Obama made a mistake by using the term stupid in his characterization of the Cambridge police.
He admitted he over reacted. He correctly characterized professor Gates and officer Crowley as over reacting.
He is attempting to bring himself, professor Gates and officer Crowley together to show we all can move past this situation together.
That is how we need to work solutions to our societal problems. We have way too much divisive politics in today's world. The other side will not give the other side a chance.
Too many people on this site spend too much time name calling and blaming rather than looking for mutual solutions.
For God's sake, you have as much BS as our fine president. The man is incapable of admitting he is wrong and apologizing and he proved it.
He never said, I am sorry! I am sorry for calling or inferring that the officer or the department is stupid, either through their actions or their choice of words.
For that matter he owed the American people an apology for even getting involved in it and he failed to apologize in that sense as well. The mans ego will not permit it.
Don't expect everyone to gulp the kool-aid as you do!
