Obama

I'm siding with the cop on this one.

When the President of the United States calls you stupid, based on facts that he does not have, is... well, stupid. The fact that the President of the United States does not understand why calling someone stupid (to the media, no less) is offensive, is... well, stupid. Especially when he knew the question was coming and had time to prepare his canned response. This was not an off-the-cuff exchange.

I was listening to a radio show this morning where people were outright nasty and vicious towards one of the hosts for even SUGGESTING that there was another side of the story than the Harvard Prof.'s.

The cops were investigating a break-in, to a place that had been broken into before. The Prof goes completely ballistic on them, and HE'S the one that first suggested this was race-based. I think it is patently unfair that this cop is now demonized as a racist and a bigot when this does not seem race-based as the actual facts come out.
