Pres. Obama Remarks on Cambridge, MA Police Controversy

[bobbbbbable]

Why the fuck does Obama have to apologize?! All he said was the police officer was acting stupid, and for God's sake, of course he was acting stupid. You can't just get arrested for trying to get into your own home. I'm so sick and tired of America getting all mad when someone protests excessive police force. Of course the police were out of line, he was just trying to go inside his own fucking home. The pres has every right to call that out as stupid police behavior.

[bobbbbbable]

Ooo, but he strained race relations when he said he thinks there are problems with racial profiling by officers in America. God damn it, of course their are, he's just explaining an issue, fuck the public for being stupid enough to get mad at it for straining race relations. It's not even really straining race relations, it's just gently explaining something many agree on already.

[bobbbbbable]

You know what, fuck this. Fuck Crowley, he's a stupid officer, a horrible fascist loser who likes to arrest people randomly. Long live Gates, he's the best man in the world, fuck you America for treating him down. Fuck this stupid neocon country.

[TheTiggersoo]

Im pretty sure maipai101 you werent there when it happend, so chill. The police officer was doing his job, news flash thats why we have them. Bottom line, you dont disrespect the law. Its not about ego, he was called by a neighboor, he didnt just show up at random and arrest the guy.

[VagabonNinja]

The asshole wasn't just doing his job. The professor didn't invite him into the house (police need a warrant to do that) but he came in anyway. After the professor provided proof that he was the owner of the house, the asshole then arrested him. The cause? Because the professor asked for his name and badge number? You mean you can't do anything if a cop treats you unfairly? I didn't see how the professor did anything wrong. These assholes need to be accountable to the law as civilians are.

[hint0122]

he was being a dick to a cop.

[trianglepoint]

you are f-d dude you are worthless to us the american people we have no respect for it...i;e YOU,..you need to apologize you idiot,...be the good boy,..wherre is your humility,...YOU NEED HUMILITY,...citizen of the GALAXY,...we do not care about you,...you are really f-n ,..up....be a good boy...please..really i am disgusted,..w/ you and your family.

[COM0fAek]

President Obama owes no apology -- he was correct when he said that Crowley acted stupidly in arresting Gates. Under Massachusetts state law (which has been tested in several precedent-setting court cases) it is NOT illegal to berate an officer or hurl abusive language at an officer, even during an arrest. This was a classic "attitude arrest," which is simply not legal in Massachusetts. The arrest was more than just "stupid," it was a false arrest and an abuse of police power.

[oluwalogbon58]

america is a gun culture full stop .. the 2nd amendment is what runs your country.. your police are as power crazy as any we have in west africa and they have guns too!

[reportanddeport]

WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

[ma7799]

Obama is an asshole! These cops were doing their jobs, but even after the truth is revealed, he STILL cannot apologize!

[maipai101]

The cops brought race in and they arrested the man for disorderly conduct because they were ashamed that he actually DID live there not only that but the woman on the phone said that they possibly lived there there was no excuse for this. Listen the the DAMN TAPE!

[CTMotorcop]

Not once did Obama apologize. Weird, He can apologize to foreign countries for things that America has done in the past but not to a police officer or police department after chastising them before learning all the facts. He still based everything on what he heard! This guy is a lawyer and he knows that this was nothing but hear-say. I guess as president he can say and do what ever he wants and expect the American people to look the other way. I gusee this is what he meant by CHANGE

[DGot14U]

Never has a president apoligized for anything that was done during his term in office. Get over it.

[CTMotorcop]

(Never has a president apoligized for anything that was done during his term in office. Get over it.) Your right he apoligizes for stuff that that kept us free. Oh yeah, I'm sorry if I ruffed your feathers heaven knows that would be wrong too

[couchpotatoe244]

ha ha, Obama is a racist.

[sharkdude129]

lastly it would be like in iraq, there is not difference between a man, woman, or child shooting at you with a gun. either way you WILL have to kill him or you WILL be killed. im proud that a black man is a proffesor, dont get me wrong. but he was acting out of controll and thats his fault for acting up. there is no racail crime here. its just the media making a big sceen over something that is not racist, but in the end it turns up racist cause no one has the stones to step up and say drop it

[sharkdude129]

IF ANYTHING, obama needs to apologize because he was a friend and said they acted stupidly, and he doesnt even have the stones to admit that he is wrong. look im white and my best friend is black and im not racist, even he aggres this entire thing is compleat bull shit and has got out of hand. look if you are a police officer and you get a call of a possible burgurly and its a black proffecer carrying on, your not just gona go ok whatever, no your gona do your job and arest him

[sharkdude129]

jesus christ, look i dont care if your a fucking proffessor or if you are some bumb walking the street. black or white it doesnt mater! when a police officer tells you to shut up or puts your hands behind your head, you do what he says. if you say their abusing their power its probably cause you have been introuble with the law several times and you blame it on them. this story has gone way out of hand and the charges have been dropped so he should stop bitching about and move on, ITS OVER

[ghen72]

Truth be told, a white person getting mad about this is like me (a man) fighting with a woman about whether or not sexual discrimination still exists in corporate America. I would be picking a fight on a topic I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, and never could because I'm not a woman.

