Obama did something else dumb, that the American people don't approve of :
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,534687,00.htmlBOSTON — Many police officers across the country have a message for President Barack Obama Get all the facts before criticizing one of our own. Obama's public criticism that Cambridge officers "acted stupidly" when they arrested black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. could make it harder for police to work with people of color, some officers said Thursday.
So we get another sensational dose of "Swine Flu" to take the heat off ;
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090724/ap_on_he_me/us_med_swine_fluSwine flu could strike up to 40 percent in 2 yearsATLANTA – U.S. health officials say swine flu could strike up to 40 percent of Americans over the next two years and as many as several hundred thousand could die if a vaccine campaign and other measures aren't successful.
Those estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mean about twice the number of people who usually get sick in a normal flu season would be struck by swine flu. Officials said those projections would drop if a new vaccine is ready and widely available, as U.S. officials expect.
And "Media obsession" is blamed for the post Turtle in Chief making a further ass of himself
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090724/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_harvard_scholarWASHINGTON – The White House says the media's "obsessions" are keeping alive President Barack Obama's comments about the arrest of a Harvard scholar seen trying to get into his own house.
Asked whether Obama regretted commenting on the matter, spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters that the president probably would regret distracting the media with "obsessions."
Gibbs says Obama has "great respect" for police officers and understands what a hard job they have.
He also says Obama has said most of what he's going to say on the matter.
When questioned Wednesday night about the incident, Obama said the Cambridge, Mass., police had "acted stupidly."
In an interview a day later, he said "cooler heads should have prevailed."Yes, like maybe the President should not condemn Cops for doing their job especially after saying he "doesn't have all the facts".
