The Conservative Sensei

If you watch any news at all (especially if you watch the Main Stream Media) you can not have missed the great outreaching of passion and understanding that BHO has illustrated with regard to the Professor Gates scandal in Cambridge, MA.  Yes, the savior of our Republic has decided that rather than admit that he was wrong and guilty of racism by openly admitting that he didn’t know all of the facts of the case and still finding himself qualified to state that the Cambridge police acted stupidly.  Obviously, it is a common fact in this country that police always target minorities.  I mean, it couldn’t possibly be anything else, right?  It is completely appropriate for the Leader of the free world to assume race was the primary factor involved in the situation.  Further, it is even better to do it during a primetime news conference about healthcare.  Makes complete sense to me.

The most troubling fact of this whole situation is that the President of the United States when put in a situation to not default to ones race, did the exact opposite.  Based on his own pre-conceived ideas of what white cops do, he chose to soil the reputation of a good cop in MA and now thinks that because he is having him over for a beer, everything is going to be ok.  Professor Gates was not racially profiled, he was caught in a really silly situation that could have easily been defused if he had not decided to be disrespectful to the police officers involved.  Two of the three officers happened to be minorities as well (black and latino).  They both, and they were actually there during the arrest, have stated that the Sergeant that made the arrest acted appropriately and support his actions completely.

If anyone needs to learn something from this it is BHO.  Racism is wrong, right?  I guess that doesn’t apply if you are the President.
