No, it really doesn't.
Obama was friends with Gates from his time at Harvard and understood well his position in the race debate as well as his academic position. It's quite reasonable to think that Obama was given poor early information, as the media got the first reports wrong, and made a comment based on emotion for an old friend.
This isn't to say Obama is without fault, certainly as US President he should have been more measured.