[zoetropez]

This is not about black or white...it's about blue. It's about police abusing power. Cops get their jollies wielding power. It's a sign of a psychopath, actually. Sure, I spent 10 more years in school than the average pig walking his beat, yet somehow he's an expert on EVERYTHING! How is that possible? Sure, there are good cops. I just don't know any. Black, white, yellow, red--the only color that matters to cops is blue. And they rip-off the people they protect with OT scams and union jobs. BS!

[jamesarongray]

stop putting yourself down for being a man... men have the ability to identify problems weather they directly relate to them or not... just how women are also capable of doing the same.

[singleandfun8]

maybe he should have said thanks for responding so quick to the police ,thank the nieghbor, and went to bed

[ghen72]

What a lot of people who made smart remarks don't realize is that racism does exist. I'm not saying that SOME blacks are not quick to play that card. All I'm saying is UNTIL A COP ACCUSES YOU OF STEALING YOUR OWN CAR, WANTS PROOF THAT YOU LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THERES NO WAY A WHITE PERSON COULD AFFORD IT, OR PULLS A RANDOM STOP AND FRISKS YOU FOR DRUGS JUST BECAUSE WHITE=DRUG DEALER/GANG BANGER W/OUT AN APOLOGY AFTERWARDS, you can't relate.

[cjfilmproductions]

had this been a white man locked out of his house the neighbour would have never called the cops in the first place if this was a white college professor he would have never been arrested in the first place you can defend the cops all you want but the charges were droped because they didn't have a case meaning he should have never been arrested isn't that clear as day.he was arrested for being black in a rich neighbourhood point blank

[p3n15eater]

Random black guy with a cane- owned.

[OnlyReconSon]

Someone explain to me why if a white guy punched a black guy"heavens forbid" it would be a hate crime. But if the white gets punched by a black guy, so what. Black people have blown race way out of proportion, so much that if anything goes wrong its probably racist. I am not racist at all and have many intelligent black friends who agree 110% of everything i just stated. I am just throwing out that some black, and white people need to grow the fuck up, and get their heads straight.

[cjfilmproductions]

because black never hung whites for sport .and when a white guy shout you dumb nigger that is what makes it a hate crime fool its not the punch keep your racist mouth shut you'll be fine regular assault.start shouting racial slurs it becomes a hate crime do you understand? was that clear enough for you?

[sharkdude129]

dude i said the same thing in my post, its got way out of hand of somthing that should not be a big deal the only reason it is becoming one is the black man is a proffessor and i can bet this happens all over the globe and none of it gets reported like this and its all because they are low on their socail rank in society

[BlackBalloonsFly23]

I just wish Presidents would say, "Yeah, I fucked up."

[cjfilmproductions]

right after the racist white cop does.

[cablevsstryfe]

how about mr president...i apologize for not getting all the facts and commenting before i realized the guy i was defending was the problem.

[millacd]

long story short: obama is inexperienced and racist.

[smg1one]

The Cop did his job; The Harvard professor w/ connections in high places (aside from POTUS) was ticked off. Detaining the Professor and having him sit outside his house was necessary to insure that the home was clear of criminals. Taking the Harvard Professor to precinct to process him on disorderly conduct charges in relation to breaking into his own house is a waste of taxpayers money. Even if Race didnt play a role (it obviously did and still is) Stupidity surly played a big role.

[hamace]

Democrats like to omit certain perspectives when discussing issues .Take for instance ,when back on the campaign trail. Obama criticized Americans for not being able to speak many languages ,and then goes to Berlin to address the German ppl. He could not speak a lick of English. Who does he think he is?Obama has so many character flaws. It would appear he spent his life preaching to his choir. So now he speaks out of both sides of his mouth and is always looking to make political poiints

[smg1one]

He was talking about most Americans and he was counting himself as one of us. I liked the fact that W could speak some Espanol, but he wasnt exactly a master of the English language so why raise the bar for POTUS now? Political pointsWhat other kind of point would you expect a politician to make?

