I hope he will go through with this but Obama will probably use his power to make this disappear.
I wonder if Obama would have stated that some arrest is stupid if it wasn't for his black friend ::)
Fucking president....bowing to Arabs and kissing Illegal aliens asses.....awesome change ::)

They both should drop this and Gates should shut his mouth about the incident...or have a discussion with his neighbor. CNN pushing the racism in this is completely unprofessional journalism.
