A recently elected black president, lecturing American about race?

Is this an episode of the Twilight Zone?

I am sorry but the whole quote “I could have calibrated those words differently” is really a poor way to say that he should have chosen his word with more care. I honestly do not know any people who would use such an odd word to say such a simple thought.

Apparently, you don’t know any lawyers. I’m happy for you. Washington, DC is overloaded with lawyers, and that is the root of our problems. We need more substance (Engineers), and less bullshit (lawyers)–IMHO.

If he truly understood racism he’d realize it goes both ways . . .
I guess the white man isn’t worthy of an apology.

Still thought the most telling moment was when Gibbs came on after and was asked about the fact that these questions are previewed prior to the press conference. Knowing that, why would the President still use the term “stupidly” when he knew the question was coming?

Gibbs completely avoided the entire question and said he couldn’t get into the President’s thoughts.

Then what the hell are you doing up there, you tool?!?!?!

Poor Gates. Lives in a seriously racist society:

Gates Mayor is a black female.
Gates Governor is black.
Cambridge Police Commissioner is black.
His president (pardon the expression) is black.

And he has risen to the dept chair position of a world renowned university. Poor Gates. He is so freakin picked on and stereotyped and profiled. Screw you scum bag!!!!!
