Why Obama Acted Stupidly in the Gates Arrest
July 28th, 2009 by JR Griggs
Let me first start off by clarifying the title of this post. I do not mean this post to prove that Obama acted “stupidly”, that is a given. I mean it to show why he did and will probably continue to do so.
As you know by now, Henry Louis Gates, a Professor at Harvard, was arrested outside his home for disorderly conduct. Not for breaking into his own home as you have heard the media report. A neighbor witnessed Gates and another man busting through the front door. The door apparently did not open correctly do to a previous break in (hmm I wonder why the neighbor was suspicious). Gates had to use force to get in. This of course to a neighbor does not look right so she called the police.
You can here in the audio call that she states that she does not know if it was the owner or a burglar. She was very clear about that. She also did not give a description of the men as she did not see them very well.
Srgt. James Crowley responded to the call as you can read here. He asked for Gates ID and was repeatedly yelled at and called a racist by Gates. This actually sounds real typical of Gates as you will learn by just searching for his speeches on YouTube. After much hassle and much yelling from Gates Crowley decided to leave the residence and not pursue the matter. While attempting to leave Gates continued to call Crowley racist in front of onlookers. After a couple warnings that he could be arrested for disorderly conduct, Gates continued to yell. It was at that point that he was arrested.
I don’t care what race or gender you are you would go to jail for doing the same. But since Gates in my opinion based on his speeches is a racist himself, he had to make a scene. Guys like Gates will cry the race card if you take too long checking them out at the grocery store. Sadly there are many out there like him that love to keep that divide between whites and blacks as active as they can.
Obama and Gates
So for some reason as Obama heard about the case, he stated that the Cambridge police acted “stupidly” and then said that this country has a history of racism by police officers. Surprised? I’m not. That is who Obama is. Him and Gates are along the same mindset. America is bad, and the white man is to blame. Just read his books. Again anyone who researched Obama for more than 5 minutes would know this.
It is that attitude that is the problem today with racism in America. And until the Black community stands up and tells them to sit down and shut up, it will never go away. Guys like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Henry Louis Gates and Barack Obama, prostitute the black community for financial and political gain. They will work very hard to keep a divide there. They have to keep racism alive. Why? Because without racism, guys like Jackson, Sharpton and Gates are out of a job.
Do some more digging on Obama and Gates and you find that Gates is another one of Obama’s friends that he did not like to talk about before the election. Gates is a huge supporter of Obama and gave lots of money. But I’m sure that’s just a coincidence like Ayers right?
Oh and the fact that Obama was issued 17 tickets by the Cambridge police had nothing to do with it either.
Why?
Without knowing any of the facts why would someone, especially the President of the United States say something like that so quickly?
Well as you can see one reason why he said what he said was because of his beliefs. It is not hard to see what Obama really believes about America and the “typical” white person as he has called his grandmother. He will always believe that way and side with guys like Gates. It is who he is, it didn’t matter what the facts were and never will. That is why he refuses to apologize and will not until the pressure gets to be too much.
But one more reason why he would make such a blatant statement like that. Because he did not know he was not supposed to. See you have to keep in mind that we elected someone who has no management experience, no business experience. He has not yet learned when not to say certain things on his mind. He is kinda like the new manager at work that you know shouldn’t be there and you just know that for the first few years he is going to say some really stupid stuff.
For some reason I am also reminded of the movie “What a Girl Wants”. You know the one where the girl finds out her dad is an important government guy in England and when she visits he is running around on egg shells just praying that she doesn’t offend people and do something stupid.
Yeah that’s what happens when you elect someone with no leadership experience, so you can expect it a lot more.

Here’s what I love:

This VERY SAME officer was the one who tried to resuscitate Reggie Lewis. This very same officer gave racial sensitivity classes.:
“… we heard a lot about Sergeant Crowley, how he gave these racial sensitivity classes at the academy, how he resuscitated or tried to Reggie Lewis, the Boston Celtic player who died, and we heard a lot from his African-American colleagues on the force.”

Can a person be arrested for being unruly and uttering derogatory remarks to the police on his own property?
If so, we can all understand why the authorities in Iran and China feel compelled to protect public order by imprisoning street protesters.

Absolutely they can and it is not even close to what China does.
Are you saying that if your neighbor was out in his front lawn in the nude you would be OK with that and it should not be illegal since he is on his own property?
You’re questioning the law that was enforced but the issue here is not about the law.
The issue is that the President of the United States has pretty much called a Police Officer racist because the person he happened to enforce the law on was black.
