Obama calls white police man a stupid

Washington: The US President Mr. Barrack ObamaBarrack Obama is head over heals in controlling the first ever tense situation that arose after his take over, as there was a wide spread dissent for his calling a white police man a stupid. He is reported to have said that a “white policeman acted stupidly in arresting a black Harvard professor.”

Anxious Obama, the nation’s first African American president spoke during an unscheduled appearance before the media in White House, barely two hours after angry policemen protested in Cambridge and Massachusetts and demanded an expression of regret from him, and tried to pacify the policemen. He has said that he called up the Sergeant . James Crowley who had arrested the profession and explained that he meant no derogation against either him or the Cambridge police. “I could have calibrated those words differently and I told this to Sergeant Crowley” he explained to the media.

The loose remarks that had the potential of upsetting his carefully built up image as the first post-racial president, started last week when the police briefly detained Harvard profession Henry Louis Gates.

Gates was arrested after a neighbor saw him entering his house unexpectedly and mistakenly reported burglary. An altercation followed with the police and the professor accused the police of being racist. The police charged him with disorderly conduct.

Obama who is a friend of Gates, made a slip by stating that the police had acted “stupidly.” He also raised the controversial issue of police discrimination against non-whites. In a damage control operation, Obama is believed to have called the professor and the police officer for a glass of beer. "The fact that this has become such a big issue I think is indicative of the fact that race is still a troubling aspect of our society," Obama said. How far the issue would be sorted out over a glass of beer would have to be waited and seen.
