The incident, Obama said, shows "how race remains a factor in this society."

Yeah, he's not even being subtle. Going right out and bluntly saying that racism was involved.
Here is what i don't get, and where i agree that Obama doesn't know all the facts, he wasn't arrested for B/E, he was arrested for being a prick...which the cops are allowed to do..there is something to be said for respect and apparently he did not show it. I mean wouldnt you want the cops to ask for ID when investigating a B/E at your house? Would ya? Imagine if the cops took his word and they were wrong...

But ya bad move on Obama's part
