May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

The Cop, The Professor, The President

In Cambridge a woman sees a man breaking into a house and calls the police. They get there, and the guy, instead of complying starts yelling at and not complying with the police requests, so they arrest him.

It turns out the guy is Henry Louis Gates Jr., a black racist Harvard professor, breaking into his own house. The police were there to protect his house, and now he's saying they gave him grief only because he was black, and is demanding an apology from the arresting officer. He was arrested for disorderly conduct. He initially refused to show his ID, allegedly saying, “this is what happens to a black man in America” and “you don’t know who you’re messing with” before he was arrested, and police said he was uncooperative. Charges have been dropped, and the officer refuses to apologize...good for him. He followed protocols, the racist professor had refused to cooperate and made this a national issue. He's a friend of Obama. Great time to get in the limelight.

Our Dear Leader weighed in after his health care propaganda speech: "Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof he was in own home." Obama also commented that he didn't know all the facts of the case.

Being a racist himself, Obama's initial reflex tells true. He sided with the racist Gates before he had the facts.
