(July 24) -- As President Obama tries to keep the focus on health care reform, coverage of the issue is being drowned out by the uproar over his remark about the Cambridge, Mass. police.

Obama is standing by his statement that police "acted stupidly" in arresting Henry Louis Gates in the black Harvard scholar's own home. But he's tempering his criticism by telling ABC the white sergeant who arrested Gates seems to be an "outstanding police officer."

Police Commissioner Robert Haas says he "deeply regrets" the incident, but he insists Sgt. James Crowley acted properly and was not motivated by race. The Cambridge police union president isn't being as diplomatic. He accuses Obama of smearing the reputation of the police."I am disgraced that he is our commander-in-chief," says Stephen Killion.

The GOP echoes that theme. Politico's Glenn Thrush reports the National Republican Congressional Committee is peppering the Massachusetts media with statements "portraying the president as a cop-bashing liberal."

 

This guy just gets worse for our Nation.

Kimberely, I don't think he "gets worse"....it's the same man we've had along...it's just that NOW, we are seeing the TRUE Barrack Obama.
