Not surprisingly, Chris Matthews today chalked Obama's comments up to him being tired - afterall, he gets up at 5 and had been at it all day by the time he made these comments at 8 in the evening...
1) I doubt Gates needed to be arrested. That said I have not read the reports so I guess this makes me qualified to be POTUS.
2) The current leader of the free world is a lightweight, borderline fool. He can speak clearly and understands the definitions of multisyllabic words. Big deal, he is still a fool.
3) The whole inviting the parties involved to the White House for a beer is George Bushesque. Enjoy your change people. But he is sooooo insightful and thoughtful.
4) The nation will need to view this administration as a "teachable moment."
Looks like race was not mentioned (or even known) by woman who made the 9-11 call.

Of course this hasn't stopped Gates for claiming she made the call because he's black...

Juan Williams has supposedly heard a recording made by Officer Crowley's personal voice recorder. On it, he heard Gates calling Crowley a "MFer" among other things. Should the Cambridge PD decide to release all audio of the incident, Gates' career could be over.

To his eventual embarrassment, he wrote in his Yale application:
"As always, whitey now sits in judgment of me, preparing to cast my fate. It is your decision either to let me blow with the wind as a nonentity or to encourage the development of self. Allow me to prove myself."
I dare say his response is somewhat steeped in Imperialistic White America.It wont!! He will somehow become the victim. It was the hundreds of years of oppression by White America that caused him to make an irrational statement to the officer. It was not meant in disrespect, but just a natural response to the injustices that Black Americans have faced at the hands of Imperialistic White America. Amen
