Both Gates and Obama are pretty dumb.

"Constitutional scholar" Obama wasn't smart enough to zip his mouth instead of maligning a man on international TV.

"English scholar" Gates wasn't smart enough to stick to conversational English while dealing with a law enforcement officer who was protecting his home.

My admiration for Juan Williams as a truth teller has grown volumes over the last six months. I don't always agree with him, but I believe he is telling the truth as he sees it.

It's a pleasure to see people on the left side of the spectrum that are truly intelliegent and well informed that do not behave like hacks like Stephanopolous and Andrea Mitchell, NBC News. 

Juan is honest in his analysis and that is the very reason why he earns much respect.

2010: A GOP Hill

Presumably Juan is a descendant of slaves.

Obama grew up in Singapore, the son of an African Arab and an American white woman.

Juan knew what American Ghettos were like.  obama saw some pictures once.

Juan suffered through years of racism.

Obama never did.

Obama never saw an inner city slum until, relying soley on the color of his skin, went into the slums to use the poor Blacks for his own personal political agenda.

He has no ties to any American Black sufferings or discriminations.

Strictly due to the color of his skin, American Blacks willingly allow him to use them, their history, and their families suffering for his personal pleasure. Because he certainly does not care what happens to them, as long as he gets to be important.

I've heard that Juan's son is a Republican. I think he mentioned this on the Fox panel one night. Perhaps Mr. Williams is a little more conservative than he lets on. Remember NPR didn't think he was keeping true to his liberalness a while back.

Juan's really hit the nail on the head with this one.

Who's going to take this to the next step first? That being the late-night comedy shows. Letterman? If this isn't late-night material, I don't know what is.

But don't bet on it. Can't make fun of Obama -- that's racist, you know.

I am a cop and from what facts I have heard on the news, it appears the officer in this incident...DID NOT ACT STUPIDLY, (president Obama). When I respond to a residential alarm, and come into contact with someone at the residence, I always ask for identification. There are two reasons for this. I know most of you being common sense conservatives are already way ahead of me:

First, I need to determine that the person I have contacted at the location is authorized to be there.

Second, most people expect us to ask for ID, and if we don't, we may get a complaint filed against us.

Our primary job as law enforcement officers is to safeguard lives and property. If I come across someone acting like that Harvard professor, you can bet he or she will be detained until I complete my investigation. People like that professor acts this way because he wants us to tuck tail and run.

By the way, a word of caution to those of you out there with your cell phone cameras and other recording devices being used to target us. We have our toys too. So when you call my sergeant to make false accusations about what I said or did to you, stand by. We protect ourselves as well. We record too.

It is far better to be three hours early than one minute late.

Williams: "I grew up in Brooklyn during the ‘60s, and had...sort of a tense
relationship with police- especially white police- as a young, black
kid.”

I'm a white male a good deal younger than Williams. So I can't speak to his situation. But when I was a kid me and my friends also had a "tense relationship with police." Usually it was because we were either up to no good or thinking about it (hot-rodding, drinking, etc.). Sometimes we weren't doing anything wrong, and they'd still look at us - just in case.

I don't think that's a unique male teen experience. But my parents taught me to blame myself for misery I caused myself. I came away from it learning that good behavior would keep me out of trouble.

But if you're brought up in a culture that tells you from birth that cops just hate you for your skin, you're going to have a whole different perspective. I can't imagine what I would have thought of cops if I weren't raised to recognize the relationship between my actions and their "hassling me."

. . . . get the smelling salts. I think I'm going to faint!!

Matthew, you missed the most important part at the end of Juan's comments, the subtext was about class not race.  Here's the real poop: Both Obama and Gates don't believe those in power and those who's friends are in power are subject to the laws the rest of us have to live by.  This is the essence of elitism. There are plenty of Black or White or Hispanic people who are arrested by the police for disorderly conduct because they thought the police intruded on their little universe. None of their arrests rises to the level of presidential comment by Obama because he personnally doesn't know them.

Gates was merely playing the race card on the white officer because he believed it was leverage over him.  Don't think for one minute Gates didn't see the Black and Hispanic cops, he was playing an angle for his faux outrage for manipulation purposes.  He wanted to instill fear in the police, it backfired and Obama, the arrogant self important elitist he is, walked right into it.

Here's the real deal with Obama and his friends, what's the point of power if you can't exercise it?  Welcome to the arbitary enforcement of the Law in a world were elites rule and the law only applies to other people.  If Geithner doesn't have to pay his taxes without consequence or make an extortion demand on the CEO of BofA without the FBI frog marching off to a holding cell all because they are friends and cohorts of Barack Obama, then what more do you need to see the point of what Orwell wrote about the exercise of power for it's own sake.  What Obama, Gates and others are about is power, not democracy or self governance.  What people should really be upset about it is that Obama thought he could get away with using his office to wrongfully abuse his power.  Both of these men knew exactly what they were doing and that makes them enemies of the Republic and of the People.  For this act alone, Obama should be impeached. Why else do you think Obama said he should have "calibrated" his comments differently? One apologizes for wrong doing or misdeed, one only "calibrates" for a different response. Obama is a lawyer by training, calibrate is a term used to avoid apologizing, and apologizing is an admission of wrong doing.  Obama is not sorry for what he did, because he doesn't believe what he did was wrong, he is sorry we responded negatively to his detriment.  It's just another way of insincerely saying, "I'm sorry you feel that way" without acknowledging you did something wrong.