[gofucoffee]

NEWSFLASH!! There's been "A LONG HISTORY" of Police "PROFILING" arrests of "LONG HAIRED

BIKER TYPE UNDER FALSE SUSPICION'S IN HISTORY" also!,............ oh..............thats right, thats not "R-A-C-I-A-L P-R-O-F-I-L-I-N-G" EXCUSE THE HELL OUT OF MMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! btw, there were far more "slave ownership" with Muslim Indian's than any race in History! let alone slavery in Africa.

[ohkeepa2009]

your nwo wont happen you sick globalist fuck. This isn't about left or right cuz Bush is just as much at fault.

Search THE OBAMA DECEPTION on youtube. The globalist agenda is set but we have to stop the New World Order. As far as left or right is concerned, there is no right or left only right or wrong. realize the economic collapse was planned. This isn't conspiracy theory, its a matter of control in the hands of a few wealthy people. Know the truth, infowars . com

[mchigubu]

In Africa Black males would be better off. Have u calculated % of Black males in US jails (75 -95%) when Blacks only make 13% of US population? Something is wrong & its RACISM! Have u gone to various US universities to C how many Black males are Masters & PhD programs? Most Blacks u see in these programs are from Africa, so before u vilify Africa, ask yourselves how institutionalized RACISM is doing to Blacks in USA! Theres nothing to brag about when all u see on TV is demonizing of AFRICA

[781230xy]

Racism? U sure about that? Look at WHERE the black population is raised! Most are from very old or cheap neighboorhoods. They are influenced by all the violence and drama in those neighboorhoods and eventually grow up to be just like the people who caused all that violence. Ghetto. X]

[mchigubu]

781230xy Thanks 4 writing 2 me about RACISM. As a Black woman from Africa in USA, Ive experienced RACISM as a professor & have seen how INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM against Blacks works. Ive seen Blacks who earned As in a Louisiana University I taught, had their grades lowered to C-D, without my consultation. When I voiced against such RACIST practices, I was told GO BACK 2 AFRICA & CONTRACT "NOT RENEWED". This is 2004. Ive lived in GA project & BLACKS make up 99.9% & conditions are horrendous

[p3n15eater]

It's 1492, CJ, not 1742. You just keep on screaming. No one cares. The fact is, that blacks in America are far better off than blacks in Africa. Africans aren't migrating here in the millions because they love being oppressed. They are treated better here than they were back home. I like Africans, but black Americans should be thankful that they don't live there. Stop complaining and dividing yourself. We're all Americans, and we're collectively the best people in the world.

[cjfilmproductions]

yes 1492 sorry that wasnt meant to be a rational statement i was pointing out the idocy of saying send black back to Africa

black Americans should be thankful for being persecuted and abused by whites in this country

and as long as i hear statements like "my dog is worth more than your black ass" i will shout from the rooftops to stay quiet is to perpetuate the injustice and it is the reason this has gone on for so long to many people are used to it being used to it does not make it right .

[p3n15eater]

CJ- Black Americans aren't persecuted. You're treated as well as, oftentimes better than, white Americans (who founded this nation). I don't know who said that their dog was worth more, but I sure as hell didn't say that, so stop yelling at and complaining at me. To stay quiet is to give everyone around you a break. Politeness isn't injustice, it's just decency and restraint. Actually, I think rabble-rousing is slowing down the healing process. Whites have done their part. Now you do yours.

[yossarian9]

Why is it hard for me to take anyone named p3n15eater [or PENISeater] seriously?

[p3n15eater]

Haha. I recently sorta took this account from a friend who doesn't like using it often, because I saw alot of really ridiculous comments. I'd make my own account if I weren't so lazy when it comes to computers.

[DGot14U]

Blacks aren't persecuted like we were years ago but we still undergo injustices, like racial profiling (which has led to the death and wrongful imprisonment of too many innocent black men). Crowley teaches classes against racial profiling for a reason.

Plus, there are still huge disparities in income and living standards that persist between blacks and whites today due to yesterday's racism.

[cjfilmproductions]

racism is based on ignorance.white people want to pretend it does not exist because they are so used to it being the status quo.Even our President gets called names all over the net but you want us to tow the line and say yesuum master. in the words of my 65 year old vietnam vet friend go suck a dick

[DGot14U]

WTF???

[cjfilmproductions]

yeah whites have done their part breading social injustice and hate in this country which you fucking conquered not founded wiping out the civilisation that existed hare to near extinction and then enslaving countless black to do the labor blacks built this country it was their blood sweat and tears that built this country and now they still get the short end of the stick.when was the last time you saw a national news story about a murdered black woman or an amber alert for a black kid .

