B.O. and the "beer summit"...

It's ridiculous that B.O. is still calling attention to the incident that happened between a Cambridge cop and a black professor at Harvard. Still, this may be B.O.'s highest level of competence, trying to act as intermediary between the two principals in a rural dispute. He certainly hasn't shown any aptitude in foreign affairs for this sort of thing.

Having said that, the President may regret staying involved and putting on the "beer summit". If Gates tries playing the race card to elicit an apology from Officer Crowley and the cop doesn't roll over on command like a good little white boy, the whole thing could blow up in a very public manner.

B.O. should never have opened his mouth and once he (finally) realized his mistake, should have backed out at full speed. Letting the affair die of it's own accord is preferable to escalating the thing in full view of the MSM (who may still be Presidential lapdogs but won't pass on an opportunity to report on an increase in hostilities).

B.O. continues showing his incompetence.

Just my opinion.
