I am now convinced that Sgt. Crowley is a good cop (I never doubted it)and that Gates is a good professor. They both may have overreacted, understandably, to stress and things got heated and out of hand.
It happens to the best of us. My question is: What about Obama? Why did the president charge into a controversy without knowing the facts and call the police stupid? Obama is the one we elected, and he should keep his snap judgments to himself and take the time to learn the facts before he speaks.
I also dislike the fact that he called doctors crooks by implying, in the same press conference, that they would take out healthy tonsils just to make extra money.

[…] Dick Morris And Eileen McGann: Gates and Crowley are OK But What About Obama […]
I for one thought the question from the LA Times reporter was deliberately planted for Obama, however, the reporter says no. If we take her word on that, then what is left are the words chosen by Obama.
After watching the tapes many times, it sure looks like he searched for a very poignant word. The word ‘stupidly’ was, I believe, deliberate to show his disdain. Since Obama and Gates were friends and Obama is a lawyer he should know about conflicts of interest and offered no comment.
More importantly it shows what I believe is an anger he holds in until a button is pressed. I am always suspicious about people who show no emotion, there is something underlying about them.