[cjfilmproductions]

the truth is not racism buddy isn't all of this true so how can you say i'm racist for pointing out historical facts

[p3n15eater]

CJ- Whites are the most racially sensitive people on earth. They worry so much about what everyone thinks of them. That's one of their weaknesses. Native Americans are the most pro-US Gov't people around, being predominantly Libertarian (my political stance). As for black slaves- That was a dark period in America's history, as was the Native Genocide, but slaves helped build this country, and are now free to enjoy it. You wouldn't get the same chances in Africa.

[cjfilmproductions]

there is no point in arguing against a completely moronic statement such as that one try again

[p3n15eater]

CJ- Way to excuse your way out of losing an argument.

[cjfilmproductions]

dude you are trying to argue that racism does not exist how can i loose an argument when all the facts are on my side do you think that trying to personally antagonise me and ignoring the facts is winning an argument you have fun with that

[OnlyReconSon]

if by building this country you mean some LABOR then yes. But if you mean building this country to what it is then no. You don't see Tyrone signing the constitution right? Obama needs to realize hes the president and not a celebrity. Every one who blows race way out of proportion is usually black. If i get pulled over by a black cop and pull the "oh you are just hating on me because I'm white" shit i would probably get added time to my sentence for being an asshole.

[cjfilmproductions]

tyrone didn't sign the constitution because of the racism that existed then and still exist now you are just proving my point again and again thank you take a good long look at my profile pic imagine if the situations were reversed.

[minicopilot]

The arresting officer was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in what he did. Gates is playing the race card to the fullest and Obama all but said kill whitey. He fucked up so bad he had to give another conference to cover his ass! He just poured gas on an already racist country and for sure in the North East, particularly in the Boaston and Massachusetts area where racism is alive and well.

[hamace]

Racist country ,try racist world. What is there to like about black ppl. There are many i like, but in general, and especially politically and socially ...I wish we could go back to 1830 and send them all back to Africa. I wonder how many black americans would rather live in Somalia?

[cjfilmproductions]

Go fuck yourself i wish we could go back to 1742 and shoot Columbus in the head so none of you mother-fuckers would ever come here. bitch

[DGot14U]

People are fundamentally the same. Saying you wish blacks could be sent back to Africa shows that you don't believe that. Whatever you may believe is "wrong" with blacks only comes from the injustices that blacks endured in this country. It doesn't come from some inherent difference between blacks and whites. Arguments like that have been used to justify genocide in other parts of the world.

[hamace]

I completely agree with you.But politicially I am fed up with the race arguemnt and all other forms of whinning.For the most part the problem fo blacks is their apparent unwillingess to move on. Is it easy for me to sya? Of course because what blacks have endured is no worse than what all cultures have .

[DGot14U]

"Nowadays it seems fashionable to blame black people for essentially everything and treat racism as something that only exists in history books."

[p3n15eater]

Apologies? Perhaps. They should not be so forced, but a casual acknowledgement of the mistake by Prof. Gates would be well received. The only real apology that should be issued would be from the press, for blowing this story out of proportion. They really need to get out more. Things are going on OUTSIDE the country all the time. Why go looking for little discrepencies like this to make a big deal out of.

[p3n15eater]

Alot of people are making a huge deal out of this. Obama was mistaken and spoke too soon when he claimed the officer had acted stupidly, but it's really no big deal. Sgt. Crowley was following procedure, and acted correctly, and has a history of respect toward blacks and whites alike. Professor Gates was confused and beleaguered, and made a mistake. However, this, too was no heinous crime. He was arrested for disorderly conduct, as he began to shout at Crowley. These are the facts. Accept them.

[chillychubbs]

holy shit wall text comments

[gofucoffee]

ever wonder what it's like to be a "Honky" in todays racist society? how in the hell is 'hate crime" not so if a "Cracka" commits the same-non "Cracka" or non "str8" how bout where the hells Sharpton on the Knoxville Slaughter/Torture of that couple W-T-F!!!

RACISM-R-A-C-I-S-M!!!!!-R-A-C-­I-S-M!!!!!!-R-A-C-I-S-M!!!!!!!­! IF your not qualified for ur job guess what Y-O-U-R- N-O-T & YA Fiyuuud!! qUIT PULLN that race CARD! it's done & over get-over-it!

[hamace]

Theses ppl are exposing themselves everyday. It reminds me of when al the blacks were supporting OJ after he murdered 2 ppl in broad day light. The yall act as if they won something when the articulate Negro was elected.Nothing will change for most of them.

