Typical President Obama displayed his ineptness in portraying a President. He continues to speak his own personal "feelings" concerning topics, instead of speaking "Presidentially". He blurts out to the world without thought of the big picture. He consistently reminds us he was a junior Senator, and still green behind the ears, so we shouldn't be surprised when he steps on his own toes.
What were you thinking Mr. President, when you commented on the Professor Gates incident? You jumped in with both feet when asked the question, and deliberately made the decision to make your opinion known to one and all. On national TV, you had a prime opportunity to calm the situation. You admitted not knowing all the facts, which was a perfect "out" for you, but instead, you insisted on playing the race card. What a shame you want to continue to stir the pot...I guess listening to Rev. Wright had more of an effect than you proclaimed. As President, I would have expected you to refer to the "situation" as "unfortunate", and commit to reading the report before commenting further. That is all that was needed, but you took sides without the whole story. You took a stand that assumed the Policeman's actions were other than the "norm", and possibly racially motivated.
This incident has spoken volumes about you Mr. President. Unknowingly, you have shown the world your bias, and you consider yourself the judge and jury. You said the department acted "stupidly". Without securing the full facts, you felt obligated to take sides. How stupid was that???? You're suppose to be a smart man, but you convince us otherwise. Why would any head of state purposely make a comment that would add fuel to the fire in a situation he has admitted not knowing the facts? It is unfortunate for us, as a 'United" States, we have a leader who will use the race card without just cause to divide our Country even further. It makes me wonder if you really want us to be "ONE" NATION UNDER GOD? You might want to take heed to the age old saying, "United We Stand, Divided We Fall."
