Sometimes the national news takes on a life of its own. This last week we saw this with the story of The Policeman, the Professor and the President. When Connecticut Police arrested Professor Henry Gates, the president of our supposedly post-racial society could not help chiming in and accused the police of acting stupidly.

When the people of this nation were considering for whom to vote in the last election the question of experience came up. Part of the problem is that Barack Obama had never done anything productive in his career. He was a “Community Organizer” which is another name for a spokesman/fund-raiser. We see now that his lack of experience is important, because what a man was before the Oval Office shows up in the Oval Office. He doesn’t understand that as the chief enforcer of America’s laws he cannot continue in the mold of his old career by blaming everything on the police.

Barack Obama has never had to enter a home to corner a possible thief. He has never wondered if the person on the other side of the door was hopped up on drugs or determined to get away even by killing. He has never had to do a mental inventory to make sure he was ready to enter, while pushing aside thoughts of those who could be left behind. His claims of racial profiling in his earlier days do not make him an expert on police procedure. Yet, like all liberal elites he sees himself as all-knowing. Rather than quietly letting the investigations go forward, the political activist in chief had to speak out.