[cjfilmproductions]

listen you racist fuck all the black were not supporting oj you fucking fool.but can you blame the ones who did with the track record of the way justice is handed out in America. just exactly how many members of the kkk were never prosecuted for killing blacks it still happens that an educated college professor gets treated like a normal street thug because he's black rodney king got beat in front of a camera and all the cops got off. amadu diallo was murdered in front of his home the cops got

[mugsymug08]

meanwhile, somewhere in Texas, an ex- president sits on the porch, sipping lemonade, and chuckling to himself. Not so easy when you actually are the president, eh, Barry? Not to worry, your buddies in the liberal media will get busy sweeping this under the carpet for you. or better yet, finding a way to blame this too on George Bush.

[hamace]

Great comment! Bush did a good job despite being left out to dry by the GOP , sorta the way they did Palin .But now Obama has all the support of the media Congress and, oh yea !, our enemies. He speaks more favorably of Hondoran Pres Layala than he does of a Cambridge Policeman. Obama is not even near as smart as Bush was.

[cjfilmproductions]

you still think palin was a good choice? nuff said.

[hamace]

I did not support Palin, sheseems like a nice lady, but Im not sure what she has to do with anything. Why bring her into this? ANd you can call me racist if it make you feel better, I hate no one but have little respect or concern for blacks in general. Balck ppl are their own worst enemy.All the polling , statistics and every conversastion Ive had with a black person support my comments. I don't oppose you, but your black neighbor does.

[cjfilmproductions]

white cops have been getting away with nonsense like this for far to long i am so glad that this happened it bring a nice shiny bright light to the practice of profiling that is destroying our minority communities. conservatives always argue about the abuse of government power in government but only if it affects whites.

[poopjazz1]

Cunt

[big423]

my counse a cambridge ma police officer

[big423]

he fuck

[hamace]

I wonder how long, before Obama learns what the dumbass he succeeded learned along time ago...to shut the fuck up he's a president sure many americans gaze in wonder at anyone on TV.But most of us are just as smart or smarter than he is. He clearly knows little abotu economics and lacks any real class. I mean his wife didn't have the sense to not wear 5000 sneakers to a food bank.

[Leweydagga]

learn to spell about-if you live in a glass house, don't throw stones!!!

[cjfilmproductions]

the dumb-ass he succeeded couldn't say nuclear correctly. President Obama is a very articulate thoughtful man it is the press that decided to ignore thirty minuets of talk on health insurance reform and focus on one of-topic question that was asked don't you see that they are trying to distract us from the real issue of healthcare

[hamace]

The president needs to leave healthcare alone .He suffers from a commons Chigao disease called corruption. WHy else would he meddle in so much , only to fuck everything up. Look at Ford they earned almost as much money as GM's Unions were given by the articulate moron.Obama is a better speaker than Bush was, but that's all. Obama is a disreepsctfull and surprisingly uninformed narcissist, who apparently has you bought.

[cjfilmproductions]

these greedy corporations making a profit don't care about you or you're loved ones it is immoral to profit from health care.we should all share the burden of a healthy society but this is not what obama is doing he is offering us another option i thought having more options would be great people are fucking dying you stubborn misguided fools people are fucking dying

[hamace]

Immoral? WHo appointed you god? Anyone has a right to earn what they can. But the system you speak of is supported by ppl like Bush & Obama.PPl live better today than ever before. ANd guess what everyone dies, but all the facts disprove your paranoia.

[cjfilmproductions]

God? if you don't pay me i will let you die. Any kindergartner would understand why this is immoral. I am not saying doctors should not be paid but the reality is that the cost of health care is artificially inflated to increase profits at the cost of American lives creating a class

disparity in America. Where the peasant are not worth the cost of healthcare.Does the fact that some people live better than ever negate the countless suffering or the desire to improve on the faults in society?

[hamace]

The inflation begins with Federal regulation of medication, and the Feds control of Medicare. The gov is causing the healthcare crisis .Prior to gov involvement ppl could pay for doctors out of their own pocket.I donnot turn to any politician to solve my problems. But so many americans do now, so I am being burdened with their problems.You take care of you and I willl take care of me.I trust god to help me. If you donot so be it. Its your life stop burdening me with it.

[cjfilmproductions]

You mean when the republican congress voted to prevent the American government from negotiating with pharmaceutical companies to lower prices why is it that people don't understand that what they are trying to do is not new this works in most of the civilised world American citizens are suffering more people die from lack of healthcare than from terrorism but we spend billions fighting terrorism and we let poor people die go figure.

