great point jty. I was wondering that myself.

0bama freely admitted to not having all of the facts but passed judgment anyway. And this moron sits in the Oval Office.

The MSM does this constantly. Just another reason they worship him.

Seems that either way we go now, it's still a trip to the poor house.

This story just keeps getting stupider. The community organizer in chief has "revised" his statements again.

I've heard some on many sites and venues say that king zero, he of the plummeting ratings, did this on purpose in order to distract and detract from the HC issue. If he did, it was an enormous strategic FAIL. The entire country is up in arms. All the cops hate him (except for some black ones), and the racial divides are starting all over again. Credibility and leadership: Spent.

To be fair, Gates has a long history of the man keeping him down.

Between this and his statement about not wanting victory in Afghanistan if people don't see him for what he really is, I don't know what it will take.

I blame TOTUS

I think if we opened up TOTUS, you'd find a mini-Hillary inside.

But Obama's buds from Chicago get $100 a pound steak and Cham-pain.....the much maligned cop only gets "A" beer?....and no apology? Thanks but no thanks Obama, would be my answer.

Dr. Gates could of just shown a form of ID like a driver's license and this would of all ended. I think he did it as a form of race baiting.

I have this vision of Cujo sitting in his parking lot ticket booth at Logan listening to Howie's fill-in
(who was Col. David Hunt the other day BTW) on RKO. He must be raw from all the self flaggation. I never could figure out if he listened because he liked self abuse or if it was the only station that came in out there on the tarmac.

ETA: WRKO was beating Gates like a rented mule. The guy is a typical pompus Harvard Yard a_hole. I have had to deal with plenty of them of all colors.

What would have happened to Crowley if he didn't ID Gates ? And it turned out not to be Gates? Whoa.

Does Professor Gates have a chip on shoulder? Is he a racist? Is he just arrogant? Or did he get so belligerent cause he's got something to hide.
There are rumors. Hmmmmm.

He did. He showed the policeman his Harvard faculty id card. At which point the Harvard Campus PD were called.

They were witness to Dr. Gates temper tantrum as well.

Gates says it's time to 'move on' from his arrest

By RUSSELL CONTRERAS, Associated Press Writer Russell Contreras, Associated Press Writer â€“ 2 hrs 2 mins ago

BOSTON â€“ Black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. says he's ready to move on from his arrest by a white police officer, hoping to use the encounter to improve fairness in the criminal justice system and saying "in the end, this is not about me at all."

After a phone call from President Barack Obama urging calm in the aftermath of his arrest last week, Gates said he would accept Obama's invitation to the White House for a beer with him and Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley.

In a statement posted Friday on The Root, a Web site Gates oversees, the scholar said he told Obama he'd be happy to meet with Crowley, whom Gates had accused of racial profiling.

"I told the president that my principal regret was that all of the attention paid to his deeply supportive remarks during his press conference had distracted attention from his health care initiative," Gates said. "I am pleased that he, too, is eager to use my experience as a teaching moment, and if meeting Sergeant Crowley for a beer with the president will further that end, then I would be happy to oblige."

It was a marked change in tone for Gates, who in the days following his arrest gathered up his legal team and said he was contemplating a lawsuit. He even vowed to make a documentary on his arrest to tie into a larger project about racial profiling.

In an e-mail to the Boston Globe late Friday, he said: "It is time for all of us to move on, and to assess what we can learn from this experience."

I learned you are a tool that no one heard of till now. I guess he ran out of talk shows.

I like how he'd like to "move on", but wants to still use this as a springboard to maintain himself in the national spotlight.

What a piece of trash
