I did not hear President's news conference Wed night, but reading the news reports I must say that he made a very stupid comment when asked to comment on the events surrounding the arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Harvard professor, in his home Monday, Mr Obama reportedly said:
"Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home."
What makes your remark stupid, Mr. president, is that you did acknowledge not knowing all the facts surrounding the arrest of Mr Gates, yet you issued your judgment about the work of those particular law enforcement officers involved in the incident. Very, very bad and shamefully stupid remark, Mr. President, regardless of anything else involved. You should know better than that!
