Obama continually does more to play the race card than anyone could have thought possible. Even those of his own race are sick of it. Worse, he runs his mouth even when, by his own admission, he doesn't know all the facts, and then goes on to make statements that apply racist overtones to an issue he shouldn't even be dealing with.
His latest asinine entry into a situation is that of the arrest of a black scholar, Henry Gates, Jr. in Massachusetts. Oh, wait, the scholar is a friend of Obama. That in itself makes everyone else stupid, doesn't it? The point that the professor was breaking into his house and someone called the police to report what they thought was a burglary, and the police duly responded. Mr. Gates at first refused to provide identification and accused the officer of racism. For what? Doing his job and protecting Gates' property? Just who the hell does Gates think he is...some celebrity that everyone is supposed to recognize at first glance and bow down to? No, just someone who is breaking into a house and needs to be identified. Since he refused and was allegedly abusive, he was arrested. The case has since been dropped. But Gates is demanding an apology from the sergeant who arrested him and it isn't forthcoming!
Then we have Obama spouting off that the police acted "stupidly". Then again, had there been an actual burglary or armed intrusion into his "friends" home, what would he have said then. The police were stupid because they were not there on time? Or should have done more?
Obama's statement at the end of his health care conference Wednesday night, without knowing the facts:
"I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry," Obama said. "Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And number three — what I think we know separate and apart from this incident — is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that's just a fact."
Yet I haven't heard Obama fry the obviously idiotic ex Virginia Tech campus clinic chief, Dr. Robert Miller, who took Seung- Hui Cho's mental records home more than a year before the gunman killed 32 people on the college campus before committing suicide. According to reports, Cho was counselled because of his "disturbing behaviour" and nobody knows why Miller took those files, along with the files for other students home with him when he left the University.
Maybe he hasn't had time to look into a "racist" element there to spout off with. I'm sure he can find something. A president, no less, who divides the country in more ways, than I can remember anyone ever doing. Politically, racially and morally, all within his first six months. Ain't that just grand!
