops no matter the situation. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he had the police called himself just so he could have this type of thing happen to him. This is a crowning moment of self righteousness for him, and hes playing it to the hilt.

I'm glad that the officer refused to apologize, and I'm even gladder that there is partial a tape of the incident coming out. I have a feeling that there'll be some back pedaling soon.

a cop should be treated the same as anyone given a Taser and Glock and the authority to use either without legal repercussion

I guess "Somebody" should have waited for more of them, before taking sides.....

As I will now.....

Interesting little wrinkle to the story:

I’ve learned to generally avoid political discussion on line, however I will say it was a horrible error on Obama’s part. If it was intended as a distraction from other issues, he certainly succeeded. He also succeeded in greatly diminishing his stature through his ill-informed and stereo-typical comment.
