The Mouth That Roared

7/22/2009 Per OBAMA Cambridge Police are----- STUPID

7/23/2009 Per OBAMA I stand by my comment. Public is outraged. Ratings in Polls drop

7/24/2009 Per OBAMA I have EXTRAORDINARY RESPECT for the police.

Perhaps, perhaps not, we are going on the word of a habitual prevaricator. What we may draw from this event, Obama will FLIP FLOP on an issue at the drop of a hat,if it involves his ratings. One should bear in mind, his personal convictions don't necessarily change, these turnarounds are for public consumption only.

Obama on Friday stood by his assertion that police did not need to arrest Gates. The president said during an interview with ABC that he has "extraordinary respect" for the challenges and hardships that law enforcement officers face every day in their line of work. But at the same time he said he didn't think the arrest was necessary. Obama said "cooler heads should have prevailed" in the incident.

Friday's comments from Obama came after he backed off a statement he made the day before that Cambridge police "acted stupidly" during the July 16 incident. He said he never intended to call the officer "stupid" for arresting Gates on a disorderly conduct charge, which was dropped. Crowley, a police academy instructor on the dangers of racial profiling, said earlier in the day that he did nothing wrong and will not apologize to Gates. The professor didn't speak publicly Thursday.
