During a panel discussion on "Fox News Sunday" the topic, not surprisingly, turned to President Obama and the Gatesgate controversy. Bill Kristol had his usual negative reaction to President Obama, but this time he went a little further. In response to the President's statement that he would have calibrated his words differently in his initial statement that the Cambridge police had acted "stupidly." Well, Kristol's response was almost laughable, considering the right wing nutjobs like him couldn't tell former President George Bush what to say when he was busy putting his foot in his mouth on several occasions:
The President could have said, you know that was a stupid thing for me to say. But he didn't say that for some reason. You know, that would be too self-deprecating. And I think he is an arrogant man. And he feels entitled to pass judgment on Cambridge cops or on pediatricians. Source: Think ProgressIs it me or hasn't Bill Kristol made a career passing judgment on other people? Couldn't we make the same argument that he is an ARROGANT man? Let's put this in the proper perspective. The Cambridge cops, including Sgt. Crowley, have said they are “profoundly grateful that the president took time out of his busy schedule to attempt to resolve this situation.” In a statement, Cambridge police officers said, “It is clear to us from this conversation that the president respects police officers and the often difficult and dangerous situations we face on a daily basis.” Earth to Kristol, the President and the officer have made their peace. For Pete's sake, let it go!
