President Obama told a reporter a few weeks ago that he thinks before he speaks. But he made a Biden gaffe when he said the Cambridge Police acted stupidly when they arrested his friend Gates. When he doesn't have a teleprompter present, he rattles on and on and then he trips himself up.
This remark has given people fodder for months to come. Because he has spoken up for his friend, the Health Care Plan has been put on the back burner. It seems that Gates wanted heads to roll, and I hate it when people ask "do you know who I am"? Or, "you don't know who you are messing with". People don't care who you are when they are doing their job.
I guess Gates thought he was going to get the officer demoted or fired, but it backfired on him. It seems he is going to milk it for all it is worth.
President Obama didn't say a word when a black police officer was first on the scene in New York a few weeks ago and the white officers shot and killed him. This has happened to several black officers in New York City. They thought the black officers were criminals. Now that is what I think is racial profiling.
