Published July 24, 2009 08:07 pm - It seems that President Obama has stuck his nose where it doesn’t belong — again.
In his ill-timed statement about the Cambridge police department he has undermined all police departments across the country. Now he has played the race card. He didn’t know the facts. The Cambridge police were reporting to a crime in progress. There was no racial profiling involved. An educated Harvard scholar should know better.


Voices: Stupid words



It seems that President Obama has stuck his nose where it doesn’t belong — again.

In his ill-timed statement about the Cambridge police department he has undermined all police departments across the country. Now he has played the race card. He didn’t know the facts. The Cambridge police were reporting to a crime in progress. There was no racial profiling involved. An educated Harvard scholar should know better.

He created the scene and then called it racial profiling. His neighbor was just being a good citizen in reporting a crime in progress. It is funny though that his neighbors didn’t recognize him. Does he even know his neighbors? My neighbors know me and had this happened to me they would have offered their help.

Once it was determined that it was his residence, he should have thanked the officers for responding. The officer has stated that he will not apologize for doing his job. I hope he doesn’t bow under pressure. Stupid, stupid words Mr. President.
