and choice of not knowing the facts. I know this is a PJ forum but this needs to be discussed. This sargent is a teacher of an academy to not racial profile, Mr. Gates' home was broken into prior to this and he admitted kicking his own door in, neighbors called police and he refused to show id and made rude comments about the policemen's mother.

    why you saying that? Eddie Vedder can stand on his soapbox and talks politics all the time. He encouraged me to speak on this this thread people. You telling me that I can't write about politics after paying my membership every year? Your acting "stupidly"!!! :lol:

    Do you know the facts? Why are you talking about it without knowing the facts? I can almost promise you neither side is telling the complete truth.

    Have you ever defended a friend that may not have been entirely correct?

    I guess Obama can't express an opinion...kinda like you're doing right now...you assume you know the facts and that Obama doesn't...

    i dont think Obama did know all the facts. the so-called victim was a friend of his. i think Obama should have stayed out of it.

    And there are people who defend him no matter what he does. Like he said, "I do not know all the facts". Maybe he should have said , No comment until I see all the facts of this case. That probably would have been better no?

    going by your logic, you should not be commenting either....unless you were there and "know all the facts"...

    Obama is damned if the does and damned if he doesn't...really, I don't see the big deal...so he didn't blindly buy into the cops story...so what...? he commented...so what...?

    it's amusing how this has turned into a big deal...

    I myself have made the decision of speaking on a subject matter and not knowing all the facts and I didn't like it. In this case Obama should have made a *no comment* comment and let the situation play out. I'm pretty sure he's having second thoughts on what he said and possibly will not make this mistake again whether it's a friend or not. Either way he'll be criticized by the left or the right, the man can't win for losing. :)
