I hate to say this but if you can't read words that hurt your feelings with any amount of understanding please use the ignore function. You won't be the first and certainly not the last.

The truth is usually simple to explain but a lie always involves complexity. Example: "It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is."

Maybe he meant another officer representing his administrtion. This guy live in some strange place. He has paln that really don't exist its clear how unless gaols are palns and now says he didn't say what he said clearly unless the media got a double to do it.

Naw you really should retype that post, you made way too many mistakes for it to make any sense.

Provide a link to where Obama is quoted as calling that officer stupid. Not that the police acted stupidly, but that one officer is stupid, cuz thats what the thread is about if you didn't understand already.

No feelings involved. I just can't make sense of your post, particularly the first sentence. It's a mess...and here it is:

"One of the particulars he should have known to use the word stupid, in any form, would be at just what point did Gates get loud, and I am sure he did just that."

What does it matter? The message is the same whether you say someone is stupid or acted stupidly. The point was he was trying to insult the Cambridge police and did so successfully. His backtracking just makes him appear less and less credible. Personally, I agree with Obama and thought they acted "stupidly." However, at least be man enough to stand by your words instead of backtracking like a shameless politician.

Would Obama have felt the need to make these comments if......

1) This was a professor he didn't know and had no previous association with.

2) If it was a white professor living there and it was a Black Police Officer?



OhBlahBlahBlahma was very biased and discriminatory in not only choosing to speak out on this incidentl; but also the words he choose to use in his speaking out.

Quite frankily, it borders very closely to racism on Obama's part. So very close, that it pretty much is racist of him.

silly bammers really stepped in it on this one

BOSTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama plunged his presidency into a charged racial debate and set off a firestorm in one of America's most liberal bastions by siding with a black Harvard scholar who accuses police of racism.
But many in Massachusetts said he crossed a line by passing judgment on police while acknowledging he did not have all the facts. Online polls in Massachusetts show strong support for the white arresting officer. A police union also has come to his defense.
