Last night, Barack Obama took a question regarding the incident at Harvard University involving black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was seen byneighbors trying to force his way into his home and then initially refused to provide to responding officers who arrived on the scene in response. My thoughts on Obama’s irresponsible comments are posted here.
UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: We can all be pretty certain the the professor was an Obama voter, but given that Cambridge gave 40,876 votes to Obama and 4,697 votes to McCain, it is very likely that everyone involved voted for Obama…this is just a very stupid move by Obama, mindlessly playing the race card from the bottom of the deck when even a cursory examination would show the chances of race playing a role here are nil.
