Rarely has a President been more obviously wrong and shown to be so as quickly.

Aside from the process error ( compounded by the likelihood that the question about the Cambridge incident was "planted" with Lyn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times as the "last question and therefore thought out rather than completely spontaneous ) that the President should not wade in on a local matter without knowing the facts, he took sides without knowledge and incorrectly related it to racial bias, especially racial profiling. The one thing which is absolutely clear about this incident is that racial profiling had no role in it.At least there was none on the part of the police officer; there likely was some on the part of Prof. Gates who immediately assumed, and started a rant about the racism of white police officers.
Despite this-now-obvious point, both Obama and Gates continue to try to defuse and portray this incident as a "teachable moment", not about false charges of racism, but about "racial profiling."
Liberals make a big deal about the disorderly conduct charges being dropped but they were after Gates' lawyer called the mayor of Cambridge to note that Gates was supported by the black Governor of Massachusetts and the black President of the U.S.
Obama's claim to be the "post-racial" President rings hollow.
