Will he ever learn to avoid preaching on issues without ALL the facts?
Now Obama takes the low road and comments on a low level semi-racial issue…

Some FACTS are:

This took place in ultra-liberal Cambridge…within the state of Teddy, Frank and Kerry.
A neighbor called to report potential burglars when she saw 2 men trying to get into a house.
Race was never mentioned by the caller.

A white cop, a black cop and a hispanic cop showed up in response to the call.
(The 16 year vet white cop was chosen by his black boss to head up the “racial profiling” for the dept)

The Afro-Am Studies prof was asked for proof he lived there. He did not own the house.
The Harvard prof mouthed off from the start, never let up and was NOT engaged by the cops.

As the cops left into the yard the prof continued loudly mouthing off abusively.
The rant IS on tape…they are debating releasing it. (I hope they do)
=====
But “the uniter, the racial healer” Obama could not resist a lecture…and condemning without the facts.
Update: 1:35pm Obama tries to smooth this out but continues the sermon and goes on and on needlessly with a half apology.
BLACK POLICEMAN: I WAS THERE, GATES ACTED STRANGELY, SUPPORTS ARREST ‘100%’…
=====
Perhaps a reason Obama popped off:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama got more than an education when he attended Harvard Law School in the late 1980s. He also got a healthy stack of parking tickets, most of which he never paid.

The Illinois senator shelled out $375 in January — two weeks before he officially launched his presidential campaign — to finally pay for 15 outstanding parking tickets and their associated late fees.

The story was first reported Wednesday by The Somerville News.
