He said that arresting Gates was stupid. And as it turns out, the preponderance of legal opinion is that he was right about that. However, there's a whole other thread about that.
This one is about how bat**** crazy Glenn Beck is. And... he really is. That is a man who needs some professional help.

Here is the Video of Obamas reaction

Here is what the cop says (1 other white cop, 1 black cop, 1 hispanic cop all on scene at the time confirm story).

And just in case. Here is Gates himself indicating that even his flaming left wing friends thought Obama called the Cambridge Police Department stupid

Here are "Captain Loves to give Speeches" actual quotes...
Obama - Cambridge Police acted Stupidly
Obama - Long history of african amercians and hispanics being stopped by law enforcement dispraporionately
4 polcie officers, 2 white, 1 black, 1 hispanic give the same accounting of the story. I know the blue curtain is long, but Obama wasnt misquoted, he said those things. Its also not a valid excuse that he didnt have all the facts. If you dont have the facts you dont speak out publically.
So Cambridge police arrest a black man. Obama says they acted stupidly doing so. He then says that police have history of targetting blacks more than whites (I guess in Iowa that isnt considered racist, in Calgary that is, well at least I think it is). Where I come from 1 + 1 = 2.
Had he not said anything this would be a non issue but he is addicted to the sound of his own voice and so he decided to weigh in on something he had no idea about. He also is addicted to this idea that he is somehow the spokesman for the entire black race - "Black Jesus" so to speak (because we all know how terrible it must have been to grow up in hawaii and to live with your grandparents).
Also, I love how he subtly sucked up to the latino vote. Gots to love politicians.
I wonder what cops would do to me if I refused to give identification and called them a racist. White on white racism - its spreading like Kelowna wildfire
