So Obama gets a pass for talking out his ass and calling a police dept stupid. Now he gets another pass for this. How many free rides are you going to give this moron?
the bottom line is the case was dropped due to the fact that these guys were protected by THE LAW. a law "created" by a white man, upheld by a black man, & "protected" a group of black men. sounds to me like you issue should be with BUSH.

lol, I ca't believe you're still stuck on the gates thing. in all fairness, gates was on his PRIVATE property. isn't it conservatives who always demand freedoms & less government? why shouldn't gates or ANYONE be able to say whatever they want to whomever they want when on their personal property. if we to go by your "standards" then obama has every right to come to YOUR private property, & arrest you now for calling him a racist on a PUBLIC forum.
