http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/...article1229269/ I think Obama screwed up by commenting like he did. Sure, the professor is his friend, but he also admitted he didn't know all the facts. He has smeared the whole police department and insulted cops everywhere when he could have stopped with not knowing all the details. If it is true that the professor was belligerent outside his home, after he was seen by neighbours trying to pry his door open, then I don't have too much problem with the police taking him in. |

I completely agree with you on this one Ess, in fact you've said all that I can think of saying on the issue. Obama has done himself no favours wading in on this one. |

I think that Obama should have said NOTHING. I mean he didn't know the facts, or anything. It's up to the police to do their job and they did it. enough said. |

Agreed. I heard the arrested professor in an interview he did with journalists on BBC radio 1 the other day and his argument was: Prof: "The officer was being vulgar and racist." Journo: "How so? What did he say?" Prof: "Oh he didn't say anything racist, but I saw it in his eyes and in his manner." Utterly ridiculous. I think the shaking heads on this one might signal the end for Obama's honeymoon period. |

This guy on Fox says that Obama is racist due to his slip in words. Click here to go to the story. |

Well, if the Rupert Murdoch owned Fox said Obama is racist... ...I can't think of a way to end that sentence without either laughing or my piss boiling. Don't get me wrong, I like the Sun and I don't mind Newscorp, but Rupert Murdoch needs knocking down a peg or two. It annoys me how he uses his media outlets to influence elections in the UK. Democracy?!?! Well sh*ts to that idea, I own a f**king newspaper... Old c**t. As for Obama, simple solution here: if something has absolutely nothing to do with you, probably a goed idea not to say anything :rolleyes: |
