It's amateur hour in the Orchid Office.
The Obamessiah is expressing 'surprise' at the controversy over his asinine remarks about Cambridge PD:
Obama surprised
Obama just doesn't get it.
It
isn't the president's place to be up there, on prime-time TV, taking
shots at the cops when he is basically clueless as to what went on. He
assumed that because the 'victim' was black, and a pal of his, and cops
were involved, that it was another one of those examples of racism on
the part of the Po-Po.
We all know what 'assume' does.
It did.
Who's the racist here?
Further exacerbating his monumental presidential stupidity, Obama continues to stick his foot in his pie hole:
"I
have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my
statement," Obama said in an interview with ABC News, "because I think
it was a pretty straightforward comment that you probably don't need to
handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who's in his own
home."
Obama remains unconfused by fact. Gates was not
'in his own home' when he was arrested. He was outside, and he was
highly agitated, and he was unresponsive to the officers. Any cop who
has been on the streets more than a couple of months will tell you this
is a recipe for disaster. The cane becomes a weapon. The agitation
escalates to violence. It happens every day in this country, and cops
get hurt over it. The fact that the escalatee is a Pillar of the
Community is beside the point. Social position is no exemption to
erratic or irrational or violent behavior. I could write a book about
members of the Great, the Near-great, and the merely self-important of
La Juntan society who had and who have the same attitude as Gates. No
manners, no class, and showing their *sses all over the place. Leece
saw that as Clerk of the Court, and that's where the title of her book
comes from: "Who You Are is What You Get".
Obama needs to stick to his teleprompter.