[hamace]

Every time Obama meddles millionaires get bailouts. How many homes did he prevent from going into foreclosure??? None that I am aware of. Articulate means nothing. Bush despite complete opposition from Congress had the lowest unemployement #s.He is also a condescending elitist pile of shit who has never done anything more than talk. Bush may have had an easy ride in the Guard, but he did serve. What did Obama ever do for anyone? NOTHING

[cjfilmproductions]

bush started the bail outs or did you forget that already .

obama did stop many foreclosures by making it possible for many  to refinance their homes he can not stop them all but it is not like there were no foreclosures under bush what did he do ?Bush the product of a wealthy father went to the guard to avoid real service Obama turned down work in wall street to become a community activist bringing help directly to the people in need.

Bush is a fucking war criminal a disgrace to America

[hamace]

Absolutely , Bush was completely corrupt. But its toobad the Democrats used all the rhetoric in the world to condemn him, but what did they really do to sotp him???Nothing, Obama is continueing Bush policies not changing them.Obamaturned down nothing ,and he was supported heavily by WS which would explain why he supported the BUSh bailotu. Obama and Bush are no different.Bush is so much worse than a war criminal.But so is Obama, you will see.

[cjfilmproductions]

Had President Obama not continued the bail outs the country would be in a depression right now not just a recession. The truth is they only delayed a depression really because he did not invest enough.due to republican fake outrage they want him to fail so what if they screw us in the proses

read about the depression look at what will happen when the shit hits the fan if President Obama does nothing.

[hamace]

No, Obama did not prevent a depression. WHat he did was prevent Americans from turning from the gov to solve their own problems. The US COngress created the economic situtation we are expreienceing . Subprime lending and maniputlatin realistate values and interest rates caused our problems.Too many ppl are in over their heads. The factr is the bailout money has not aided anyone. It is ied up in foreign banks and thousands per onth are having their homes foreclosed. Nothing has been delayed.

[cjfilmproductions]

So the millions in advertising spent by these corporate predators had nothing to do with suckering people out of the little they had left?It has long been the practice of creditors to get people into insurmountable debt the system is in fact designed to keep people perpetually in debt.on the other side you have continuously rising prices and stagnant wages forcing people to use credit for survival.and my co-worker has his house because of obama so don't tell me what i know

I don't even know what hes talking about but if Obama is selling im buying!

you dumb nigger

[mahnooch81]

first i didn't like obama, but  my opinion has bee changed recently. i think he is a good guy and he isn't not a douche bag like Dick Cheny

[hamace]

I disagree, I think Obama is just as big a asshole as Cheny, and apparently he is as stupid as Bush only Obama is more articulate. Ive never seen anyone more arrogant as Obama.

[captainkill1]

Obama is stupider than bush. correct. He is an absolute retard!!

[7216sp]

Just more poor judgment on his part , and he wants to run your health care , the car busines and ram cap and crape down our throats. NO WAY.

[hamace]

They were not decent ppl. The Cop was doing his job and the black man was being a black man. And now like a black man makes excuses for his behavior rather than just admitting he was an asshole. He like most ppl who attend or belong to Harvard thought he was just better than the lowly cop.

[BoilerRush]

Last time I checked, being an asshole in your home is not a crime. The cop is supposed to be the trained professional. Not the old man that is being quetioned about being in his own damn house.

[Nightmar13]

No but there are laws against Disturbing the Peace and Yelling loud enough to cause a scene and yelling names against officers Aka Verbal Assult. Especially when they had reason to believe that he was NOT the owner of the House and Broke in

[hamace]

I agree, but he apparently was not coopoerating. His credentials were not produced until he was arrested, and barated the cops outside not inside which is distrubing the peace. The solution is less cops not more .Cops are an extention of a government that is getting carried away and putting more restrictions on my movements and freedoms for the sake of safety and other BS excuses. I personally dislike cops, but they were right in this instance.

[MiranUT]

"Whether I am black or white..."

I thought he was black AND white.

[Twisteddreamer78]

"African American".......I know a lot of Black Americans but no African Americans......I even know a Black guy who came here from Africa but he is NOT a African American. He is a Black American.

I am a White American not a European American.

Are Blacks some how less American? Is this why Black people are called "African American" while Whites are called Americans or White Americans?.....Why are Hispanics Americans called Mexicans?

They are not citizens of Mexico.

The list goes on and on......

[Nordicrebirth]

Because if "African Americans" would of been simply called "Blacks" they would take it racially as they always do.

[nbcooler022]

He should have kept his mouth shut from the beginning....presidents shouldn't comment on a trivial local incident like this...too late.

[hamace]

He's seems like a more articulate version of Bush. Stupid as anyone but more articulate. Obama is very disappointing. He has handled just about everything, not only incorrectly, but always seems to add really stupid comments. I think he believes his own press clippings and thinks he can do no wrong.

