Spence, here’s how an honest person processes the Gates attest, given neither of us was there.

The charges against Gates were dropped, so his conduct wasn’t that disorderly. The officer wasn’t disciplined, so presumably it was concluded he acted in good faith.

Yet Obama didn’t put any of the blame on his friend, and pointed to centuries of racism. And as always, you get the tingle in your leg at the brilliance of his words, you get weak in the knees like a kid at a New Kids On The Block concert.

Actually Obama was saying that just because of a history of racism we don't know enough to claim it was a factor here. And getting arrested in your own home unless there's a damn good reason is pretty stupid.

Interesting . . . so damned good reasons are not required for getting arrested outside of your home.
