Just for the record, though he really shouldn't have said anything for political reasons, the police officer in the Louis Gates arrest really did behave stupidly. And Gates likely didn't do anything to help the situation as it escalated.

Everybody involved should probably just shut up and let it die. But answering (and then answering with his honest -- even if it was a pretty good summary of things -- view) was a silly misstep by Obama.
