This was one of his worse moments in office.
I bet even he is embarrassed by this.
This really set us back a lot. It was the first big racial controversy of his presidency, with the *perfect* individual as an example (A famous black college professor, known for being somewhat moderate on racial issues, and is his FRIEND), and he decided to play the middle ground instead of critiquing the cop and the justice system. This set the tone for race under his presidency and he was never really able to get out of this hole. He should have stated from the JUMP that this kind of shyt needed to end. Instead, he decided to have a docile ass "beer summit".
