Lynn Sweet "Surprised" Obama Said Cambridge Cops "Acted Stupidly"

Chicago Sun-Times Lynn Sweet, who raised a question about Henry Louis Gates to President Obama - who said Cambridge Sgt. James Crowley "acted stupidly" by arresting Gates -

"I was surprised he used that 'stupidly' phrase," Sweet says. "You can be judgemtnal without using that type of language."

She adds that she "got a lot of flak" from readers for not asking a healthcare question at the press conference, and denied that she was "a plant".

obama hates white people and hates america. this certainly isn't shocking.

THE MOnster told you idiots!

Is this the change you retards voted for?

1. Obama is an angry black Socialist Muslim with a chip.

2. This is why his friendships with Rev. Wright and William Ayers was so important.

Thank God for Gates! He was the catalyst for Obama showing his true colors.

What is the "teachable moment" here folks?

Don't elect a black to public office...

Mark Brown,Carol Marin and throw in Lynn Sweet they are all Government Operatives this fetish they have about criticizing the Ex-Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich is starting to get disgusting.

@IPOMonster my lord obama never said anything as negative as you just did you racist

[sarahgittel]

@jippyjester Obama hates America. He has signaled too the Muslims that now is the time they can Win The Future.

He does not respect the constitution, and he has not yet proved that he is legally eligible to be occupying the White House

[jippyjester]

@mattrmc19 i think you are a little confused....obama sticks to the american constitution concept far better than previous presidents.....therefore i would say he loves america by definition.....im assuming you are pro-republican so i would say this: Bush used 9/11 to bring in the most dangerous changes to law since Nazi Germany, essentially turning the West into a huge police state......research it a little before commenting, yes? lol

@ushouldntjudgeme The teleprompter did'nt have an answer for him so he had to show his true colors.

[Shargrailar]

Racially profiling white cops is ok now I guess.

If a black cop comes to my house following up on a possible B&E call can I insult his mother? refuse to show my id? then when he arrests me say "its because I am white?".

My ancestors were persecuted at some point in history (that I was not around for) so does that mean I deserver extra rights and protections? reparations?

I already know the answer is no, because I am not a victim and I have common sense.

I hope Obama users more judgment with the nukes he is control of now

once the button is pushed ?

Obama still does not see he racial profiled the white officer, made some inciteful comments about how blacks are treated by whites for more victim hood but it backfired on him.

And Obama cant use how concerned he was about a race issue when ex=president Carter call most americans a racist for disagreeing with his tax hikes and spending, Obama remained silent?

so he agreed with Carter

[ushouldntjudgeme]

Obama had no business commenting about this case!!!! Obama's childish reaction to this situation reduces the office of the president of the United States to being a hall monitor or a mediator in disputes. He is an attention hungry idiot to be involved in Gates' little tantrum.
