Obama Comments Further on Gates Arrest Controversy
Friday, July 24, 2009
I'm glad to see President Obama speaking in more depth about the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates by Cambridge, MA police. As Obama says, "these are issues that are still very sensitive here in America." I also share Obama's hope that this becomes a "teachable moment" instead of simply a chance for talking heads to spew hot air and stupidity. Finally, I hope we can now turn our attention back to health care, an issue which affects everyone in this country, whatever their race (or religion or ethnic group or...).
