The President's Recent Remark 'Stupidly'
President Obama recently inserted himself on part of the famous black university professor by calling the behavior of the arresting officer as acting 'stupidly.' This is a clear view of the president's own prejudice by deciding to respond the way he did. Here is a man who is careful to know what he is talking about regarding government business, and comes across as a knowledgeable. Yet in this case, he did not know the full story and responded in ignorance. Again, this reflects his own prejudice.
A president has the responsibility to rise above these types of situations or opportunities to participate. The position he is filling should always come before his own personal preferences and opinions. This example is important enough to me to highlight here. Humble pie is on the menu for the president. That would be the just action for for him to take.