[nbcooler022]

He looks exhausted....Damn!

[dimaniak]

Stealing a lot of money is really hard

[MoshPitZombie]

This guy has no class. Does he realize he is President? He is still stunned and shocked that people r so ignorant to elect a community organizer as President.

That question was a plant by the Obama Admin to distract from the Health Care Bill Flop he is trying to shove down our throats. Like his other hair brain sceams it back fired, and now he has his foot in his mouth.

With out the white vote, you would  never of gotten to be Prez Mr. Obama.

What has Obama done for the blacks inner citys?

[hrihiratu]

Obama just can not make a sincere apology. This makes his position more bizarre. People know American to be brave, and Obama is not brave enough to admit his mistake.

[hamace]

Not only that, but he's actually trying to spin his arrogance and elevate himself by admitting he was wrong ,without admitting he was wrong.

[bigtex501]

Something the liberal press is keeping a secret that is available to the public.....

obamer while attending Harvard, received 17 parking violations from the Cambridge P.D. It was NOT until 1 week before he announced his run for the Presidency, did he finally pay his parking tickets. It took obamer only 18 years to finally catch up with his fines.

So..... obamer's quite familiar with the Cambridge P.D. and he may STILL have a score to settle with them!

[handsomenubian]

Peter..I don't think that Obama was idiot on contrary he acted like: -the Police did not have all information..they arrest sombody.

-Obama did not have all information ..he said that Police acted stupidly!

there are alot that you can read between the lines in that incident.

[petefredmental]

Idiot. You need to know what your talking about before you speak. I'm talking to everyone Obama and the people that support him.

[bigkyle07]

It is obvious that President Obama is the racist in this matter, he brought the issue to a national level.

[joncarolyn]

Well said Mr Obama. You rock!

[Kalashnikov876]

I would not apologize at all fuck that cop,fuck you all.......

[dantheleo]

It is obvious that Louis Gates is the racist in this matter, he brought the issue to a racial level. obama will learn as the highest offiicer of law in the land to keep his mouth shut until he has all the facts. obama is the one that has propelled this to a national racial level! Yet another mistake on his part!

[9aspengold5]

The president spoke too soon without all the information about the situation. How easy it is to have sympathy for people who cry --racism. Political correctness has gone too far.

[stellarprime]

Eat a dick? You are very intelligent. Why is the president even talking about this stuff? don"t you thing there is more important things to talk about. If the cop was a racist< why would he give mouth to mouth to a black man? I think the other guy was a racist!

[lordcron]

You know. I don't think he had to do that. If it's one thing I like about the Republicans is that they don't apologize for shit they do or say. They will cram some shit down your throat and make you eat a dick up till you hickup if you don't like it. I think the Dems should be the same way. I don't stand behind what he said the first time. Fuck if you don't like it. Eat a dick if you don't and if you respond to this your probly eating a dick as you do. For those who agree right on!

OBAMA HUSSEIN THE GREAT DIVEDER

[runswithscissorsalot]

eekay, learn to spell

[FabulousCutie01]

Obama is soooo racist!

I hate him!

[a466123]

How is he racist??

for telling the TRUTH!!! the cop DID act STUPIDLY for arresting someone in their own HOME. the point is Being an ASSHOLE in your home is not illegal nor a crime!!! The Cop's EGO was bruised because he didn't like a NIGGER talking back to him...AND HE ABUSED HIS POWER...SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!

[hamace]

If you disobey a law enforcement officer , even in your home you can be arrested. Gates is an educated man...he should know that.He thought he could bully the lowly cop. He even said after wards that he was gonna school that cop.Gates is typical and part of the reason why blacks are right where they are since the Civil Rights Act.

[cjfilmproductions]

that is bs we do not live in a police state and if any oficer tries to bully me around in my own home he will probably have to shoot me to keep me from tossing his ass out and if i survive i will sue the motherfucker

[DGot14U]

The law is not the spoken word of a police officer. Officers don't create law, they enforce it. Gates didn't think he could bully the cop. He thought he was being bullied by the cop. Why can't you see that?

He yelled "This is what happens to black men in America!" He wasn't targeting the cop. He believed he was the target of the cop. There's a HUGE difference.

