So, I already wrote about Obama and the speech about health care. So, later on, for some reason, someone from the press asked him about a recent arrest of a professor that teaches at Harvard.
Sgt. James Crowley arrested Harvard scholar Henry Lewis Gates Jr. for disorderly conduct.
The story goes like this...(taken from the article, click title)
Gates was arrested July 16 by Crowley, who was first to respond to the home the renowned black scholar rents from Harvard, after a woman reported seeing two black men trying to force open the front door. Gates said he had to shove the door open because it was jammed.
He was charged with disorderly conduct after police said he yelled at the white officer, accused him of racial bias and refused to calm down after Crowley demanded Gates show him identification to prove he lived in the home. The charge was dropped Tuesday, but Gates has demanded an apology, calling his arrest a case of racial profiling.
So, for some reason Obama responded, "I don't know all the facts of the case..." That might have been a clue to shut the hell up but, NO...he continued to speak and say that Sgt. Crowley acted "stupidly" for arresting the professor.
I don't know why Obama feels the need to interject his 3rd rate opinion on a matter that is local and has nothing to do with his job. Just stick to what you know...oh, wait...never mind.
Read the article, express your opinion. Just try not to do it "stupidly."
