Mon Jul 27, 2009
- When I read this, I noticed that the caller(s) never mentioned race, BUT they were also clear that they were not sure it was a break in AND they spoke about seeing suitcases.

- Mike in A- Nothing I can think of to say would not sound like an attack so just know I read your comment, but as I ave grown tired of arguments, I will wait for Chuck to hopefully respond. If not, I will take it as a subject he/MSNBC would rather not address.

- Hi Chuck!
Should President Obama have said Cambridge police 'acted stupidly' in arresting Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.?

- It was stupid among other thoughts.

- And of course when seeing this, actually saying something about it, and saying how wrong it is to 'allow' that type of behavior to occur in any 'form'...

- Ellie, I agree with you about churches. I visited a church in Stone Mountain Ga with a Black friend. I was pulled aside and told I was always welcome to return if I did not bring my friend.

- I think this man speaks his opinion as he should but it is HIS opinion. To say he is right because he said it and perhaps for some because he is a Black person saying it does not make it a fact, it makes it his opinion.

- I am a huge fan. I have not seen this one yet, but I am waiting for a relative to visit me before I go. I am a Christian and have heard all the negative rhetoric so your comment about the church camp surprised me.

- EVERY News outletincluding the TV Guide has showed the entire clip. The only two sources that have not shown it to my knowledge is CSPAN and PBS. It will be replayed for at least a week. Then we will hear about the children and the toxicology reports.

Viewpoint: The Stupidity of the Gates Arrest
Source: TIME
The President was right when he called the arrest stupid. It doesn't mean Crowley is stupid. It means that, in that moment, he made a stupid choice.

Comments & Feedback

You state that he has done a great job with the mess he was left and with the antics of the GOP. Unemployment, decreases in GDP, etc. did not nosedive until AFTER President Obama's administration was sworn in. Even if you assume that this is just the delayed effects of Bush policies, everyone agrees that his handling of the crisis has been hamfisted. New administration? Sure and I am sure they will get better at the job. But can you HONESTLY say that the administration's first 100 days have been "A" work?

Also, as for the "GOP antics," exactly what antics are you talking about? If you haven't noticed, the electorate has thrown the bums out and put in Democrates. The Democratic party controls the House, Senate, and the White House. With the recent switch of Sen. Spectre, they will not only have a majority, the Democrates will have a filibuster proof majority.

Personally, I think a strong opposition party is necessary as a check to the overweaning ambitions of the ruling party. Remember the whole "Checks and balances" thing the Constitution and founding fathers tried to establish?

I do not know how old you are but the bill for the current government expansion is going to come due just about the time I am ready to retire (or at least had hoped to retire). There is no such thing as a free lunch!

I really enjoyed your posts on LiseEd's article (ha, article), rant, or whatever it was.

I too voted for our President and, while I have some real concerns about the spending and deficits, I am just tickled pink to be living in our country again.

Thanks for your defense of his policies. As tiring as it is confonting the rubbish I am glad that people like you are on the case.
