Another great role model...no one takes responsibility of their actions. The President put both feet in his mouth when he commented on the Gates incident, BUT instead of retracting and admitting he "jumped the gun", he needs a front page photo op drinking beer with the participants. I truly hope Sgt Crowley won't be arm twisted to say he did something wrong, just to get the President out of hot water. Gates should admit he escalated the situation, and Thank Sgt Crowley for showing up. IF there had been a break-in, and no one showed up, you can bet there would be screaming! The charge would be the police didn't show up because the owner was black.
This whole debacle is so obvious, and sad the President spends time on this particular incident, when there are major issues facing the Country...but those poll numbers mean everything. Part of the bigger picture is lack of responsibility taken for actions...a typical response in America. Naturally, we shouldn't expect out President to admit he made a mistake...that would take real leadership.
