Obama is Feeling the Heat For His Comment About the Cambridge Police

  I find it surprising that President Obama is facing some criticism about the comment that he made about the Cambridge police during his press conference last night, I thought that the media would bury this. But there are a few prominent people speaking out against Obama’s words, including Bill Cosby, who claimed that is was shocking to hear Obama say that Cambridge police acted “stupidly” for trying to do their jobs. The media simply cannot ignore this story.

  The part of Obama’s comments that disturb me the most is that after he proclaimed that the Cambridge police acted “stupidly” he admitted that he did not know the facts of the case. Obama had no business commenting on something as serious as this issue without knowing the facts.

  The Fraternal Order of Police has also come out and condemned the presidents remarks. 

That being the case, it’s unfortunate that he chose to say anything,” Pascoe said. “He wasn’t there, and he doesn’t know what happened

  That is exactly right, he should have said nothing until he knew what he was talking about.

  Because of the heat that the president has been feeling the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, was forced to come out and try to defend the president’s remarks. His defense?

“Let me be clear. He was not calling the officer stupid, OK?”

  President Obama did not call the officer stupid, just his actions. That is what the White House came up with for a defense of the president’s irresponsible remark. What a joke!

  And now the president himself has said that he is surprised by the controversy surrounding his comments and I am sure he is. He is not used to the media actually reporting on anything controversial about him. From Reverend Wright to bitter gun clinging bible thumpers to his birth certificate to William Ayers to Ssul Alinski, on and on the list goes and nothing was reported by the media except on the blogs. Now suddenly the press is covering a controversial story, no wonder he is surprised.

  But to top it all off we learn that the officer in the midst of having his name run though the mud is actually an expert on racial profiling and teaches a class on how to properly deal with situations in order to avoid racial profiling.

  We also learned that there were eight recent break-ins recently in that neighborhood and that Gates’s house was recently broken into.

  President Obama went in front of the American people, and even though his viewership continues to slide every time he holds a press conference millions of Americans still saw him condemn a man that he knew nothing about. He condemned a man and he condemned the whole police department and the truth is that he didn’t know what the hell he was talking about.

  Professor Gates, the man that accused officer Crowley of racism for trying to do his job, has said that Crowley should get on his knees and beg forgiveness from him. Gates said that if he found the begging sincere he just might forgive officer Crowley.

   But it is not officer Crowley who should be begging for forgiveness, it is President Obama who should be begging for forgiveness for smearing Officer Crowley’s name, for being so irresponsible and stupid, and for helping to  keep the race hustling tactics of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson alive.

  I was wrong when I said in the past that I believed America had moved past race as an issue. Clearly the president himself has not, and he is setting an example for millions of Americans. It is sad more than anything else. We elected him president but he is still not able to get past what he was taught as a member of Reverend Wright’s church over the last twenty years.

  Should we have expected anything different?