[hamace]

My point about sending blacks back to Africa, is that sometime ppl need to realize how good they have it as opposed to how bad theysay things are and then vote for someone based onthe idea that someone like Obama could some how right all the wrongs done them. The fact is white christians freed slaves from other white christians.I wonder what those who actually were slaves would think about the way blacks have blown opportunities , while Afircans to this day still live as they did 200yrs ago

[smg1one]

Your flamboyant display of ignorance inspires a rather powerful since of violence in me (nice!). 200 years ago, or 100 (Some 69 Americans are known to have been lynched in 1909) white men could get away with killing me with no need to worry about law enforcement arresting him. The law didnt really consider us human much less citizens. I'd like to visit the continent of Africa one day, Ive already lived in Europe but I cant Go Back to a place I've never been.

[smg1one]

Then again I was probably too angry to read what you wrote right. Africa does have issues all its own Europe helped a lot with some of those problems (understatement). As Americans we need to start solving out own real problems rather than trying to ship each other off. Send yourself to Africa youll realize how good you have it too.

[hamace]

I was in Somalia in 1993, where we Americans were given an opportunity to help some really desperate ppl. Instead Bill Clinton chose his approval rating over the plight of the Somali ppl. If we had stayed there for another year 16 yr old boys would not be hijacking merchant vessels. I was appalled at the reaction of americans when the Navy Seals killed 3 of them 5 months ago. While pirating is wrong what choice did these kids have? I wonder if Gates could relate to those poor ppl?

[smg1one]

My point exactly. You can "go back" because you've been there once. Clinton had a habit of abamdoning African nations that needed US help (like Rwanda). Somehow the Bulkans were of vital US interest though... wonder why?

[FabulousCutie01]

Using the term "white man" instead of just "man" or "him" is racist, you idiot! This is at least the third time Obama has done this. Obviously I'm not the only one offended since other people (and that big multi-cultural cop group) have asked him to give a public apology. GET YOUR FACTS BEFORE MAKING STUPID COMMENTS!

[smg1one]

When did using descriptive language become offensive? What If I told someone Im a black man? Or one of my friends described me as the skinny black guy? If I say my friend is Dutch does that make me a nationalist? If I call you a cute asian girl does that make me both sexist and racist? Hmmm I Kinda see your point actually, but I think calling ppl idiots, stupid or racist is a lot more offensive.

[FabulousCutie01]

I only call people idiots, stupid, or racist when they desserve it. *Hint, hint*

[gofucoffee]

This guy's Proof you can have all the "smarts" "brains" "intellect" ya can ever dream of havin' and still be a complete........TOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOLL!

[solarcradle]

Say it again, only this time, "they both acted stupidly." lol

[bleupeony2]

Sgt james crowley twice threatened to arrest me, while I was exercizing my civil rights, documenting and taking photos of Mass state safety Code violationa at street repair sites, performing community service as a Mass Office on Disability trained Community Access Monitor.

Sgt James crowley is responsible for police details, and I was complaining about code violations. perhaps he tried to arrest me as a defense for his not doing a good job, but I object to Colour of Law violations as well.

[haveu4gotten]

No he did not he said he was stupid. You did ma-line him. You are an elitist prick. How many whites can you fit under the bus with your grandmother. You apologize all the time for America but just can't say your sorry I screwed up here. BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA!!!!

[GOTGLOCK29]

Pres. Obama should be an example for all feature presidents. no issue is to big or to small. good job Mr. President. I would like to join you for that beer as well.

[JoeAverage86]

You're funny!

[ColbyPictures]

I agree that race is an issue but he is on camera almost every day! I'm trying to go back to college with out having to worry about getting sick because my family is struggling with health care. So get the fuck away from the cameras and get to work on universal health care Obama!

[GOTGLOCK29]

if you haven't noticed his work is in front of the camera. we spent the last 8 yrs with a president who we didn't know what the fuck he was doing. i find comfort knowing this president is not just sitting back letting his VP run the country.

[JoeAverage86]

You could be the stupidest person everon YouTube.

Obama is a complete disgrace to the country.

He has proven he is a devout racist.

[a466123]

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN.

HOW IS OBAMA RACIST FOR POINTING OUT THE TRUTH. Being an ASSHOLE in your home is not illegal nor a crime!!! The Cop's EGO was bruised because he didn't like a NIGGER talking back to him...AND HE ABUSED HIS POWER...SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!

[ColbyPictures]

Well you gotta love all the serious political debates in the media about health care... Oh wait, they'd rather talk about Obama wearing grandma jeans! And who said what, when... Not that the presidency was not made a mockery of previously but having him in the spot light everyday has "journalists" treating him more like an infamous celebrity than a president.

[soulsearcher99]

It may be uncomfortable to express a reality to those who don't have a clue (not their fault) - but it is needed...the talk about race and the police department's tolerance of black citizens

[lildwayne21]

Absolutely. I'm tired of all these racist police.
