Teaching Moment
Apparently, Obama is "walking back" his Gates comments [did anyone actually read them, or just one line?]. So, he thinks the arrest was reasonable now? Or, racism is less of but still a societal problem that leads to honest misunderstandings? Uh no. He talked to each side, and now basically says both are great guys who acted badly. Uh huh. Sane sorts believe he is coming off as a crafty politician/adult.
